Because of trump voters and non-voters.
We elected a CEO to be president, essentially adding the country itself to his business portfolio. He's obviously going to trade a part of that power to other CEOs in exchange for favors and loyalty to benefit himself. It's nothing more than a business deal to exploit the country and its people for profits, something all wealthy business owners are familiar with, and something Trump didn't even try to hide his plans to do if he was elected.
I dunno but nice interrobang
Can we type those in mobile
I can‽
Spoiler
On Android, I press and hold on the question mark
Not on an apple..

Yoo how have I never considered looking through the press-and-hold alternatives for symbols‽
Yo right‽‽‽
Tbh I googled it. I'd never noticed it either
RIP iOS. It only offers me the regular question mark or the inverted Spanish one.
¿Por qué iOS?
Technically this is a keyboard function, not an OS function. Can you install different keyboards on Apple?
You can, but I wouldn’t. Whenever I’ve looked at the permissions they want to send all key presses to a server. Like installing a key logger.
Because the elected racist, apartheid loving fuck gave him the power. Money buys politicians, politicians make the rich even more so.
It's a big party and we're not invited
No sign of blatant corruption and conflict of interest here, move along please
I'm sure last night's deadly plane crash is just a coincidence...
Most likely. Like you ask a guy to resign and everything doesn’t instantly crumble. Like I’m sure it can’t help with ATC shortages, but to assume this is related to that is just a massive reach.
Trump is a horrible person and Elon is a cunt, but this seemed like it would happen at some point given DC has a lot of low flying choppers.
Exactly. With that being said, ATC shortages are a serious, serious problem. I'm honestly surprised it hasn't made more headlines, but maybe that will be a silver lining to this crash. Most major ATC facilities are dangerously understaffed with controllers working mandatory overtime. They are not hiring and training people nearly fast enough to account for the amount of controllers that are set to retire.
It seems insane to me that you would have ATC people working mandatory overtime. Like it’s a role that is very stressful.
Yeah FAA management is really shitting the bed. The controllers that I know also feel like they are unable to seek professional help for stress and health issues out of fear that they would lose their jobs. It's amazing that there aren't more disasters.
I'm good with the TSA being destroyed. That was just pork barrel politics and security theater from the start.
It's also one of the largest federal work programs since the civilian conservation Corp. Getting rid of it without a replacement in line =bad for economy and jobs.
Put the TSA agents to work doing something actually useful and productive then.
I wonder how many TSA agents voted for Trump?
The TSA is the second largest employer of high school dropouts in the country, after Walmart. Education level is highly correlated with voting patterns.
Probably all of them.
Edit: Well, all of them that can legally vote. I wouldn't be surprised if some of them had criminal records that prevented them from voting.
Boo friggity hoo.
The TSA can do their job without any leadership and there would be no consequences.
Lol
