  • Amusing that his Twitter avatar looks like a black hole, considering that’s where his abject incompetence is sucking the national infrastructure (and all of us) into.

    On this latest debacle: Great idea Musk! Fire a bunch of people from an already stressed-out agency, then watch as a string of accidents happen, and then publication beg for retired controllers to come back.

    Pushing tin is an incredibly stressful and intense job. Those who retired are probably a) no longer capable of dealing with that stress, and/or b) don’t want to deal with it and deserve a well-earned retirement.

    But hey, maybe with all the bullshit stripping away of social security, Medicare, etc etc, they will be forced to come out of retirement to help. I’m sure that’s not a recipe for disaster!

    For fuck’s sake, we live in the stupidest timeline, I swear. And we can’t even fully enjoy Musk ruining his ill-deserved legacy and humiliating himself, because all of us are the collateral damage.







  • Yup. He has a legion of frat bros who follow him like he’s the Messiah. I suspect Lebryk was nearing retirement anyway, and he understandably just thought “fuck this shit, I’m out!”, before Elon Xitler started spewing hateful memes to his cult about him.

    Can’t blame him at all. I hope he has a long and peaceful retirement, because it sounds like he deserves it.

    But this is just one example in a deluge of other departures that is going to really fuck up the daily operation of this country. If you ‘drain the swamp’ too hard it’ll turn into a hellish desert. And that’s exactly what Musk and others coming in want. They want to bless everything dry and reform it in their own stupid, shitty image.

    The one thing standing between us and that complete shitshow are the federal employees who have the passion, stubbornness, and resources to quietly resist. Regardless of whether they succeed or fail, I cannot express my gratitude for them enough.
