Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps.
Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems.
See how this works?

If a Democrat fired 100 FAA employees and put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers 8 days before an airport plane crash, there would be a right-wing and media frenzy for weeks.

i think the executive orders directing agencies to end energy efficiency regulations and open up more land to drilling and mining is so indicative of the character of the american right — in its view everything, whether people or our larger environment, is something to be exploited and dominated

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Donald Trump wants to buy TikTok with government funds which means that will literally be State run media. We are careening into fascism. This is exactly what Russia and China do where content criticizing him will be hidden and right wing propaganda will flourish. Stop rejoicing and wake the fuck up

Someone needs to come up with an actual TikTok replacement because Donald’s joint venture State run media is going to literally be fascist propaganda.
Y’all better wake the fuck up before you start celebrating that “tiktok is coming back”. Nope. Not even close

So everyone knows that Netanyahu is waiting to complete the ceasefire deal to happen right before Trump is in office to make it look like Trump did it, right??
Obviously would’ve been done months ago but they didn’t want to give Biden a win.
Watch the pathetic media fall in line. Just watch.
