Straight up… the numbers coming out of this US-Iran mess are properly scary now.While everyone’s arguing about drones and missiles, my wallet is feeling the actual hit. Just saw that Spirit Airlines officially folded. 15,000 jobs gone just like that. Why? Because jet fuel prices are absolutely mental right now thanks to the Gulf crisis.Rep Ro Khanna dropped a truth bomb too—this whole conflict has cost us roughly $31 billion so far. If u do the math, that’s basically a $1,000 "War Tax" on every single household.I’m paying $4.39 at the pump today and honestly? Experts are saying it’ll double if the Strait of Hormuz actually gets blocked.Iran’s saying war is "inevitable" and China is properly annoyed because their oil supply is at risk. It feels like we're in some weird era of "Grocery Warfare" where the price of my milk is tied to a shipping lane 7,000 miles away.
Properly messy situation.Do u guys actually think there’s a strategic win here? Or are we just funding a massive economic reset that nobody asked for?

the data in this is mental. We’re talking about a $31 billion hit to the public while major carriers like Spirit are just folding overnight. Properly messy times.

Wars don’t exactly help being in jobs either if anything they’re cutting more government jobs for useless wars.
Trash AI cover
Perhaps Spirit Airlines should pick itself up by its bootstraps 🤷🏽♂️
Low effort AI bullshit
Spirit was headed there either way, their problems started far before the Iran conflict.
FYI, the airline industry experiences one of the highest rates of bankruptcy.
