Seriously, travelling to the US is not a great idea right now.
I cannot, in good conscience, recommend people visit the United States under the current regime. It's not safe.

I think this is correct.
Everyone involved in aviation KNOWS FOR SURE that reckless/ rampant changes of past six weeks will, *for sure,* make airplane crashes more likely.
But no airline exec wants to be the first to say this in public.

In boardrooms around the world, airline executives are discussing what will be more harmful to their share prices: sounding the alarm on this, or the inevitable plane crashes
Corrupt? Sure.
But also directly dangerous? And how!
FAA has done careful, long testing /study of new tower-communication system. Now a rush to switch to system that *just happens* to be owned by Mr. Efficiency himself, Elon. (Has he even been to an ATC facility? Probably like Vance re Ukraine)

So @Grubhub will not refund any charges no matter how badly they screw up your order. My food was left on the ground outside the wrong address an hour after the ETA and their best way to ‘make it right’ was a credit for less than I paid that expired after 30 days. Never again!

North Carolina Supreme Court Blocked Certification of a Justice’s Win. Activists Fear It’s “Dangerous for Democracy.”
The move gives the court time to consider a challenge by Republican Jefferson Griffin, who has cited debunked legal theories in his previous failed attempts to block Justice Allison Riggs’ reelection.
