Summary
Trump is firing hundreds of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) employees despite recent fatal air crashes, CNN reports.
The AFL-CIO says terminations were issued Friday, with affected staff possibly locked out of FAA facilities after Monday.
Aviation safety union PASS calls the cuts “dangerous,” especially after four deadly incidents in the past month.
Critics argue these moves risk public safety amid ongoing air traffic controller shortages.
I’m not saying Trump or what he’s doing aren’t terrible.
But he had zero impact on the DC crash, and every time we blame something on him that isn’t his fault the Republicans will grasp onto that and say we’d blame him for water being wet.
Just so we are good, I was being rhetorical in my questions, not targeting them at you.
But also I think I am coming around to the GOP approach: who cares if it’s perfectly true when it is essentially true?
Because the honest truth is there’s a double-standard. When they lie it’s no big deal. When we get out of line even the smallest amount the right-wing media machines will run with it for YEARS.
