    …or understaffed air traffic control where controllers have to do 2 jobs at once. Then you have a helicopter pilot who was not following ATC instructions.

    Nepotism(hiring unqualified friends and family) is far more rampant and way more destructive than DEI policies ever could be. DEI policies may help unqualified people gain low level positions, but with nepotism it’s usually high level positions.

    Yeah, refuting an argument by saying “other stuff is at fault” is the work of a true well educated and informed intellectual.

    Ah, right, of course the FAA is plopping unqualified people down in air traffic controller chairs to fulfill diversity goals, just like fits with Don’s delusions. Except that isn’t happening, ATC’s have to undergo a rigorous physical and mental health check. There are plenty of other jobs in the FAA that this policy applies to.

    For those keeping score, in his journey to fuhrer, you can mark this spot on your “classification of people Trump will put in camps” bingo card.

      Yup that is how this presidency will be explained. America had the potential to be the greatest country in the world, but it just always remains out of reach, and that fucker you have in charge will irreparable do even more damage.

      I feel sorry for what you (not you in particular) voted for (or what was stolen by the tech bros).

      Hope you make it through this.

    As an autistic person (and no, we don’t throw Nazi Salutes as stimming…) I honest to fucking god am so numbed by this guy’s bullshit that it is kinda incredible.

    All I could think of is how the mentally disabled were the first victims of the holocaust in WW2. Starting in 1939 around the time of the invasion of Poland.

    The accident is 100% on Elon Musk and Trump. They fired the FAA safety officials and never replaced them, in addition to cutting massive amounts of funding and personnel that made an accident like this inevitable.

    Fuck him. Fuck him HARD.
