    President Joe Biden’s Transportation Secretary, Pete Buttigieg, has ignored state attorneys general’s repeated requests to protect consumers and hold airlines accountable for canceling flights in the months leading up to the ongoing holiday travel fiasco.

     

    Airlines have attributed cancellations to staffing shortages, particularly due to a purported shortage of airline pilots because of vaccine mandates.  The pilot shortage is due in large part to actions taken by the airlines forcing pilots into early retirement or otherwise shrinking their pilot pool due to pilots refusing to take covid vaccinations.  The vaccinations have not prevented covid at all as promised by Dr. Fauci and the Biden administration. 

     

    Over the summer over a dozen letters from congress were sent to Buttigieg and Transportation Department General Counsel John Putnam urging the agency to “fully utilize its statutory authority to protect consumers and promote competition in the airline industry.”

    Despite these repeated requests, Buttigieg’s Transportation Department failed to take meaningful action that would have prevented the ongoing holiday travel fiasco.

     

    Instead, Buttigieg appeared on television in early September and falsley said that airline travel “is going to get better by the holidays.” Buttigieg also told talk show host James Corden that the Transportation Department is “really pressing the airlines to deliver better service.”

     

     

    Brandon hired a sissy boy to a man's job. All his administration is full of incompetent losers like himself.

     

    Butt boy was not hired because of his transportation background.  He was hired because he has a husband.  

     

    This story has been buried by our news media because it criticises a man with a husband.

    Its true that the media is burying the story just because Pete is married to a man and a democrat.

     

     

    Mayor Pete is too busy herding gerbils to pay attention to his job. He's is so incompetent that he is going to be be the overwhelming favorite for the next Presidential nomination.   Affirmative action hire.  Nobody can deny the truth.

     

     

    Like we should expect anything other than TOTAL Incompetence from anyone in this administration! It's a three-ring circus with Joey and vice president laughing hyena as the Ring Masters!

     

    If only the media reported the news.

    We bailed them out with so much money, why more aren't talking about this is ridiculous. They are doing what banks did once we bailed them out.

    Fox news is blaming the wrong person.  Buttigieg isn't the CEO of Southwest airlines.  In North America, all airlines made cancellations due to extreme weather.  US transportation department is working on pressuring Southwest to compensate affected customers.

    Who said he was?  This is what was said: "President Joe Biden’s Transportation Secretary, Pete Buttigieg..."

    Where was, solely, Southwest even mentioned in the original post?  I took this to be airlines in general NOT Southwest in particular.

    So, why did you have to change it up like that?

    Buttigieg in September said on "The Late Late Show With James Corden" that airline travel "is going to get better by the holidays." Nina Turner, the national co-chair of Bernie Sanders' 2020 presidential campaign, blamed the problem on Buttigieg's outsized ambitions for higher office.

    "What’s happening with the railroads, airlines & the supply chain is a result of a small city mayor being made the Secretary of Transportation as a means to pad his resume for President," she tweeted Tuesday. "Secretary Buttigieg is a prime example of failing up."

    from Democrat Ro Khanna's Twitter:

    Nearly six months ago ?

    ? & I called for Buttigieg to implement fines & penalties on airlines for cancelling flights. Why were these recommendations not followed? This mess with Southwest could have been avoided. We need bold action.

    Hiring people based on their level of fruitiness is ridiculous.

    The only part of his job title that makes any sense is 'secretary'

    He needs to come down off his high swing and take a permanent leave of absence.

    Haven't you heard it's ALL Putin's fault. Even though the price was higher months before. They blamed it all on Putin.

     

    Edit* I am wondering where it's low? It finally got down to $2.19 a month ago, but it's now $2.69 and I get mine cheaper than most. But yeah Biden took credit for lowering it. But when there were complaints, they said obviously the president doesn't make the prices for gas, but he can make policies that will affect it.

    The better question is who do you blame for, relatively, high gas prices now?

    They may be lower than the all-time high, adjusted for inflation, but are still higher than they were a couple of years ago.

    For example, the 2020 adjusted price was $2.24 and currently the 2022 adjusted price is 3.77.

    So, do you really want to try to be sly and take credit for something that is getting, only relatively, better -- only because it had gotten so, relatively, bad?

    Who do you blame for the bad?  The same folks you want to give credit to for the good -- but not as good as it once was?

    Very deceptive to try to take credit for something without taking blame for messing it up in the first place. peace_5

    This administration is slowly killing the moral of the American people.   Keep telling the people the border is secure, cities are safe, inflation is transitory... the public can clearly see its not true.  We are finding out that our election was tainted ,pandemic ...there was collusion between big tech, government agencies and the democratic party.  I'm sure there is more, we shall see.  Would not be surprised their role on Jan 6.

    but can they see it? The media isn't covering this other than Fox News. That's why all liberals hate them, because if it wasn't for them and the few other more fair reporting media that aren't as powerful as the CNN, MSNBC and the major 3 networks, they aren't seeing these stories. I just went to cnn.com and searched the opening page for "border" no results found. MSNBC, no results, but they are talking about Trump's tax returns. They don't know these are issues because the media is hiding it.

    Collusion... that's why the full press on trump.  It is not so much him but his ideas.  He not part of the swamp.   They afraid of what we already know, that there are alot of dirty people in charge.  They hate musk because he proved what liars they are.  The left have issues when it's not their way.  The left has used agencies as weapons to cover their faults. They have collided with big tech, media , pharmaceutical...all true... they are destroying our country intentionally...

    Obama... paraphrase.. leave it to Joe to fuck things up..enough said right there..

    In time we will see their involvement on Jan 6... their recent history is leading to believe there was some role on the lefts parr.

    "I wasn't able to find any Southwest flights to Phoenix until Friday," he said. "I wasn't going to wait that long because I have a job to do." ---TCU reporter

    And he's not alone. Frog fans on social media and various Frog forums admit they are also deciding to either drive or consider taking Amtrak to Phoenix to get to the game on time.

    And, the frustration reaches to the very top of TCU football. Take Kate Dykes for example.

    "Everyone's family, Sonny's brother, now they're driving to the game because all their flights are canceled. It's just crazy," she said.

    Crazy even for the wife of TCU head football coach Sonny Dykes. 

    They are already in Phoenix as the team gets ready to face Michigan on Saturday.  But, in a six degrees of separation and misery kind of thing, her brother is Joe Golding, the head men's basketball coach at UTEP. 

    On Sunday night, stranded at Dallas Love Field, he noticed three University of Pittsburgh football players in the same predicament, unable to get to El Paso for their upcoming appearance in the Sun Bowl against UCLA this Friday. 

    So, he rented a larger vehicle and drove his own family and the Pitt players the 600-plus miles to far west Texas.

    "And when they texted us to say they were driving and they had the players with them, I mean it's an adventure," Kate Dykes said. "It's like real life Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, you know."

     Same with Michigan as QB JJ McCarty's family has to drive 26 hours to get to the game. Many other fans and families driving too.

    Price history

    The average price for Gas is calculated from a weighted average of retailer data collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Inflation rate is also calculated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The table below shows average prices and their corresponding "real" prices adjusted for inflation rate. To understand how price levels differ from inflation rates, see this article published by the BLS.

    Average prices for Gasoline, unleaded regular, per gallon/3.785 liters:

    Year Average price (Gas) Inflation adjusted price (2022 dollars)
    2022 $3.85 (latest available value) $3.85
    2021 $3.05 $4.08
    2020 $2.17 $3.96
