Listening to CNBC this morning and they had the CEO of Delta Airlines on and they were discussing bookings, costs, and inflation, and he sort of topped his hand giving me a moment of panic for the 2028 election and 2032 as well.
He made a comment that airfares, despite the high prices, are 5 to 15% lower from the margins the airlines were used to. So if fuel prices return to pre-war levels, fares will be unlikely to drop.
Here's where my moment kicked in: are we headed to a 2029 where Dems win, but all these corporations across all industries decide that they need to "correct" their balance sheets after a half decade of Dump's shitty policies, jack up prices, and cause a 2022 inflation bubble (or bigger), blame it all on Dems, and return to solid GOP rule in 2033?
