JetBlue finally admitted what we all suspected: They’re using customers’ search history against them to drive up price,” @owenslindsay1 told @GennaContino.
The confession was no mistake. Their only mistake was pulling the curtain back on their own deceptive pricing practices.
Wrote about this post from JetBlue for @MarketWatch. The airline told me the tweet was an error, but critics aren't convinced. @owenslindsay1 from @Groundwork said she sees it as a "cold-blooded confession" that they are using customer data to drive up prices.
Trump’s tariff refund portal? Consumers won’t see a dime.
Big corporations plan to pocket their returns and keep prices high.
Consumers paid the price. They should get the refund.
United and American airlines want to merge. Their CEOs admit it’ll lead to higher airfares and less flights.
Airlines already gouge consumers any chance they get. This merger will only make it worse.
The Fed confirmed last week what working families know to be true: Trump’s illegal war in Iran is driving up prices.
It couldn’t be clearer, says @AlexSJacquez. As long as Trump continues on this destructive path, it’ll be workers & consumers paying the price.
The annoyance economy - the scams, robocalls, and AI chat bots, leaves “people feeling overwhelmed, ignored, or jerked around” and costs “wasted time and lost money,” the @FT reports.
How much money? $165 billion.

This month, consumer sentiment reached an all-time record low. Trump’s war with Iran & the resulting skyrocketing gas prices are a big reason why.
"Gas prices are highly visible… People have to fill up weekly; they often don't have much of a choice whether they pay or not,”
Here’s how pricing has always worked: the same item at the same store will cost the same price. Thanks to pricing experimentation, that’s no longer the case.
Americans aren’t only frustrated by high prices - they’re frustrated by a system designed to gouge them, says
The path to a fair economy isn’t more tax cuts – it’s everyone paying their fair share.
“It starts to reinforce this idea that taxes, rather than being a thing that we all have to pay in order to support the kind of society that we want, are a punitive tool from the government,”
The war in Iran has airline executives practically tripping over themselves.
Don’t take it from us. Just listen to what they’re saying.
Filing taxes should be easy & 100% free. And for a little while, it was through a program called Direct File.
But of course, Trump killed it.
Because why give the American taxpayer something for free when his buddies are getting really rich by charging you for it?
Annual Tax Day reminder that Trump killed Direct File and now taxpayers have no choice but to shell out millions a year to TurboTax ✌️
Here’s a secret that TurboTax doesn’t want you to know: filing your taxes every year could be 100% free. But Trump is too cozy with Big Tax companies.
They lobbied so Americans would have to spend time & money to file their taxes - and to no one’s surprise – Trump caved.
Instead of waging a war on inflation, Trump is prioritizing his war on Iran that will only make things worse.
Credit card delinquencies are ⬆️. Savings rates are ⬇️. Wages are stagnated.

.@NYCMayor’s plan to raise taxes on millionaires just makes sense.
“It’s really clear that a modest tax increase on millionaires is just vastly preferable to the alternative, draconian budget cuts that are going to hit families hard,” said @owenslindsay1.
