Privatize Air Traffic Control, You Say?
With Trump wanting to privatize Air Traffic Control, I can only remember his business success with airlines.
Well, I guess it makes sense because we did privatize the presidency of the United States and some guy is making big bucks off of it.
Trump bought the route rights for the Eastern Shuttle. He didn’t have a clue what it takes to operate shuttle service
1Privatize is what dirty rotten snacilbupeR Congress varmints do. Profiteering is the goal of Dolt45 and his team of deplorable.
Air Traffic Control is so simple that I’d be happy to provide Jared and Ivanka with minimal instruction. Then the next time Donnie flies, they can guide the bird through Dee Cee air traffic and plant it on a runway.
2The more d-bagTrump privatizes and pushes for the state and local governments to deal with various issues, means he & his cabal get to pocket more of our federal tax money. It’s not as if he plans on disbursing federal tax dollars to help the states deal with the issues the federal government should be dealing with; nor is he planning on lowering the tax rate for the majority of us, just for the 1%.
3Sure, do we know any Russian businessmen who could handle that?
4And then while we’re at it, privatize TSA too. Call it the Transportation Security Administration Regulators; TSAR.
House Transportation Chairman Bill Shuster’s girlfriend is a lobbyist who will benefit from the privatization.
5Great news (not.) I have tickets for London in July for the international Alzheimer’s disease research conference, where I’m scheduled to speak. I’m no more worried about my safety in London than in, say, St. Louis or Baltimore (other scheduled trips in July). Air travel under Trump supervision though? Gaaahhhhhh. I can only hope that his usual flagrant incompetence will prevent any changes from actually taking place until he’s thrown ignominiously out of office.
6Chloe Bear and Laurel Beckett, fear not. Elaine Chao is Secretary of Transportation. While her husband Mitch is probably sufficiently st00pid to fly the crazy skies of Donnie, Inc. She isn’t.
And, even if she were that st00pid/greedy, imagine the push back from airlines, frequent fliers and the Pentagon. Oh yeah, bring on bean counting rank amateurs to run the air picture. “United flight to Denver, y’all might want to steer around that live military missile exercise.”
Sorry about Bill Shuster’s girlfriend, but I’d be happy to throw her on board with Donnie for Ivanka and Jared’s first day at the controls.
7Don’t get me started down that road. I was one of the air traffic controllers that Reagan fired before I went to law school. I’m still not what I want to do when I grow up
8His loss was on a shuttle service that always ran full and profitable. He had to change it in to some kind of 1st class upscale fantasy. More evidence of how stupid he is.
9This clown went bankrupt owning most of the casinos in one location.
10turning government over to enterprise is merely an effort to perform an end run around the Federal Constitution.
I can understand why the S in Chief does not remember when Reagan did pretty much the same thing when he de-unionized the air traffic regulators. The S in Chief does not hold Saint Reagan in the same memory as others of his party, so there! But I do remember replacements being dragged in from the military and on duty until that kerfuffle was resolved. I am pretty much through with flying. It is no longer the experience I once bragged about to my land-locked friends. And Paul, I definitely feel your pain!
