as someone who doesn't subscribe to no talking about guns after a mass shooting... fewer posts about Trump axing some advisory panel might be okay for now.

I'm not with you on this one just because Trump's attempt at across-the-board gutting of the government will harm lots of people -- and make us more prone to incidents like this.
🧵2/2 that’s why I thought if them, I si feted what would happen if we suddenly went short of them and I saw that’s not supposed to be a possibility. Also, they have mandatory retirement at something like 56.
So 80 something is fit to handle nuclear codes but 56+ can’t be in charge of air traffic.
For no particular reason last night I suddenly couldn’t remember if air traffic controllers were government employees or not and I looked it up. I should have remembered that yes, they are. But the info I found said they were not allowed to be part of the buyout/early retirement 1/2🧵
I was out at dinner and they were showing The Day After Tomorrow on SyFy. It was the near plane crash scene and I couldn't stand to watch it. And that was just a few minutes before I saw this news break. Nope nope nope.
