USA Politics

Don't worry, he'll just tariff physics until it agrees to not allow any airline crashes anymore.

In all seriousness, this showcases why cutting government is not really a good idea - American air traffic controllers are overworked and understaffed because they are federal employees, which means their numbers haven't gone up in 40 years even though there are way more planes in the sky. There was a staffing issue at the airport the night previous and well...this is what happens.

DEI encourages people to hire more broadly, increasing the pool of hires available. It is a solution to staffing issues, not a cause. But hey, Trump probably doesn't even know what the E stands for.

January 20: FAA director fired
January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring freeze
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

And then has the audacity to blame DEI while families are mourning.

I hate this man with every bone in my body.

Just you wait. Biden is somehow personally responsible for this.

Thanks Trump voters!
 
A president holding a PC hours after a tragic accident, already trying to blame different people before the NTSB has even had time to talk to the Air Traffic Controllers. But hey, this is what the majority of US voters wanted. Congratulations.

Blaming DEI ... does he know what it takes to work in ATC? If your only asset is belonging to a minority, you will not be able to pass the tests and complete the courses. It is quite possible that Trumpolini, projecting as always, thinks that ATC staff are hired based on who the employers like or that corruption is involved - rather than employing those who are qualified. But that says more about him than about US air traffic controllers.

I think it's a case of they've been told the helicopter pilots name and it's an ethnic minority, because I can't believe they'd have gone in as hard as they did blaming DEI and "incompetence" if it turns out the pilot's name was Chad Hogan or something.
