Donald J. Trump (For everyone else)
I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?
So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at
I'm pointing out that 2 images were posted with no comment and if you read what it says there's nothing on its face that is problematic.
It's only a problem if you believe that employees means controllers.
And I don't know why some ATCs were fired as you additionally state, but surely air traffic is safer if low quality, ineffective controllers are fired. Even if that makes for a lack of controllers and increases delays, I'd rather be delayed at an airport than have 2 airplanes smash into each other.
Musk company breaks ****, Musk company then recommends Musk company be brought in to fix it...

Shocked, I am. Shocked.

seems like there's some conflict, but gotta at least think Starlink is an upgrade over Verizon.
The FAA is on the verge of canceling Verizon’s bloated $2.4 billion contract and handing it to Starlink—a move that would bring faster, safer, and more reliable air traffic control services.
And guess who’s furious? The establishment. They’re shrieking about “conflicts of interest” because Trump and Elon are putting efficiency over corruption.
Verizon’s system? Outdated and expensive. Starlink? Faster, cheaper, and proven. SpaceX engineers are already fixing the FAA’s mess.
The real “conflict of interest” is how the old system still exists. The same grifters who let U.S. infrastructure rot now cry foul when someone actually fixes it.
Elon is right: Verizon is putting air travelers at risk. And Washington just hates that they’re losing control.
It's so terrible, the US government will be getting a better service for the same money or less, what will happen next? that we do the same to everything and everyone is better off except the leeches which profited from the previous set of arrangements ?
How is democracy going to survive if honest to god leftists can't just guarantee contracts to their friends no matter the quality of the service? how is democracy going to survive if leftists can't be hired to occupy public jobs without delivering and using their positions only to push leftist propaganda?
Definitely looks like some of the rich are no longer content with shearing the sheep, they are now skinning the sheep
America. You poor bastards.
I can't believe the dumbasses complaining about Musk getting gov't contracts when he's literally the biggest reason space exploration is advancing after so many years of NASA stagnation. The dude has rockets that land backwards. If anyone deserves contracts it's him.
It's incredibly naive to think Musk cares about money. He's an autistic rocket scientist workaholic. The guy couldn't NOT be a billionaire.
lol at thinking he's a rocket scientist. He's not even a scientist.
edit - in b4 "I meant he plays with rockets obviously don't take me literally ever"
Tell that to the royal society who made him a fellow.
One of the most important group of scientista worldwide decided Musk contributions to human knowledge were substantial: not only a scientist, rather one of the most important contributors to science worldwide in the last decades.
At least, according to them.
But ofc you "know better"
Elon was so funny when he said yesterday that they accidentally fired the entire Ebola prevention team... opps, that silly guy. Don't worry... they re-hired most of them once they figured out what they did.
I had my first near midair collision last week flying domestically into Phoenix. I'm not even sure how close we got, but we had to climb rapidly and turn at some bad angles, and I could see the jet stream of the other plane in my window. Never had anything like this before, where the pilot had
Well, that makes me feel good. I’m writing this from the airport, waiting to get on a flight to Phoenix.

Id be happy to tell anyone that thinks he's a rocket scientist that he obviously is not. Thank you for the suggestion.

I think his contributions to science have been significant. Doesn't make him a scientist
Not like you give a **** about science when it disagrees with your opinions
Anyways, they also elected Anthony Fauci. Does that make them incompetent in your opinion?
"The Royal Society is a self-governing Fellowship made up of many of the world's most eminent scientists, engineers, and technologists."
I'd accept technologist, but scientist is lolable.
I wonder if the FAA employees got fired by Elon comeback to work, are they starting at the bottom has new employees ot they are rehired at the benefit they were before they get fired lol…
That is actually pretty funny news if true .

Incompetent? Fauci was a true expert.
Which doesn't mean that he can't also be a monstrously evil person.
Did you ever read from me that Fauci had "no clue" on the topics he discussed? That he was ignorant?
Funny anyone blame democrats for monetizing government but when it’s trump
Or musk , no problem it’s for the « grater good » and more efficient …
But when u say , universal healthcare is for the greater good , no no that’s bad and then u look at trump nominees and how doge seem to screwing this efficiency principle non stop .
Talk about efficiency ..

Did you read the Philip Low take down of Elon and what his real goals are?

I'm fairly certain you've called for him to be jailed passionately. It wouldn't surprise me if you claimed he should be executed for war crimes or similar
Malice or incompetence, whats the difference really?
I see reports that there are 250k applicants waiting in line for EB-5 Visas right now. I'm not saying that every single one of those people will pony up the $5 million to skip all the hassle that is involved in EB-5 approval, but it's probably going to be a sizeable chunk.
This US Gold Card is primed to extract hundreds of billions of dollars out of foreign pockets on day one. A scam, perhaps, but all that money will probably be green enough to be put to work in paying down our debt.

Everything ?
Fauci funded gain of function research in the Wuhan lab. He then lied about it (under oath) in congress. That alone would be more than enough to send him away for good.
Nothing to do with his skillset, his knowledge of infectious diseases and so on. Fauci is a monster , and has been for many decades. He was a monster with AIDS as well, one of the people who destroyed social life for heterosexuals because they decided to hide the fact that homosexuals were more than 100x likely to get AIDS , so the "public communication campaign" had to pretend everyone was at serious risk of getting it.
He did that on purpose, voluntarily, not because of ignorance. He lied a lot during covid as well about very important details of transmissions and so on.
But the gain of fuction thing was very specific, and he should have been jailed for it yes.
But again, this has nothing to do with his knowledge of the topics he dwelt in
Isn't it just a normal sort of investment for visa/citizenship path deal?
They aren't actually paying 5 million but rather investing it
