Among those Trump and Musk fired at the FAA:
- Lawyers who help keep drunk or reckless pilots out of the skies
- Air traffic control support staff
- Employees who track potential new flying hazards like cranes
- Staffers who medically clear pilots to fly

Musk's idiots don't realize that government isn’t a business. By indiscriminately slashing the FAA's staff, they aren't going to make it more efficient. They are going to kill people.
They're just (non-pilot, inexperienced) idiots who think anything governmental is bad.
The dead are his pawns - and that fact has to be acknowledged if it is to be addressed.

Looking forward to a more efficient FAA.
There are too many safety regulations post 9/11.
They didn’t act with that data in mind. It was just a line item
THESE are all of the places we visited in 2023! Now? NADA :(
But I am sad for family, friends and colleagues who do.
I live under a flight path, so maybe nobody is safe.
Also, they're protecting what they value most. The stock price, stockholders.
Not the souls on board their airplanes
They'll address it when the inevitable deathly disasters can not be ignored
And beg for a bailout, again
But the general safety of the public should be a bright red line that they should not cross.
Trump and Musk see all bar a select few as a waste, an abuse, or a fraud on the public purse.
Trump, Musk, and hangers on, really are the stupidest people.
FUCK REPUBLICANS
-incompetent/inept/shambolic?
-lazy?
-intentionally trying to kill ppl?
-drunk on imagined power?
-all of these?
Republican Congress, have you fully abdicated your responsibility and betrayed your oath or are you in there somewhere? Hello?!

Seriously I don’t understand how the airlines and Wall Street aren’t revolting ..
Who tf wants to fly trumps deadly skies!
Does anyone understand why? Beyond the psychopathology of the PINO?
How do MAGAs square this with being American? Why do they want to see those ‘others’ suffer enough to screw themselves?
Are they really this spiteful, lazy and gullible?
👿☠️
Musk has no idea what our agencies & workers do - and he doesn't care; he's going for numbers (that they lie about) to throw out to justify the carnage
