Musk, who's allegedly a very smart businessman fired all of those FAA workers who could repair the hard drive of Air Traffic System. So, now Musk and his "smart" kids cannot use the $25 billion that Biden's Infrastructure Plan for Airports because they have no workers. "Penny wise Pound foolish"!
I have yet to figure out why Americans accept letting republicans threaten, incite violence, attack our way of life and our country.
Something about, what is good for the goose.....
These boys are a bunch of schoolyard bullies. Confront them, they will back down.
I think it was the fourth grade when we figured out, knock the bully on his backside, his power ends immediately.
If he's really big and men, get creative.

God bless our Air traffic controllers. It is a very stressful job, and losing communication has to be one of the most horrible things that could happen on the job.
Well, they switched from Verizon to starlink by orders of Elon for their communication system. And starlink is known for shutting down. Ukraine had that same problem with starlink
that entire airport needs to be torn down and rebuilt, and rebuilt so that once you clear the TSA screenings, you don't have to exit the secure area to travel to the next terminal.
Lol,yep! I was being sarcastic, Trump blames EVERTHING on Biden,why not this. It's very strange how all these planes and helicopters are falling out of the sky,didn't happen during Biden. Maybe Musk and his satellite take over has a lot to do with it. 😉
But does this include issues from blackouts? There is obviously more than one e problem.
My husband had to go through a move with his job. It wasn't thought out or tested, and the training was limited. It caused big problems and was very stressful.
Just had another plane crash in San Diego. Yes,there were "incidents" like doors flying off,but how many were fatal? In first 2 months of 2025 how many lives lost? Actual crashes?
Road trips are fun actually. Stop where you want visit different restaurants around the country. And you don't have to put up strangers rudeness like you do on a plane.
This would be terrifying for them…what a nightmare. You would expect that by 2025, with all the brains and innovation and tech available that things like basic aviation safety wouldn’t be a topic of conversation. This is nuts.
And here we are with the same exact story you hear from everyone that works ANYWHERE. We are short staffed, our equipment is outdated, and on and on. It always goes back to corporate greed. ALWAYS.
Simple analysis; take people's security away, struggle to feed themselves may work in a third world country; But, a well armed society escaping tyranny/GOP'S/ top 1% thinking a false illusion of control over a free society will become the one's hiding/imprisoned/eliminated;"The big Purge begins"!
Republicans said no to funding. You know their promise to their constituents to make sure democrats fail at all cost for their constituents. And you all cheered them on. Now you see the problem with partisan bullshit.

Couldn't be the DOGE cuts to the FAA, no way!

IT. ISN’T.*
As boundlessly/empty as OPEN SKY feels?
IT. ISN’T.
More veh in Air? More INTERACTIONS (Collisions) are LIKELY.
*ACTUAL prob? Is CHAOTIC NATURE of Traff PATTERNS, themselves.
As, alleged ‘SuperGenius’, Musk SHUD’VE discovered, w/‘Auto-Drive Cars’🙄
Gee, I wonder how on earth THAT could’ve happened. 🤔
BUT
Are we witnessing current R&D for the takeover of U.S. Air Systems?
(Putin’s task no. xxx?)
