I'm here for all the firings. The government is bloated and ineffectual anyway. May as well stop paying for it. It's ugly, but finally someone is holding the line vs the insane out-of-control dem spending that has been unaccountable (literally) for years.

Idk if you understand the significance of the 🤌...

Bought some toys to make range day a lot more fun: https://ar500targetsolutions.com/product/12x20-ar550-reactive-hostage-target-system-1-2/ And this fancy bit of kit: https://shootingtargets7.com/products/dueling-tree-target I'll report back in a couple weeks with the review

Bro I have to ask, are you this unpleasant in real life conversation? I've never seen anything but an angry rant from you. Sincerely I wish you the best.

Outstanding! I formally request a quibbling emoji. You know, TDS goes both ways, as in one so deranged by Trump love, you can't think rationally or objectively anymore. As for the topic, what are the benefits of a privatized ATC vs GS employees? Wouldn't it cost more because now someone is now making profit? OK, so ban profits. Now that CEO writes his contract to make $5M. Does said private company have the same oversight and obligation to the FAA/Congress on accountability? Would said company have free reign to set fees, charge more for foreign carriers, cut services to some class D muni, etc? Would that mean no taxpayer funds, thus driving up ticket prices? Would my taxes go down? (I already know thats a fat No). How do you charge that Cirrus doing 30 T/Gs for training? What about the soon to be electrics? They don't buy gas, so how do they pay to play? Do pilots pay by the landing or the vector? Would this drive more VFR flying to not talk to ATC/file a flight plan? Can ATC still give a pilot a ph number to call or is more like a security guard pulling you over for speeding? Most importantly, what effect will this have on safety. And this is stuff off the top of my head. My point is, some things need to be govt, especially items that serve a broad public. While it doesn't mean it can't work, waiving your hand and saying privatize it doesn't equal lower costs to the tax payers.

Well, the left doesn’t seem to want to cut any positions, and rather expand the government, so in the meantime I’ll take just about any cuts. Are some positions more important to cut than others, of course…but let’s not pretend that the big government types (and yes, that includes those in the GOP) want to cut much of anything.

So when these companies are nationalized we just fire/kill their bobs and lawyers. Easy fix 🤌

Boeing brought in @HuggyU2 to test out the new cockpit entry system…

One ping only, Dmitri... (is all it takes).

"Drones over Denmark" sounds like the name of an Outkast song.
