Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg vowed to investigate the Southwest Airlines meltdown that stranded thousands over the holidays. But @mehdirhasan has a question for Buttigieg: Wouldn’t it have been better to try and keep this crisis from happening in the first place?

You’ll know exactly why Pete didn’t and won’t do 💩 when he’s on the board of American Airlines in 3 years. He’s a corporate stooge from day one.

When did crystal balls become a prereq for any cabinet member to prevent things that are literally unpredictable? Come on, Mehdi.

Who water are you carrying for this crap? Sirota? Turner? They’re literal and figurative losers.

Wouldn’t a better question be - why haven’t PREVIOUS Secretaries of Transportation been working on this? Pete’s been in office for right at two years; Southwest has been ignoring this problem since the 1990s.
