Timeline of crash

January 20: FAA director fired

January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen

January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded

January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees

January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years

January 30: Whitehouse addresses the nation. Donald Trump blames DEI, Joe Biden, and Barack Obama for the tragic accident.

Pete Buttigieg: "Despicable. As families grieve, Trump should be leading, not lying. We put safety first, drove down close calls, grew Air Traffic Control, and had zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights on our watch. 

President Trump now oversees the military and the FAA. One of his first acts was to fire and suspend some of the key personnel who helped keep our skies safe. Time for the President to show actual leadership and explain what he will do to prevent this from happening again.”

I’ve been thinking that everyone has two people inside them. One is liberal and one is conservative. What our politics is the one we let out. If you let out the liberal, the caring, then you want to try and do things with the government. If you let the conservative out, you don’t want government, you see it’s influence as negative. 

Libertarians can say they’re liberal, like Chomsky, but it’s a fundamental move to hate government from a conservative perspective. 

You can be a liberal and see unintended consequences of government, and missteps. 

You can be a conservative and want roads and garbage taken away, collectively, for the general good.

We are large, we contain the multitudes.

I think about how upset I am during this time, and I’m going to imagine conservatives who feel that way even though we’ve only had centrist democrats. I think Clinton was a DINO. We need left leaning people infiltrate the republicans and then switch sides when they get in office, like the Republicans are doing.

I think things in politics used to be about limiting action versus greater action, but the current regime is all about putting on an elaborate song and dance for the revival and snake oil. America has become a parody of itself.
