Can't wait to fly next month, I expect to just be shoved headfirst into a Cybertruck trunk and then trebucheted about 1000 yards into a ravine, where everything explodes
Thoughts and prayers to anyone getting on a plane in the U.S. right now.

Love that our news-monitoring anxiety options are:
a) take little sips of poison all day long, try to shake it off between doses
b) wait to chug a gallon of the stuff until end of day or in the morning
c) ignore it entirely and be surprised when Trump-branded tanks roll down your street oh no

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.
