Plane Crashes, silver lining

Look, Tp4 told ya'll these things were deathtraps since the beginning beginning.

It was at best barely going to work during _The Best of Times.

Now that capitalism has come crashing down, the Horse-mens are readily apparent.

Is there NE gud'news Tp ?


They're firing air traffic controllers, labor, inflation, government free for all.   The net outcome is, possibly, hopefully people would fly less, because it's clearly more dangerous.

Boeing had a hell of a time, pushing to regulate themselves, trying to get rid of the FAA, and look what happened, major labor disputes, assassinated whistleblowers, quality problems, Planes blow up, Grounding. etc etc.


It'd be kinda silly to get into one of these metal tube climate destroyers any time soon.


LESS flying = Reduced climate impact. /Silver lining.   Puts on airlines. Look at Hathaway, they bailed even though eating huge losses from the beginning.

Where is the outrage for Trump directly causing these disasters and murdering 100s of innocent people. I don't understand why people are not raging in the streets over his decisions to cut federal aviation employees and traffic controllers literally killing their families and friends. Is anyone mad? Am I going crazy?

Tragically, all too true.

Why else would millions of American voters propel MAGA supporters into positions of power?
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."
