At Costco, if you're lucky, you may get 2 dozen eggs for about $11. Don't fret if eggs are out of stock. You can get 2 delicious rotisserie chickens for $9.98. 😆 🤣 😂

All Five Eyes partners need to presume that ALL US government IT systems are now insecure.
Similarly the EU need to treat any data interchange agreements with the US as null and void.
This includes cloud hosting on Azure, AWS and Google (not that anyone uses Google Cloud ;)

To recap, Trump:
-Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence
-Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers
-Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee
-Blamed the DCA crash on DEI
This is disastrous leadership.
