Move fast and break things: air traffic controller trainee edition

There needs to be a nationwide, unionized air traffic controller “consultant” business formed for when the shit hits the fan. Pay these people what they deserve to fix the disasters that will be caused by their ill treatment.

The Heritage Foundation may have planned this governmental takeover better than the techbros. Where they conflict, the Heritage Foundation will likely win.

Odd to side with one fascist organization over another. They both are traitorous, evil burdens on humanity. Placing their profit margins above stability.

That’s what they don’t get. Integrity and morality provide stability to a civilization. Minor deviations can be absorbed, but throwing away any semblance of basic decency and goodness destroys the foundation of civilization.

The factory jobs that existed in post-war America would be a vast improvement over the current service economy, but those jobs don’t exist anymore. Union jobs with high pay, benefits, retirement after 20 years, etc. Those are not the factory jobs they’re looking to create.

Factories are mostly automated now anyway. Rebuilding US manufacturing will not only take years but it will be done in a way that minimizes the actual jobs created. They’ll also still have to compete with factories all over the world where the currency is worth much less and the global price of the end product reflects that.

Post-war America had a strong domestic market and middle class that could afford to buy all the things American manufacturing built. Americans are now buying groceries on layaway and waiting for the sickness or car trouble or new Trump policy that makes them homeless.

at least $880 billion in cuts largely to Medicaid to help cover the cost of $4.5 trillion in tax breaks.

Don’t forget the purpose. They’re not cutting spending to “balance the budget.” It’s to pay for a fraction of the tax cuts they’re giving to the parasite class.

She had an Einstein visa, so the nude pictures count as art. Any accompanying prostitution would be considered performance art.

The derivatives market is leaning heavily on paused student loans when 2/3 of Americans are using layaway plans to buy groceries? And inflation is about to skyrocket again because of the tariff chaos?

Does the derivatives market deliberately choose bad long-term investments and plan on crashing? That would explain a lot.

Bernie not being the candidate in 2016 was the first problem. It compounded after that.

IIRC, Biden was fourth in the primary when Obama told the other establishment candidates to drop out and rally behind Biden because it looked like Bernie might win.

There’s footage of Buttigieg telling the press that he’s redirecting his plane to go concede on the way to a primary he had a chance of winning. Again, IIRC Warren stayed in the race to split the progressive vote.

The Democratic Party being bought out by a slightly less offensive class of billionaires for decades eroded their ability to understand anything approaching the lived experience of actual Americans.

The biggest joke is that their Silicon Valley billionaire supporters were the first in line not only to go full Nazi, but also to fix elections against them.

Immigrants are being loaded into planes and sent to gulags in El Salvador with zero due process even after courts order they be brought back. I’m not saying trans people aren’t being targeted, but I’m not aware of it happening at that level or something similar. If they are, please educate me.

Targeting immigrant rights are how they’re testing taking away everyone’s rights. Eventually, it will be anyone who disagrees with them. That’s how fascist takeovers work.

It looks like there were some negative comments in 2012 and basically nothing since. I hope Leo XIV continues Francis’s strides toward acceptance.

Leo XIV has been solidly pro-workers rights, anti-racism, critical of the Trump administration, and, perhaps most importantly, very supportive of immigrant rights. He is solidly progressive on the vast majority of issues.

We all know that the growing fascist movement will eventually target trans people and gay people for jailing and rendition without due process, but the people they’re actively doing that to right now are immigrants. Having a pope who is a strong ally for immigrant rights is a very good thing.

If this nightmare continues to play out the way the MAGA Nazis want it to, I don’t think a pope who actually cares about human beings and their basic rights would turn a blind eye to abuses to the LGBT community. Let’s all hope for the sake of everyone that it doesn’t come to that.

Trump, who was almost certainly unaware of the new pope’s criticisms of him and his immigration policies in the past, sent Leo XIV his well wishes after he was made the head of the Catholic Church.

Imagine having to be the staffer to explain to Trump that the “first ever” American pope that he’s hoping will somehow sign on to his sacrilegious Anti-Christ bullshit is actually going to be the ultimate nightmare for him to deal with.

Pope Francis on steroids. Pope Leo XIV has a record of being pro-workers’ rights. He was the exact right pick for pope to stem the rising fascist tide that’s trying to co-opt religion.

Wait until the facts come out and everyone realizes The Adjustor is still out there somewhere.

You know, the guy in the video that shot the CEO and had thin brown eyebrows that were far apart. The guy who disappeared without a trace leaving his backpack full of Monopoly money. The idea that someone that careful would buy a similar jacket and backpack and put a confession and the disposable murder weapon inside was always incredibly stupid. Luigi didn’t do it for real.

Zuckerberg surfs every morning right before he indulges in his complicated work algorithms, reports the New York Post. Now obviously being an IT giant comes with a casket full of responsibilities

Dressing up as a thicc Geosha Surfer every morning helps Zuck deal with his daily casket of problems.

Low energy honesty vs. bigliest due process president ever who gives all the due process unlike [nickname] [rival] who does no due process whatsoever.

He really has lost several steps.

You can be horrified by the lack of security and its implications, or you can rejoice in the rampant stupidity that will be on display when the leaks begin.

Emojis, ALL CAPS, general cluelessness, the JD Vance “I don’t know about this, but whatever” comments.

St. Upid’s three miracles were creating tariffs, eliminating tariffs, and begging China to relieve him of the consequences of his tariffs.

Changing CEOs to right the ship is what real companies do, and it can be effective. Tesla is a meme stock. It’s a hype machine designed to overpromise and underdeliver. Tesla is made of smoke and mirrors built around once-promising tech that was subverted for the interests of the VC parasite class.

Even if the board actually makes a move on Musk, they’re going to replace him with another money guy who cuts actual tech to pump up sales and marketing and drives more investing dollars into the black hole.

Granted, the next guy would almost certainly be better for the company than musk, given his mountain of bad press. But if Tesla actually wanted to make a real move, appoint an actual Tesla to run the company instead of another Edison.

Davies was contacted by seven men over seven days who had all been scammed or catfished by seven different fake accounts that were using her images. She wrote an Instagram post to warn others and a BBC journalist got in touch, leading to her first documentary When Nudes Are Stolen. This was life-changing. “It was the first time that I had sat down with campaigners and experts who laid all those images out and said that what happened to me wasn’t OK,” she says. “No one had ever said that before. No one had ever said: ‘It wasn’t your fault.’ It was such a moment for me. It lifted the weight off my shoulders.”

Good Lord, that’s depressing. When people take advantage of you, it’s not your fault. What is this world doing to people?

The threats of various US invasions being 100% senile blustering, coupled with an economic crisis and/or loss of freedom in the US to the point that people would need to flee the country rapidly, isn’t that far-fetched.

I really thought that 51st state of the US push at the end there would save conservatives. Everyone knows how badly Canadians want to lose their independence, culture, healthcare, etc.

Seriously though, the next government should probably start planning for the refugee camps it’ll need on the southern border in the coming years. Or maybe build a wall.
