Spirit Airlines is gone—and the story behind it is a powerful lesson in government overreach, market competition, and unintended consequences. Todd breaks down how regulators blocked a potential merger that may have saved the airline, all in the name of protecting consumers. Now, with fewer flights and less competition, Americans are left dealing with the fallout. Todd explores the role of antitrust laws, the balance between free markets and regulation, and why this situation perfectly illustrates the risks of trusting government intervention. This is more than an airline story—it’s a case study in economic reality.
