Lost baggage constant, filthy planes and airports,.....it's like the US has devolved into a 2nd world country and gives zero craps anymore about maintaining standards. Travel has just gotten so, sooooooo bad under Biden. And what does his transportation secretary Mayor Pete do? Nothing. Nada. Zilch. No pressure on ailrines ever even after they got tons of taxpayer dollars to stay alive. Consumers have almost no recourse and airlines screw up and do something like lose your baggage on a direct flight. Travel in the US and from th US using American airlines is just horrific experience and yet all Biden's hiree mayor Pete does is collect paychecks and do nothing. Biden hired him because he was a diversity hire, but the end results are a disastrous decline in the quality and standards for travel to and from the US.
I've now been on 3 flights domestically within the last 3 years. 2 lost baggage on a friggin direct flight, and the other had such significant delays that it ruined a lot of lodging plans and plans at the destination causing thousands in losses. Of course it has been impossible to obtain any kind of compensation because the airlines' mistakes caused major delays. I'm so done with Biden. We need a competent leader who'll hire the best candidates to do critical jobs like running this country's transportation infrastructure, not have a leader in office who throws a bone to diversity candidates who have no idea what they're doing.
And in your pea brain, Trump will hire competent people?
I have flown several times this year with zero issues.
Yes, because he already did - Ellen Chao - whose resume included (at the time of appointment:
1) US Secretary of Labor
2) Director of Peace Corps
3) Deputy Director of Transportation
4) Chair of the US Maritime Commission
5) Director of the US Maritime Commission.
Had Biden been smart, he would have begged her to stay, rather then hire an incompetent ex-mayor whose sole experience was as a failed mayor of a small midwestern town. Of course he has failed.
Elaine Chao resigned in disgust of Trump after Jan 6. Chalk her up as another competent person who will never work for Trump again.
Okay, then she likely was available and may have listened had Biden gone to her and asked her to take up the job.
But the point isn’t whether Chao would come back if Trump was re-elected. The point is the difference in general hiring practices. Trump searched and found a highly educated, highly qualified candidate with decades of high-level federal management experience generally within the subject field, including in high level positions within the same department she was tasked with leading, while Biden just chose some guy with very little relevant experience who happened to have run against him in the primary and checked a few boxes that made Biden look good. The point is not whether Trump will come in and immediately rehire Chao, it’s that I trust that Trump will find someone who at the very least meets the bare minimum qualifications for the job.
And not just at Transportation. There was that clip of one of Biden’s top economic advisors making it clear he had no idea what inflation even was, and then you look at the three individuals Trump had in that position. Biden’s hire had a masters degree from mediocre public universities and minors academic qualifications, while all three of Trump’s appointees had PHDs from Ivy League universities and decades of practical experience.
In short, Biden simply did not find qualified advisors. Trump did.
