Purchased my plane ticket for my uncle's services later this month. And now that United is servicing Roswell, my ticket was less than $300. American Airlines can kick rocks. Their prices were super expensive.

Thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill, Amazon saw its corporate income taxes shrink by more than HALF last year, even as its profits climbed. But instead of investing the savings into their workforce, Amazon just announced thousands of layoffs and plans to spend $200B on AI. Textbook corporate greed.
