Spirit should become the deportation airline. Low cost, slightly chaotic, no seat assignments and one bag per deportee.

RochesterDon's avatar

"Spirit Away" - love it!

Freedom Fox's avatar

Spirit Airlines corporate culture was terrible. Their definition of customer service was f'ing you in the A without lube and then laughing when you screamed in pain. When they did that to me in 2016 I told my customer "server" that *when* they went out of business - not if - it would be the universe delivering karmic justice. Only took a decade. But it truly is a dish best served cold. Their tears are Dee-licious!!

No bags. They should forfeit all assets acquired while here illegally.

patrick.net/memes's avatar

Yes, in fact all US assets should be expropriated from all criminal aliens and used to fund mass deportation.

I hope.

Cuz if that doesn't happen, the concern we all should all have is ... wait for it...which airline do their customers start flying on next?

Dave Slough's avatar

Frontier for sure but let’s hope they start taking Gavin’s high speed rail

Ryan Gardner's avatar

Lolol.

Maybe allowing Spirit Airlines to go bankrupt was a good thing so that the "bus people" are forced to start taking the bus again...lol...thats terrible.

Gathering Goateggs's avatar

Need to make sure there are bus routes to get them to their Carnival Cruise Line embarkations.

Willing Spirit's avatar

If they lose their food subsidies, that’s going into eat into their cruise experiences. Take away their housing assistance and the sales of luxury cars will suffer.

@Goat- See my comment!!!!! Great minds!

Allegiant has entered the chat.

Mary Pat FitzGibbons's avatar

I like Allegiant. It flies from Punta Gorda FL to Asheville NC (oldest son) and Albany NY (youngest son) and they are direct flights. Albeit not every day of the week. :)

Gigi's avatar

Ditto! Six years frequently flying Allegiant between Fort Lauderdale and Lexington: nonstop, often under $100 round-trip. I recall one excessively delayed flight (@2hr) and one canceled flight (cost $36) for which I received $400 in credit toward future travel.

I love Allegiant! Hope they stay in business!

Gathering Goateggs's avatar

That was 80% busting on my friend Stu -- he just made captain at Allegiant, which is a little alarming to me since I remember when he was struggling to land a Cessna 172 in an 8 knot crosswind.

The other 20% totally justified tho.

Roger Beal's avatar

Your description of Stu's flying skills suggest his real home is in the left seat on a Ryanair jet.

JT Hawk's avatar

Allegiant's routes are so limited, and idiosyncratic, that the airline has limited its appeal.

Ryan Gardner's avatar

Lolol

Allegiant vs Spirit is like comparing Ketanji Brown Jackson to retards...oh wait, they're equivalent

Ryan Gardner's avatar

He is a national treasure

Dave Slough's avatar

And she earned every word of it

JT Hawk's avatar

Frontier has done a decent job of being a lower-cost airline without overt appeal to low-class people. I'm not sure how they dodged that bullet, but they seem to have it figured out. I used to fly Frontier a lot (I used to use their credit card as my business card and had tons of miles) till they changed their routes, making a four hour flight a 14-hour flight. After switching to United I don't find a huge difference in quality. If Frontier lets itself take over the bargain basement tier of flying it may end up in a Spirit-like mess.

SHug's avatar

Oh dear. Frontier is already advertising a "go wild summer". They used to be pretty good at calling out and putting down bad behavior.

Personally, I think anyone who is brawling, causing chaos or just being a safety hazard should be on the No Fly list for 10 yrs. They can ride the bus until they figure out how to behave in public. Shame needs to become popular again.

Willing Spirit's avatar

That’s stupid on display! They’re in for a teaching like Busch got.

JT Hawk's avatar

I think that is a very bad decision on Frontier's part. They need to look at what happened when cruise ships started to appeal to this kind of crowd. Frontier has struggled to overcome its bargain basement image, and doesn't need to start downhill again.

Willing Spirit's avatar

The name Frontier probably dredges up thoughts of ‘no nonsense’ Marshall Dillion.

JT Hawk's avatar

Actually, it is probably related to the fact that it was started to create a low-cost carrier that would serve the western United States. It is was, and is, based in Denver. I suppose to some it was on the "frontier" as back in 1950 no doubt anything west of Chicago was the Wild West.

Neil Kellen's avatar

...passengers will be frisked for weapons before boarding and if they are found to have none, they will be given one...

Flights will be piloted by drone operators at ICE HQ.

Oma's avatar

Thank you for that suggestion. Our oldest son is a pilot and I would NEVER put any of them in that position! He flew enough of the first handcuffed-foot-chained-to-waist chained illegals back to their ‘respected’ home countries—Haiti being his last flight when having to tell the “ATC” building that he refused to land where they instructed him to land three times because of the dangerous condition of that area for his large plane and he finally told the “ATC” he would land his plane at his discretion “and they would LOVE it!” (Don’t ask him about his short stint with a “private” plane company that he called “Moms with Money and No Sense” whose client drank all the wine and her toddlers trashed the plane lol!!! It took him hours to clean up all the thrown M&Ms and empty wine bottles!!

Debra Nolasco's avatar

I remember one episode of "All in the Family" when Archie advocated that all passengers should be given a gun when boarding a plane & collected when leaving the plane, to put an end to the highjacking that was going on at the time. His son-in-law, Michael (aka: Meathead), of course was completely averse to such an idea. Seemed like a good idea to me at the time, as much as I generally disliked guns at one time. My opinion on that has evolved over time.

Matt L.'s avatar

Jeff’s take on Spirit airlines was very weak. Some poor headlines of fighting by passengers so good riddance?

That’s throwing out red meat and a cop-out. Frontier first wanted to buy Spirit. Then JetBlue came in with better offer.

Federal US judge William Young of the District of Massachusetts then blocked JetBlue's $3.8 billion acquisition of Spirit Airlines in Jan 2024, ruling that the merger violated antitrust laws, arguing it would hurt consumers by eliminating Spirit, as this would reduce competition.

Well now that Spirit is no longer, is competition now greater?

Don’t let the poor people organize, I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

God is surely most wonderful. I am awestruck by His creations every single day. I make sure to tell Him how much I appreciate Him, the beauty He created and the wonders of the universe He allows us to behold. God is awesome.

Guy White's avatar

Every morning — especially this time of year — I’m reminded of God’s incredible creativity and beauty and how grateful I am to be able to experience it, especially as one of His born-again children. It’s simple: AI could never make a hummingbird, never begin to design it, never even conceive of the idea! And there they are flitting around the patio every morning. What joy fills my heart!

Jeanne Schwass's avatar

We have a Mexican Sage and a Cranberry Salvia in our front yard. One of my favorite things to do in the morning is to sit on our deck with a cup of coffee and watch the sweet hummingbirds flit from flower to flower. On occasion, one has come near the deck entrance and hovered, as if to say, "Thanks for the flowers!"

You’re welcome! I had been reading the lyrics to that song this morning and singing it to the Lord and myself, before I read C&C, and it fit the comment so perfectly.

Margot Wooster's avatar

You’re welcome! I cried watching the video of those beautiful young believers.

Angels, that was very touching. I was a young man when Keith hit the scene, 75 now. Such a devoted talent. We sang that song in the church I was attending, a song you could really engage with. At the time I didn't recognize it as a Keith Green song and hadn't hear the story of his writing it.

Ends on the 11th. I have plastered all over social media and Truth Social Sayer Ji's article on this and you can't believe how many people are on board with getting that POS indicted.

WHY is it that mentally unstable people with axes to grind like Palisades arsonist Jonathan Rinderknecht don't perform a true public service by directing their ire at the likes of Fauci? Enquiring minds want to know.

Familiar with the term "prison justice?" Typically exacted on ChoMo's (child molesters) because what the law usually delivers is unjust by its insufficiency. Just sayin'.

I am still praying Maureen. If anybody can make it happen, it is God.

I am relieved that Fauci can now get what he deserves. The evil that he has done is not only a crime against humanity but has set back the integrity of science.

Mary Pat FitzGibbons's avatar

Wow that was quite the article. I too pray that he in indicted and convicted. He is a bad man.

Barbara ( Portlander😵‍💫)'s avatar

I thought he had blanket immunity?.

Dena's avatar

Not sure if the autopen immunity covers lying to Congress.

Mary Ann Caton's avatar

It makes sense that the autopen immunity should not cover lying to Congress because Congress is a co-equal branch of government that doesn't answer to Executive branch dictates. It's the same reason why Biden's covid shot mandates could not include Congress.

Marty Kiner's avatar

MAHA needs to push for a Fauci indictment stat!

Johnny-O's avatar

Why? I thought team Trump was team freedom and that they would obviously prosecute the wrongdoers for the biggest crime against humanity in human history?? But then again, I don't see Trump prosecuting himself for his own role played in it all. And yes, I'm well aware that Trump didn't mandate it, which somehow absolves him from any responsibility/culpability for some reason to many around here.

Maha's avatar

Trump is not an epidemiologist, infectious disease guy, or biochemist. He was advised by criminal conspirators. His original instincts were correct--COVID was a scam--but he, like many, had no clue how all-pervasive and deadly it was. Combine the depth of the conspiracy, against his presidency and the American people, with the all powerful Pharma Cartel distributing the resultant bio- weapon, all while Trump was fighting the Democratic lawfare machine, it seems misplaced to place blame on him.

Also consider he was actively looking at working around Fauci's "grip" on the so-called White House Coronavirus Task Force, who he had assigned that ass-kissing Pence to lead. He asked the competent Dr Scott Atlas to evaluate the workings of the group, and intercede as required. Atlas essentially reported that Fauci and Deborah Birx were like two idiot children with no understanding of infectious disease, or were they competent in Public Heath basics. Atlas would make recommendations to Fauci and Birx, who would say yes, we could do that, and never implement the changes. All this time, Trump was fighting a war with members of his own Administration and the machinations of the Democrat loyal judiciary.

Steve Stevens's avatar

None of your excuses holds water.

-It doesn't take an epidemiologist, infectious disease guy, or a biochemist to question the safety of a new vaccine that is approved in a year when it normally takes ten years.

- A president who believes regulations (like vaccine safety tests) are bad played right into the hands of evil people like Fauci and company.

-Why didn't he listen to Atlas?

-Why is he bothering to fight a war with anybody when ultimately HE'S the decider?

-The all powerful Pharma Cartel couldn't deliver their bio-weapon without his approval.

-To this day he STILL believes the covid vax is safe!

Maha's avatar

You're wrong on every front.

Johnny-O's avatar

Really? Well, I am not an epidemiologist or biochemist, vaccine regulator, etc, and I was able to quickly figure out that mRNA vaccines had never been safely produced and had been abject failures. We were told it was "safe and effective" despite the safety trials being ongoing. The poster isn't wrong at all - you just don't want to acknowledge the tough reality that Trump is a con man, and you all are being conned.

Johnny-O's avatar

So, the grand master chess player was duped? And duped by the big pharma criminal cartel nonetheless - who anyone with an inkling of street smarts would know better than to be fooled by.

Sorry, I just don't buy it - especially considering Trump has never admitted being fooled or making a mistake - in fact, he's done the opposite and bragged about OWS. You can't have it both ways as much as many of you around here would like to.

Maha's avatar

Well, here's the great news. You don't have to "buy it". But it doesn't make your assessment correct.

Dear Mr Black Pill: Mr Comey has been arrested and indicted.

Fauci was pardoned by President Autopen for all his federal crimes. Trump can't indict for state crimes. However, Fauci associate Dr David Morens was just indicted by the DOJ for concealing and destroying federal communications with Dr Death related to covid research.

Hi Barbls- Aren’t there gg to be some hard questions about the validity of auto pen pardons and blanket pardons with no crime attached ??

And will be tried in a Biden/Obama/Clinton appointed judge court, by Biden/Obama/Clinton jurors. It ain't black pill to know when you're sitting at a poker table where the dealer has rigged the game when you spot the marked cards. But, hey, at least you're sitting at the table, woohooo!!

Not.

There may be some justice coming after the midterms. Watch for a potential haymaker against the Dems coming in from a direction not expected. I read about this a few weeks ago, and am concerned it should not be discussed further. I know, not very useful. But hopefully, it will come to fruition.

Barbls's avatar

True. The trials by law have to take place in the district where they occurred. I wonder what workaround can be done that won't be undone by the very judges who want to protect the criminals.

Freedom Fox's avatar

The work around is the internet. They've already gone into conservative districts and extradited people to liberal jurisdictions for persecutions/prosecutions in rigged venues, for memes and other communications that cross state lines, like the entire internet does. Just show one person who was harmed/impacted by something they did/said that was felt/heard in a conservative jurisdiction and that's your workaround. Goose meet gander.

Maha's avatar

As much as it sucks I doubt you could touch Fauci, he was probably too careful. Based on the Morens indictment it seems to be the case.

Probably better to spend resources going after Baric, Dazek and their ilk.

It’s really too bad all the good democrat communist fellow travelers got in the way of Spirit merging with Jet Blue for 3.8 billion dollars. This should have been avoided. At least temporarily, airline tickets have gone up 50-100%. Spirit had a very young list of airplanes which made them valuable especially to Jet Blue. This is what you get with people that never ran a business!

The pioneer of global warming, Al Gore, is now trying a new scam telling people there is going to be an ice age in 25 years. I think he recently saw the movie The Day After Tomorrow and thought it was real and concluded the planet now has a cold. Anyway to frighten people to make a buck!

I was waiting in line for a holiday tour of Baltimore Mansion, when I first heard that! It was quite a joke.

I honestly believe Al Gore absolutely hates America because after all the drama he lost.

He also liked the line that he had been a public servant for his entire adult life.

In the teachers’ lounge I pointed out that it had apparently made a multimillionaire out of him, so where was the sacrifice? I got blank stares from all the sheep.

Marty, I think it is axiomatic to remember the Marxist-inspired Democrats have got a handle on any and all changes to the biosphere, whether temperature, polar ice, acidification, or CO2 levels rising. It is your fault. Not their fault, they are trying to "fix it". If it is actually unfixable, and unexplainable in any rational way, it's still your fault.

VelvetStitching's avatar

I think they are TRYING to create an ice-age! All this sky spraying seems to be lowering the temps.

I remember in the 60's and 70's in Minnesota it WAS colder than Alaska! The last winter I lived in MN (1983) we had actual temps of negative 60 and wind chill temps of negative 110!!! I decided that winter to MOVE!

WHY do these "nuttier than squirrel turds" (to quote a favorite blogger - Devin Gibson) people want to desecrate our planet and the human civilization?! It is crazy!

I wish "they" would just stop!

Any mention of Al Gore takes me back to the ‘hanging chads’ of 2000. Florida was the determiner in a razor thin race. Florida has two time zones; CST west of Tallahassee in the panhandle. The rest of the state is EST. The Panhandle is very conservative, with several military bases employing hundreds of thousands of people, who would and did head to the polls after work.

Dan Rather caused the chaos of the 2000 election. At 7:00 EST, he declared the polls were closed in Florida and Al Gore had won the state and the presidency. Disgusted conservatives, lined up to vote at 6:00 p.m. in the Florida Panhandle, left in droves.

It was never about seniors in Florida not being able to punch holes. No one has ever called out Dan Rather. He should have been jailed.

He has to be close to meeting his maker.

Trump has effectively solved every problem we have, except for one: how can we get rid of the "kill switch" coming soon to a new vehicle near you.

Lori's avatar

and the rogue judges and quite frankly, the whole damn democrat party except Fetterman and a few others.

Juju's avatar

The rogue judges!!! Apologizing to the guy that tried to assassinate the president? That judge should be removed from the case

Susan Seas's avatar

I agree he should be removed from something, not just the case. Maybe courtrooms altogether!

I am telling you, they are mentally and spiritually devoid of what is right and moral. They are truly diseased, no doubt about it. What these judges believe is to fuck over the victims and their families and honor and praised the depraved deviants. In fact, I truly believe if given the chance, these insane judges would watch the deviant attack a victim, egg them on to do the worst harm and even participate themselves. It makes me wonder how many of them practice SRA since their whole view of justice is backwards. They have got to be possessed bc this is how Satan works-normalize what is abnormal and deviant.

VelvetStitching's avatar

That judge should be removed from judging!

Mary Ann Caton's avatar

The Dems are in the midst of collapse as a serious contender for public office. But the judges are a huge problem with their lifetime appointments, that, and the Senate isn't confirming nominees for the judiciary. Way to go, Thune.

Lori's avatar

Yup, we got the RINOS and the Dems which equal AINOs. Americans in name only.

Margot Wooster's avatar

Ooh, that’s a good one!

Occam's avatar

oh, and global war fomented by the US

Mary Ann Caton's avatar

I think you mean fomented by Iran.

Richard Whitney's avatar

Yes, that Iran, bombing their own leaders and their own schoolchildren.

Totally their fault.

Mrs. RW

No, the Iran that has killed over 40k of it's own citizens. and many other Muslims in the ME.

Congressman Massie -the guy Trump hates- introduced an amendment to prohibit funding for the kill switch. It failed. Look at all of the Republicans who voted against it or didn't vote. Republicans suck all most as much as Democrats!

You're forgetting about our debt problem. And reducing income tax revenue just makes it worse along with the inflation that comes with it.

GregWA's avatar

Pity Trump can't end the Income Tax before the midterms! That would seal the victory!

But I also have high hopes on that front in light of SCOTUS's Louisiana ruling and fast tracking.

Is anyone keeping score: which States are re-drawing their electoral maps in light of Louisiana? And what is the estimated shift in Dem vs Rep seats?

ViaVeritasVita's avatar

But he may begin to drop the idea into the national conversation. And ....."promises made, promises kept" has some traction.

I so wish. I hope he makes sure Fauci is indicted.

Now if we could just get Republicans to get off their duffs and DO SOMETHING! Like codify all of Trump's EOs!! 🌩️🌩️🌩️🥊🥊🥊🏋🏼🏋🏼🏋🏼

Arnold C Fossen's avatar

The DOJ needs to immediately file lawsuits against all the states with race-based voting districts and demand that they immediately fix their unconstitutional districting policies.

How will the government get funded then? Print more money and cause inflation while driving up interest rates?

Spirit was the Carnival Cruise of airlines.

Lol. I was thinking Spirit Airlines is the Chucky Cheese in the sky.

Tom's avatar

Fabio: "I can't believe it's an airline!"

Melissa S's avatar

And now their clientele will be flying (and brawling) on other airlines. Maybe it is time to consider "no fly" lists for people who can't technically be classified as terrorists but who are a danger to other passengers and airport and airline staff.

Susan Seas's avatar

I have been fortunate enough to spend a lot of time in Europe, and I came to the conclusion that not all Americans deserve a passport! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Jacquijacq's avatar

Idk - every country leaves something to be desired. Last time I went to Italy, the German tourists were the biggest slobs I e ever seen 🤷🏻‍♀️

Kate's avatar

My parents took me on my first jet trip in the 1960s. Not everyone could fly back in the day but that was a good thing. People dressed nicely and were well behaved.

Penny North's avatar

Maybe install a kill switch in the carry on luggage that sets off an alarm if they are deemed unfit to fly?

Alan Devincentis's avatar

How sad that stereotypes are so damn accurate.

kittynana's avatar

@Alan- there're stereotypes for a reason

Margot Wooster's avatar

I went on three Carnival cruises and had a wonderful time, but that was WAY back in the early 1980’s, and people didn’t act like they do now.

Susan Daniels's avatar

Now, it’s mostly blacks acting black.

Matt L.'s avatar

Spirit was valuable enough that JetBlue wanted to buy it for $3.8B. A US Federal judge (from Massachusetts) blocked the sale stating removing Spirit would decrease competition.

As for different airlines, cruise ships, cars or trucks. Different strokes for different folks.

Susan Daniels's avatar

Elizabeth Warren killed the deal. No one complained when the government bailed out the car makers. Only Ford declined the offer.

Matt L.'s avatar

Elizabeth Warren doesn’t have the power to block that. It was the Biden administration and its DOJ that did the block. Transportation Secretary Pete was also involved.

That said, Warren was a vocal proponent of blocking the JetBlue-Spirit merger, calling it a "Biden win for flyers".

Susan Daniels's avatar

She was the most vocal supporter of blocking the merger. I suspect she has never flown on a commercial flight in her entire life and has never had to worry about the cost.

Kate's avatar

Sometimes people can only afford Greyhound.

I have to admit that I thought this was hyperbole when DJT said this in his inauguration speech. But something about his steely resolved eyes and Melania’s awesome Capone hat stuck with me… now its looking probable…

”In his January 20, 2025, inaugural address, Donald Trump declared the beginning of a "golden age of America," promising to make the nation prosperous, strong, and respected globally. He emphasized a "nationalist" approach, prioritizing American sovereignty, safe borders, and an end to the country being taken advantage of by other nations!

Juju's avatar

He has always said what he means and does what he says. That’s why my support for him won’t falter. Steadfast. Honest. Determined.

MattD's avatar

Exactly my thoughts as well Juju. DJT is a man of his word which is very rare these days. He has a long history of being a true Patriot also. I have come to believe that his …let’s just say … direct and blunt comments are not shots from the hip but well thought out. He is intentionally over the top which both exposes and stimulates the vitriolic stupidity of the TDS crowd and often simultaneously validates his comment and thoughts. He understands people….

Happy sunny Saturday morning all! Loving this NoVA weather right now ! ☀️🌷

Ugh we are overcast rainy and dreary here. But C&C and its community will provide my sunshine today!

Lol - sorry - I’m retired and clearly have no idea what day it is!! On my way to visit a college roommate - so it ‘feels like’ a Saturday. Oof…. Maybe need more coffee….🙄☕️🙃

It rained after midnight, and just now stopped here. But there is more rain moving toward us out of Missouri currently. At least I didn't have storms overnight, just thunder.

VelvetStitching's avatar

We have sunshine - but saw the "sprayers" loading the sky last evening and the haze starting up... Ugh!

Alan Devincentis's avatar

Sunny, dry, 80 in central Florida. Just a little slice of paradise.

Alan Devincentis's avatar

They are building here at an astonishing rate. We need more great minds here.

Juju's avatar

I know, I kept screenshots of our last convo about this where you shared a house for sale near you! Sadly we aren’t ready to move yet and by the time my husband retires (blue collar union so needs to stay near it,) the prices in FL will be out of our reach. They almost already are. Our finances are not increasing with the same rate of home prices due to the demand there. It’s so sad 😢 I don’t think we are going to be able to choose FL unless we commit to another 30 year mortgage for the 50% portion we can’t afford.

Douglas Hamilton's avatar

Dear C & C Readers, to get an example of what R.F.K Jr is up against as he tries to tackle the vaccine scams, have a look at Robert Malone's Substack article of May 2nd, 2026 titled "The Senator the mRNA Industry Built". The concessions made to Senator Bill Cassidy (of Louisiana) to get Kennedy confirmed as HHS Secretary in the first place have handcuffed Kennedy's first 2 years. Hopefully Cassidy will be defeated in the upcoming primary and we won't have to see his evil, ugly mug in the Senate ever again.

LMWC's avatar

Scott Pressler is on it! He is promising to peacefully primary both Cassidy and Cornyn of Texas. This is what we need more of people who make the effort.

The Great Santini's avatar

Jeff, I think you’ve been overly generous with the Reuters story. This isn’t “gossip”. It is lies. Someone made the whole thing up. Frankly the Reuters reporters are almost certainly ‘in’ on the lies, even if they had outside help.

Doug Young's avatar

As a health freedom former Democrat (OK, I was leaning Libertarian because I started my own small business 30 years ago) who worked on the RFK Jr. campaign, once COVID happened and I saw which party leaned most strongly into the narrative, especially out here on the left coast, I can say that I re-evaluated all of the liberal positions there are. Every. Single. One. And I basically switched my entire orientation. Such as not believing some targeted piece of propaganda by Reuters.

PonyBoy's avatar

The writers at Reuters could sure use a "Roto-Rooter" to break the log jam in their arses.

SD Scott's avatar

Good for you! You’ve done the nearly impossible.

Doug Young's avatar

Thanks. Wasn't that hard. Just had eyes to see. We have other friends here in SF who underwent similar transformations (but, yes, some, who did see COVID for what it was, still hang onto some of the old leftist tropes).

Heather B's avatar

My husband just commented to me that if Trump gets rid of the federal income tax then you can bet all the blue states will be raising their tax rates!!

The mass exodus to red states will be unlike anything we are presently seeing

Maureen's avatar

I own a home in a Red state and a Blue state. Given Hochul and Mamdani’s shenanigans, am thinking hard about getting the hell out of NY. Thank God I don’t live in or near NYC.

Lorita's avatar

Living in Oregon, it looks that way. Praying for the voting this month to bring more mental health and sunshine in Salem.

Margot Wooster's avatar

Let them. People need to see.

Linda Whitney's avatar

They already are raising tax rates, Heather.

If federal income tax vanishes, blue states will begin confiscating property, which is their long game objective anyway.

How will the government get funded?
