Summary
Elon Musk called on retired air traffic controllers to return to work, citing a shortage amid heightened scrutiny of the FAA under Trump’s second term.
With DOT Secretary Sean Duffy’s support, Musk’s DOGE attempts to “upgrade” aviation systems despite recent FAA job cuts.
The AP reports fired employees included radar and navigational aid maintenance personnel, though Duffy insisted no “critical safety personnel” were terminated.
Musk’s appeal comes amid increased public concern over recent aviation incidents, though experts consider the uptick an anomaly.
Nobody is gonna need to tap fort Knox, empty or not, to scrounge together 10 years salary worth of gold.
That would be under 10 bars of gold for some of the highest salaried doctors and lawyers out there.
It would be less than 1 bar of gold for anyone making less than $114K/yr over 10 years, as of right now.
This is all to remind anyone reading this that your life’s worth is like 1-20 gold bars.
