This isn’t DEI—it’s deadly short staffing.
NEW: An FAA report says one air traffic controller was working two positions during the crash. “The position configuration was not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic.”

The buyouts email sent by OPM uses the same headline as what Elon Musk sent to Twitter employees when he took over the company — “Fork in the Road.” It also has a similar “click yes or no” form at the end of the email.
