I’m legitimately stunned how many people think there are vacant buses/drivers and planes/crews just sitting around waiting for an entire football team to use them on a moment’s notice. It’s a miracle only 1 game was impacted given the crisis.

I’m just saying, maybe direct your ire at the Road Rules flunky in charge of aviation and not at the lack of infinity bus companies in Northern Mississippi. 🤷‍♀️

What if putting reality television actors in charge of the federal government was a mistake?

I wonder what would happen if you put the stupidest people on earth who all hate science in charge of a highly technological society

As someone who runs a transportation company, the number of people who have asked this has helped me understand why my job is sooooo painful
Honest question… Why didn’t Ole Miss hop on a bus like 5 hours ago?

PSA that’s apparently needed: Ole Miss can’t unilaterally change a game time in Norman. The SEC made the call. If Ole Miss didn’t have a tangible issue, the league would have told the Rebels to kick rocks. Now back to your pandering. It does suck for OU but not UM’s fault.

Yall what? So tired of these people my gosh
So let me get this straight. An A.I. startup gave to Sean Duffy’s son in law’s campaign for congress. Then Sean Duffy and the FAA gave that same company a 12 year, $875M contract for their A.I. air traffic control system. That same traffic system went live nationwide Nov. 10. Three days later, the FAA had to ground all flights because the system failed. Ok. Lock em all up.

How about we take $50 BILLION from DHS and ICE and put it toward rebuilding America? Instead of terrorizing communities, dragging people from their homes, and killing Americans in our streets, let’s rebuild our crumbling infrastructure and create GOOD PAYING AMERICAN UNION JOBS. For WORKERS. Not AI.

DUFFY: How many times does this have to happen before congress gives the money to fix it? R: You’ve been in office almost two years now, Republicans controlled both chambers of congress and still do. DUFFY: What your network are you from?

No one’s hands are clean here. However, Mr. Secretary Buttigieg, you had four years in the job and infrastructure money, yet made zero progress modernizing the FAA. You left a failing system in place. THANKS!

So let me get this straight. Paying 20% of your paycheck for health insurance is good, but paying 5% of your paycheck for universal healthcare would be bad? Do I have that right?

Don’t worry, the guy from Road Rules has this handled
The @FAAnews issued a nationwide ground stop for all U.S. airports following a communication issue impacting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers. FAA technicians are investigating the issue. We will provide immediate updates as we have them.

Sorry what
Let me tell you what just got reported, because you will not believe it until you see it laid out. The Trump administration cut a billion-dollar tungsten deal with Kazakhstan. Tungsten is the metal we need for missile warheads, fighter jets, and computer chips. Trump himself got on the phone to close it. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick worked it from the inside, sending letters, leaning on the Kazakh president, lining up as much as $1.6 billion in federal financing. Within weeks of those negotiations, investors tied to a firm partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump took a 20% stake in an entity connected to the very same Kazakhstan project their father was negotiating. Around that same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Lutnick’s own sons, raised $210 million for a partner in the deal and pocketed the fees. The fathers set the policy. The sons cashed in. Six days after the Trump sons and their partners moved their money, Lutnick signed the final deal. The reporting found one or both families have financial ties to at least 14 companies working with the government on critical mining deals. The total federal funding flowing toward those companies tops $8.9 billion. This is your tax money. It is supposed to secure our supply chains and protect our troops, not pad the portfolios of the President’s children and the Commerce Secretary’s children. This is the most corrupt administration in American history. It is not close. We must keep digging, and keep asking the questions they do not want asked. Republicans in Congress are unwilling to lift a finger. Mike Johnson is running a protection racket. Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us. google.com/url?q=https://www…

I’m not worried about El-Sayed using the Quran to take his oath of office. I’m worried about Christians using the Bible to take away the rights of their neighbors.
