Transportation Secretary Is Playing Literal Games With Air Safety (newrepublic.com)

Secretary Sean Duffy has a new plan to hire air traffic controllers.

Think about that next time you board a plane. Your parents. Your kids. Your friends. All trusting strangers to get it right. This isn’t innovation…it’s recklessness. Stop turning air safety into a recruitment gimmick. #USDemocracy #RisingBlue newrepublic.com/post/214135/... via @newrepublic.com

Remember, kids. Republicans do not care about your life. They care about your money.💰

Sooo will there be a minimum age on this? Like 13 or 14? Ridiculous. 🙄

They literally break every agency to privatize it, give it to a donor

Another GROSSLY INCOMPETENT CABINET MEMBER in a LONG LINE of INCOMPETENTS. Much like HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES…this clown can get us KILLED with a SINGLE WRONG CHOICE. Hang in there EVERYONE…hopefully “some” things will change come January…if DEMS CAN EFFICIENTLY REMOVE THEIR HEADS from their ASSES

I’m not flying during this wack-a-doodle administration. I’ll wait for sane people to run transportation.

I will not travel by plane until we get rid of this Nazi regime and get competent people in these positions. Not just the washed up Fox News hosts the fat diapered Nazi in the oval selected. Fuck them all to hell!
I used to play with wind up balsa planes a lot, do I qualify? SMH

They won't get someone qualified until something horrible happens.

He's a clueless twit way above his head exactly like Hegseth. Both deal in death, one way or the other.

Yes you’re so right Robert about both of them!

Unfortunately, way way too many people have been/are going to suffer horribly & worse due to the utter ignorance, idiocy & incompetence of Duffy, HagueSeth & their PedoFelon…as well as the Senate/House repugnants who support this failed reality shit show.

Yes I agree it will likely become much worse. Very sad what’s happening ! 😔

Nothing like having a bunch of Donkey Kong players keeping the flights secure

Who would want to take a job with the federal government while the trump cult (republicans) is in charge?

video gamers as air traffic controllers. Wonder how many collisions before THIS gets canned

So dangerous for people traveling now…not knowing if these air traffic controllers are even qualified!

Reason #4238 why I will never ever again get on a flying death tube. It's just not worth it and for intercontinental transportation, busses and trains are 100x cleaner and just nicer.

If there was any other administration, FBI & DOJ in place Duffy would have been in jail by now with Hegseth, Musk & Trump 👇
