1/2 MSM once again with the slick shit... It's your responsibility to make it clear that DEI isn't about giving unqualified people positions, it's about addressing systemic racism that ignores, often OVER qualified diverse applicants in favor of white guys...
2/2 I'm sure in many cases the hiring agent isn't actually aware of their racist tendencies, they are hiring someone that reminds them of themselves and not hiring someone that doesn't - based on feelings. NOT based on qualifications though.
Dazed & Confused: the Trump/Musk plan to cut the federal workforce by offering an extra eight months salary and benefits to those who resign by February 6th includes the Federal Aviation Administration.
I.e. the department with the Air Traffic Controllers.
News flash most pilots, mechanics and engineers are white men! Look to blame the incompetence of Trump for firing key people in TSA and FAA. The buck stops there.
Seeing this guy in front of the microphones when things got real was hard to watch. He's in SO far over his head. And he's not the only one that Trump has brought in to his game. These are unserious people in serious positions.
This is racist crap why can’t you call it racist crap literally there is no other way to refer to it without sounding like an idiot so yeah you sound like an idiot
Jan 20th: FAA Director fired (essentially by Elon)
Jan 21st: Air traffic controller hiring frozen.
Jan 22nd: Aviation Security Advisory Committee disbanded.
Jan 28th: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees.
Jan 29th: First American midair collision in 16 years
The Black people are crashing the planes, the Trans people are crashing the planes, the DEI's are crashing the planes. It's just common sense, there were no crashes before DEI!
Is one of the reforms going to be adding more air traffic controllers? Oh, wait! I forgot. They just froze hiring for all of the open positions and tried to lay off everyone else.
Shit. You didn't get the memo?
"Sanewashing" has been retired. It was determined that it was childish and only appealed to those who need enemies, usually the wrong ones, to blame for everything.
So use it at your own risk.
But at least no one will see it from you again on a WaPo story.
Those 'DEI measures' that trump is blaming for the crash have been in effect since 2013-including during his first term- and there has never been a deadly crash like this until he returned to the White House and rolled them back and fired almost all aviation safety personnel.
January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen ➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded ➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees ➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years Making America Great Again!
Well the system worked for 16 years till the head of aviation was sacked a week ago and every Federal employee got a email saying best if you resign...that shit affects your concentration...the cuts meant usually one guy on helicopters and one on planes...the one person was doing both yesterday...
Y’all keep posting nebulous headlines that are leaving people with the impression that you agree with the “blame” being placed on the accident. Perhaps, a headline that states “Did Trump’s new policies eliminating federal aviation positions lead to crash?”
My name is Jeff Bezos’ Wapo. I post links to paywalled articles on social media. I can’t manage to write an informative headline. I will be dead soon, in the darkness I created. Fuck me. I suck. I get what I deserve.
