If they can’t answer a simple yes or no question then they should be disqualified.

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?

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.
