And y'all laughed at me earlier when I said I wasn't brave enough to fly now. Not laughing now.

Does anyone honestly think any of this is going to get better? All the competent leaders are gone from the major government agencies that are supposed to protect Americans -- and that includes DOD.

We're still living our comfortable lives, but the misery is coming -- empty shelves, endless airport delays, more illness as this administration gets rid of regulations that keep our air, food and water clean, more businesses closing, more job losses. That's the tip of the iceberg.

And it's all manufactured! Never had to happen. A mentally ill felon and his drug-fueled sidekick are running the country with absolutely no pushback from the GOP.

Just take a leather-trimmed Suburban you A-holes.

They are such f-ing giant narcissists, they have to feel special and important all the time.

Why? They don't get fired for doing any of this. I guess they could die in a crash but they didn't really value human life anyways.

They’re now flying over CCDC. It’s so annoying. Why can’t the just drive?

“An air traffic controller warned Friday that Newark Liberty International Airport is unsafe for travelers due to staff shortages, according to MSNBC correspondent Tom Costello.

“He said, ‘It is not safe. It is not a safe situation right now for the flying public,’” Costello said of his conversation with the air traffic controller, which he described as, “Really an incredible statement, unsolicited. He just said that to me, and separately: ‘Don’t fly into Newark. Avoid Newark at all costs.’”

Flights to and from the busy airport just outside New York City have been plagued by delays, which the Federal Aviation Administration said are being caused by a shortage of air traffic controllers.”

Who was on the helicopter?

I will no longer fly out of Reagan.

WHY IS THIS STILL HAPPENING

Around 4,700 people put themselves forward for a second resignation offer, Politico reports, amounting to around nine percent of the agency’s total workforce. The vast majority of offers are said to come from employees at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which has caused further headaches for the department.”
