No its a normal world. The US just elected criminals and fascists because the dog finally caught the car. They got what they wanted and people have to live with that. Everyone always wondered how the germans let the nazi’s win….
Well america, yall are setting up a concentration camp in a foreign country for a minority group and have people doing literal nazi salutes at the presidential inauguration.
They are also currently demonizing the disabled by blaming them for a tragedy even though it makes no sense.
Now I know there was a group that did some vile stuff to others based on their ethnicity, sexual orientation, and disabilities, but mentioning them gets me called an alarmist.
Trump is blaming DEI hirings for the plane crash, specifically mentioning those with disabilities (including people with dwarfism for...some reason?) .
When asked why he claims that, he answers it's because he has "common sense".
I liked the bit where he asserted that some of the workers who had been hired had 'severe intellectual disabilities'.
At a control tower? A highly specialised job that requires intense training, communication and focus? He expects us to believe that they're hiring the severely intellectually disabled?
Someone pointed out that they did start hiring people with intellectual disabilities to do janitorial work and other menial tasks, where no lives are at stake. Like how some grocery stores hire people with disabilities to bag groceries. Except, it’s a government job so it pays decent and has benefits.
Dementia Don probably heard someone talk about it at some point and the only part he remembers now is that they hired people with disabilities to do something. Then he made up something that fits his narrative to fill in the parts he didn’t remember.
Exactly my friend. DEI just means "give them any kind of work and the government will compensate you (barely) with a $2000 tax write off." Or something. That's Florida does for my employers, but I'm sure other states have far more rights than mine. But they will never hire someone unqualified to work a high risk job. That's just a silly attempt at scapegoating something that happened under Trump's administration.
To be an ATC is one of the most strict criteria of any job. As far as I know, it's the only civilian job that has an age limit, so that your mental acuity and neuroplasticity are intact enough to learn multitasking and focus on multiple objects moving at high speed in a confined airspace.
He expects 10s of millions of Americans, if not more, to believe it (they did), he expects all government employees to pretend to believe it based on the threats, firings, and funding cuts he’s carried out, and he expects most news agencies not to push back too hard given that he has successfully been suing news organizations who did not support him and because his oligarch friends own the social media sites and search engines that control the distribution of their content.
He’s not a dimwitted contrarian this time; he is the dimwitted head of what can only be called an extremely successful cabal of assholes.
I worked with an air traffic controller who changed careers and went into IT as a senior networking consultant and project manager. He is still by far and away the most capable , level headed , sharpest project manager I've worked with by a country mile. Incredible focus and ability to prioritize, plan and ask the right questions. Anyone making or believing these claims about air traffic controllers needs their own faculties checked.
Oh yes. The janitors gotta be super saiyans climbing up and down the walls cleaning every spec of dust available.- literally DEI just means opening more tech or janitorial positions.
Interestingly, my vocational rehabilitation programs caters to both us disabled folks AND to former felons because we're all in the same boat- we are at a disadvantage when it comes to hiring. Perhaps Trump will argue that the janitor on duty was a violent former felon and viciously attacked the ATC with his wet mop, thus blinding him temporarily and causing the crash.
In reality the black hawk was flying twice their altitude restriction (400 ft vs 200 ft) and near misses for this exact scenario have happened in the past. I suppose trump will complain the military is all DEI hire and based on the number of crayon eaters there, I wouldn't argue with him. (I joke)
I think they should really stress the altitude restriction prior to flight, they still have to do training there unfortunately, otherwise how else will they learn to operate in a crowded environment?
He fired a bunch of Faa people, president elongated muskrat and first lady donald bullied the head of FAA to resign, they have been hiring unqualified people to fill in cabinet positions, they say DEI and cry about it because they don't want to see anyone besides whites get good paying jobs
