Insiders say the cuts are “dangerous” and “unconscionable” after recent air disasters.

Summary

Trump is firing hundreds of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) employees despite recent fatal air crashes, CNN reports.

The AFL-CIO says terminations were issued Friday, with affected staff possibly locked out of FAA facilities after Monday.

Aviation safety union PASS calls the cuts “dangerous,” especially after four deadly incidents in the past month.

Critics argue these moves risk public safety amid ongoing air traffic controller shortages.

    Nope. Took Hitler 53 days. Let’s circle back on that statement in a few weeks and see if the government is still here or not.

      But Trump has shown time and again that he is completely incompetent compared to Hitler!
      But maybe he has better help, so we can’t even rely on his incompetence anymore? 😬

        What he has this time is no “adults in the room” to act as guardrails. He’s surrounded himself with sycophants and yes-men, so there’s nobody to stop him from flailing randomly and breaking shit.
