A proposed class action lawsuit alleges JetBlue employs “surveillance pricing” by using customer personal data and third-party programs to dynamically set ticket prices. This practice, which allegedly involves “trackers” to adjust fares based on browsing history and other data, was brought to light after the airline suggested clearing browser cache and cookies to a customer experiencing a significant price hike.

Speculation regarding President Trump’s mental fitness has intensified, with some commentators suggesting frontotemporal dementia as an explanation for his behavior during the US-Israel war on Iran. This form of dementia affects judgment, empathy, language, and impulse control, which critics argue aligns with his escalating threats and rambling tendencies. However, diagnosing such a condition from afar is not only impossible but also irresponsible, potentially absolving intentional behavior and increasing stigma for those with actual dementia.
