Trump to fire hundreds from FAA despite four deadly crashes on his watch

That's usually how it goes. It comes tumbling down very quickly. Hitler dismantled democracy in 53 days. We're 4 weeks--28 days--into Musk's Trump's presidency.

Breaking shit is easy (and fast and cheap). A dumb bull in a China shop can cause a lot of damage in seconds without even trying.

Building or repairing things takes skill and a lot of time and money.

Nope. Took Hitler 53 days. Let's circle back on that statement in a few weeks and see if the government is still here or not.

It’s been in the making for 30 years, this is just the endgame. Fox News started in 1996.

I was told that Kamala (or Biden) would have been just as bad, because bothsides.

It's not new. This has been part of "The Game" forever. There are no real rules to life and the people playing the game have been trying forever to get what they want.

There never was authentic protection or security. They just corralled the population into a lifestyle of consumerism while they did whatever they want. Each side entices the people, markets them, uses them as a product, and plays them out. It's all game.

I like immortal techniques line; "I laugh at America's fears of a new world order controlling the hemisphere, because my people have been living that for the past 500 years."

Same game different storyline. Some us didn't have life before trump so what's happening now is just the same old war on humanity. That's not downplaying the advancement.

We shouldn't have settled for what was, and we shouldn't settled for what's becoming.

A great documentary about manipulation of society is The Century of Self, and The Trap series by Adam Curtis. If you're interested you can see them on YT.

Basically western life has been a series of false hope used to persuade people to being tools for what more wealthy people want. The street works the same way. Looks at gangs, mafia, cartels... Scale that same ideology up and you have governments. Military paid for by tax, mafia hits paid for by dues. Nationalism and pride used for numbers of power, loyalty used in gangs for numbers of power. ...so if the problem which group is doing it? Or is the problem all groups that are doing it? They are powered by the same essence. People with an existential crisis trying to make the world for their perception but it never will. Ever.

Despite everything, the odds of being in an airplane accident are still extremely low.

That's largely because of the safety systems in place. Remove those and safety (along with aircraft) plummets.

I don't think ignoring a systematic issue can be put on the same level as actively enabling it. sure, previous presidents haven't helped much, which is asking for a tragedy to happen, but trump has been pretty much forcing them to happen with these cuts.

As if the shitty Boeings they are allowed make aren't enough to cause crashes.

The DC crash is interesting. Have you seen this video? https://youtube.com/watch?v=1IUJpRwzHZU

Seems like there were several factors. But we'll need the black box analysis to know more.

The Helicopter pilot was certainly in the wrong place, but from their point of view, it's understandable why they were in the wrong place.

The question is, did the controller give clear guidance?

And would a second pair of eyes on the situation have helped?

Wait, so it isn't trumps fault but we had 4 crashes since he's taken office? Bro it's his fault what the hell are you talking about? One of those is directly his fault.

Of course, but the AmeriKan attitude is do more with less.

Also, the one in DC really sounds like a fuckup by the helicopter crew. The ATC warned the helicopter crew about the incoming plane twice and the helicopter crew indicated both times they saw the plane and were maintaining visual separation (watching the plane and keeping their distance).

Was the military exercise being done in DC when the helicopter crashed being done as part of a normal schedule, or at the request of the Trump administration? From what I understand it was an excercise for having to potentially evac the white house

The Norfolk Southern crews nicknamed 32N as "32 Nasty." They knew a derailment was inevitable.

True. Even under Bush there was only this one incident in 2001.

And I've barely heard about the other three. It took us barely any time to treat plane crashes as we treat mass shootings.

And that month is February

The move comes less than three weeks after a U.S. Army helicopter collided with a passenger jet that was about to land in Washington, D.C., killing 67, and an air ambulance crashed in Philadelphia, killing seven. Ten people died when a regional flight in Alaska went missing and was found crashed, earlier this month. Days later one person died in Scottsdale, Arizona, when a plane veered off the runway and collided with a parked aircraft.

PHX collision on the ground and Alaska private plan crash.

Commercial crashes? 0 is the normal number. But generally aviation crashes are much less rare, sadly. They happen.

The Gang Fixes the Climate Crisis

With Teslas autonomously crashing into everything?

That's what the hyperloop is gonna solve, obviously

Yes, nothing exceptional about Trump, all "slow but inevitable". It's all the government's fault, don't look at the rich oligarch that owns a personality cult creating social network behind the curtains...

Oversight didn't do that; fucking up the manufacturing did that.

They are all out.

It's not worth putting my life in their hands.

and they will crash it and then react like they've just lost a game to a 12 year old kid who called them a shithead.
