“I’ve spoken with 60 air traffic controllers tonight about what Sean Duffy said at the White House today,” said one journalist. “None of them are buying what he said.”
Air traffic controllers are rejecting US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s explanation for Friday’s nationwide flight ground stop, raising questions about the Trump administration’s account of a communications failure that disrupted air travel across the United States, affecting an estimated 1.5 million travelers.
Washington Examiner homeland security reporter Anna Giaritelli told CNN’s Laura Coates during a Friday night interview that she’d spoken with 60 air traffic controllers about the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ground stop, which was just the third to ever occur.
“None of them are buying what he said,” Giaritelli said. “The controllers were saying, ‘We don’t buy that this is actually what’s happening, the reason that Sean Duffy is saying this has happened.’”
Nonsense. There is such a thing as good government. Conservatives don’t even believe it is a thing, and it’s become common currency to badmouth all of government, but I reject that kind of nihilism.
As the author of Blockers as pointed out, sure, people like to say they don’t trust government, but by their actions, they prove that they actually do trust government when they expect that the food has been inspected, that their water meets regulations, that airplanes have a great safety track record, that cars have to meet standards, and so on…
I didn’t say there’s no such thing as good government. I don’t believe I weight in on the topic. I said we moved from howling fascist gigapedos to cryptofascist sex pests in charge of ours.
in the future please relate whatever you’re saying in reply to my comment to some shit I said please.
