    Possible but probably not. ATC have been understaffed and overworked for years and this is the inevitable result.

    Combine that with a military that has historically always done whatever the fuck it… err, support the troops and thank you for your service. Can I have my salmon tossed under the broiler please?

    But yeah. This is less a consequence of trump and more a consequence of our fundamentally broken culture and government that predates him.

        Literally impossible for this to result in that crash

        I know we want to associate everything bad with the new admin but this was just regular old american calpitalist incompetence

        I’mma let you in on a secret:

        The CEO doesn’t do shit. ANYWHERE.

        This is going to have very big ramifications even medium term. But the work culture and lack of personnel were already a major problem long before… last week. At most, trump accelerated this.

        Now, the horrific response to this is all fuckface.

        As an aside: it is REALLY obnoxious to post two giant images as a reply.
