Congrats, Elizabeth Warren, On The Death Of Spirit Airlines
Submitted by QTR's Fringe Finance
Elizabeth Warren has built an entire political career on presenting herself as the righteous defender of ordinary Americans against powerful corporations.
Every speech is some variation of the same script: she's fighting for workers, fighting for consumers, fighting for families, and standing up to greedy executives and monopolistic corporations that are supposedly rigging the system against everyone else. It is a message carefully designed to make her sound like a populist champion of the middle class while putting a polish on inherently broken socialist ideas.
When her flawed ideology collides with reality, it repeatedly produces outcomes that hurt the exact people she claims to represent. Spirit Airlines may be one of the clearest examples yet.

|
|
|
The communication services sector is a concentration bet dressed up as diversification. After the 2018 GICS reshuffle pulled Meta, Alphabet, Netflix, and Disney out of technology and consumer discretionary, the sector became dominated by a handful of mega-cap platforms sitting alongside legacy telecom and traditional media.

8 In 10 Chatbots Inclined To Assist Users In Planning Attacks
Eight out of ten AI chatbots have been found to actively assist users in planning violent attacks, according to a new investigation by CNN and the Center for Countering Digital Hate.
As Statista's Anna Fleck reports, when asked to plan violent attacks including a school shooting, an antisemitic bombing and a political assassination, platforms such as Perplexity, Meta AI and DeepSeek regularly assisted users in finding answers.
Only one, Anthropic's Claude, repeatedly discouraged users from taking action.

Researchers tested ten chatbots by acting as a user planning to carry out several types of violent attacks both in the United States and in Ireland, providing a European comparison.
The tests were designed to reflect plans for school shootings or knife attacks, assassinations targeting politicians or bombings targeting political parties or synagogues.
In over half of the responses f...
