@GottaLaff
Of course not...just like there might not be an effective NTSB to sort out the messy DC mid air collision.A lot of investigators are not white males.
@GottaLaff I am ignorant on this so please help me understand, but isn't TSA also important for air safety?
Trump fired the head of TSA.
@SnowshadowII Not really. TSA is responsible for making passengers feel safe after the WTC hijackings, but it doesn't do anything that actually aids security; it only does security theatre.
@riley @SnowshadowII @GottaLaff
Kabuki security.
@GottaLaff this administration is unprepared for even the most mild of disasters. This is why you can't run government the way Elmo and Donald run their lives.
@GottaLaff What did Darth Melon have against the FAA director?
@riley @GottaLaff i fI'm not mistaken, the FAA has oversight over space launches as well, and the respective investigations after accidents
Remember that Starship unplanned dissassembly last week that rained giant steel dildo debris over the Atlantic?
That caused real air traffic screwups while flights transiting the area had to deviate or hold. Which.. I mean clearly the right people followed procedure and no planes got hit by debris, but normally the FAA would be raking a launch organization over the coals for an in-depth investigation and remedial actions (generally having launch debris showers is bad)
@riley @GottaLaff I think they refused to censor the dude that runs the tracking elons musks jet bot that posts his plane’s activities
@Brahn FAA doesn't even have such power.
Sean Duffy. Trump will trot out one gutless incompetent motherfucker after another to shield himself from accountability. He only cares what this looks like.
As with COVID, Trump only cares about getting butts back in airline seats. As a predatory sociopath, the bodies in the Potomac are just flotsam and jetsam that get in the way of his big boat.
I was looking for info on this. This article looks reliable
@GottaLaff But nothing bad will happen, will it?
@GottaLaff this is not how to run a country.
@Lazarou Gee, ya think?
@GottaLaff just amazes me that my Government will look at all this mess and go "yes, we'll sell out the nation to that mess, it'll be fine"
@Lazarou Yep. Me too
@Lazarou But it is pretty much how Elon runs X.
Wow Donny is certainly an agent of chaos
@tabernac That can’t have been an epiphany, lol.
Yes, he always has been. It’s his M.O.
@tabernac he’s not though… he just has full rein now, because he surrounded himself with sycophants. He’s always been this bad. Always.
@tabernac Right??
@GottaLaff after watching the crash footage from several locations I only have one question.
who was on the passenger manifest for the jet?
@GreenKnight23 Interestingly, from what I've read, several Russians. An American ice skating team, their coaches and family members. Some of the coaches were Russian nationals apparently.
@GottaLaff Wait, the SAME FAA that was investigating the SpaceX explosion?
