The Enshittification of American Power

Southwest is dismantling what made them stand out. With baggage fees, seat assignments, outdated planes lacking charging ports and in flight entertainment, what’s the incentive to fly with them anymore? Feels like a recession era cash grab. Ridiculous.

i genuinely have no idea what's best for southwest, financially, but i am reminded of the immortal words of Costco founder Jim Sinegal: "If you raise the effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out."
Southwest Airlines will end its free checked bags policy for the first time in its 54-year history.
Starting May 28th you'll have to pay to check your bag.

"This is how you destroy a brand. This is how you destroy customer preference. This is how you destroy loyalty. And this, I think, is going to send Southwest into a financial tailspin," airline industry analyst Henry Harteveldt said.

Anybody else ready to give the @nflbluesky.bsky.social the least viewed #SuperBowl of all time? I'm down to boycott. We all know the #Chiefs win, Mahomes gets his 3-peat, and we'll hear how we need to think about whether Mahomes has already surpassed @tombrady.bsky.social for GOAT. Insufferable.
