“severe intellectual disabilities, psychiatric problems, or other mental or physical conditions”
I thought he was talking about his supporters.
Himself
…or understaffed air traffic control where controllers have to do 2 jobs at once. Then you have a helicopter pilot who was not following ATC instructions.
Nepotism(hiring unqualified friends and family) is far more rampant and way more destructive than DEI policies ever could be. DEI policies may help unqualified people gain low level positions, but with nepotism it’s usually high level positions.
He’s talking about himself, isn’t Trump?
Yeah, refuting an argument by saying “other stuff is at fault” is the work of a true well educated and informed intellectual.
And definitely not the sign of a massive narcissist.
As an autistic person (and no, we don’t throw Nazi Salutes as stimming…) I honest to fucking god am so numbed by this guy’s bullshit that it is kinda incredible.
All I could think of is how the mentally disabled were the first victims of the holocaust in WW2. Starting in 1939 around the time of the invasion of Poland.
The accident is 100% on Elon Musk and Trump. They fired the FAA safety officials and never replaced them, in addition to cutting massive amounts of funding and personnel that made an accident like this inevitable.
Fuck him. Fuck him HARD.
I just want to point out that
Trump announced sweeping personnel changes, including a hiring freeze. But aviation experts said Trump had done little that could have precipitated the crash between a commercial jet from Wichita, Kansas, and a military Black Hawk helicopter. There was simply too little time – less than 10 days after Trump was sworn in – for any of his broadly worded executive orders to have had an effect, experts said.
He is still an asshole, but the firing had, apparently, as much to do with the crash as DAI programms: nothing at all.
For those keeping score, in his journey to fuhrer, you can mark this spot on your “classification of people Trump will put in camps” bingo card.
The fucknut Orange Nero described himself.
History is unkind to Nero, who was really not that bad in comparison to a shitload of emperors that came before and since. I’m not saying Nero was good, I’m saying his reputation of being one of the worst isn’t even close. I hope history is as unkind to Trump.
Yes, and he is the one at fault.
Yup that is how this presidency will be explained. America had the potential to be the greatest country in the world, but it just always remains out of reach, and that fucker you have in charge will irreparable do even more damage.
I feel sorry for what you (not you in particular) voted for (or what was stolen by the tech bros).
Hope you make it through this.
Blaming yourself won’t help the families, Don.
And yet one of them is in the White House running things
Ah, right, of course the FAA is plopping unqualified people down in air traffic controller chairs to fulfill diversity goals, just like fits with Don’s delusions. Except that isn’t happening, ATC’s have to undergo a rigorous physical and mental health check. There are plenty of other jobs in the FAA that this policy applies to.
Timeline:
Jan 20 - Federal Aviation Administration Director fired.
Jan. 21 - Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen
Jan. 22 - Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded
Jan. 28 - Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees
Jan. 29 - first American mid-air collision in 16 years
By golly, Trump is actually correct. Someone with severe intellectual disabilities did fuck us over.
He’s still bitter over PATCO, 1981
It’s mind boggling anyone would even try to dismantle the FAA- they’re one of the most boring organizations out there and their #1 concern is safety. There’s even tons of money to be made while worrying about safety, so it is so odd to do this. Trying to reduce air traffic controllers is an insane idea in general- without them everyone’s flying blind. It’s gonna take decades to figure out all the damage this moron has done just like with Reagan
- Drastically reduce their budget
- Fire the most experienced people
- Watch it all go to hell. More accidents and close calls.
- Blame gov workers and democrats
- ???
- Profit!
And it’s one of the most useful government offices if you’re a billionaire who travels by plane everywhere. Plebs who have to drive everywhere are a lot less affected by overworked, overstressed, underpaid ATCs than guys like him.
Well thanks to the ElonJet guy they know where all the important planes are… Who needs flight control when you have xcom /s
that’s a coinidence, guess what I’m going to blame America’s impending economic crash on?
Probably Obama.
He must be talking about Elon
