      Not really, tbh. He’s pretty clearly just doing as much damage as he possibly can. This whole “Oooh whoopsie, we did a bad, does anyone want their job back?” shit is pure show to give himself some plausible deniability to keep the guillotines at bay.

      If you look at what’s happening through the lens of his goal being malice, and ignore the “ooooops!” pony show, what you see is a man who’s hamstrung an entire nation with literally zero consequences.

        In less than a month too.

        Feels like we need no confidence/snap elections or some shot to deal with this.

        But really we needed better protections from dictators and better under-represented vote counting long ago and now we have to fix shit the hard way.

        I wonder if he regrets this one though. If it becomes dangerous to fly he’d have to travel on the ground like a peasant

            VFR is fine for those Piper Cubs but no so great for high speed, congested airspace.

          Are malignant narcissists like him capable of the critical self-reflection required to regret things?

          He’d sooner take the oligarch route and privatize the FAA, fill it with his own loyalists, then give his flights priority wherever he goes, including whatever private aviation business (e.g. FedEx clone) he wants to push.

        There’s also the “fire everyone, then hire them back at a reduced salary while leaning on the fact that they care about preventing deaths enough to take the deal” aspect.
