So once again it’s tax cuts (passed quickly via a reconciliation bill, with amnesty in a second ‘bipartisan’ bill) vs. border control (two reconciliation bills, with border first)?

I’ve now DM’d with whoever answers @JetBlue’s DMs. Not a satisfying exchange! They say “we don’t have any access to modify your pending charges.” So their faulty website can send out multiple erroneous charges willy nilly, mucking up people’s credit, and there’s no recourse? https://t.co/plVR6m3rlY

Sounds like a job for the @FTC, eh @AFergusonFTC? CC: @mrmeador. A concrete rule–no pending charges imposed unless you actually sell a ticket–would allow the market to work without collateral damage, like the rule saying you can’t be charged until your online purchase ships. https://t.co/b7EzFgpbQo
