Summary
Days before the fatal mid-air collision near Washington, D.C., Donald Trump eliminated the membership of the Aviation Security Advisory Committee, a key aviation safety panel.
The committee, established after the 1988 PanAm Flight 103 bombing, had advised on air travel security but was left without members following Trump’s move.
The crash, involving an American Eagle jet and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter, left no survivors.
Critics question whether Trump’s decision weakened aviation oversight and potentially contributed to the tragedy.
This is just like how he gutted the pandemic early warning program, called PREDICT in China just before COVID hit.
This time we are even starting early, only not sure if it will be bird flu, ebola or turbeculosis.
I mean it is poetic that it happened immediately after he did that, and it’s definitely a stupid decision, but this almost certainly didn’t have anything to do with that decision. That’s an action whose consequences won’t start to materialize till much later on.
No one at all would he better than a nepbaby.
Too bad holodecks aren’t real. We could put him in one and let him fuck up a virtual world instead of the one we actually rely on.
We could take him up to space and blow him out of an air lock. That’s kind of like Star Trek.
Well that’s good news for Boeing commercial at least.
And because Poe /s.
