Ayatollah Trumpolini think we're some backwater religious dictatorship. And he's the right person to point fingers.

Easter moves around on the calendar Trans Visibility Day does not and has been acknowledged for 10 years. Dumb as dirt these idiots and that is an insult to dirt. Idiots will idiot. Of course most people don't know that the fall of easter has to do with the spring equinox and not some magic date. They'll be really surprised when they find out that Biden added another day in February. Dark Brandon shit.

Knock on wood but looks like United will finish the month with 14 incidents, a notable blemish on air travel...
Side note: 176 of 949 active planes in United's fleet are not-Boeing planes - all of them Airbus. So if you have 14 incidents, if they're evenly distributed, you would expect 2.59 of those incidents to be Airbus planes. 3 of the incidents were Airbus planes. This is definitely not a Boeing problem

So what they have is astroturfism Basically the noise of populism without an ounce of policies that help most people other than rich assholes.

This is definitely not a Boeing problem Deregulate and see what happens. I'm not prepared to say that United is a deregulation problem. It might be, but I'm not sure we know yet Boeing is clearly a deregulation problem - lack of FAA auditing meant that issues could progressively creep into their processes until a third of their production line was no longer functioning. Which isn't necessarily a malicious profiteering thing, it could easily be a negligence thing. Restaurants are inspected regularly and most restaurants get a handful of notes regularly with an action plan to clean it up and get reinspected a month or two later. It's just little things they forget about as the years roll along. There's also this story from a former Blizzard employee turned part time streamer who did an audit of their support staff and found that 4-year veterans were far more likely to divulge details they weren't supposed to divulge because there was a retraining issue. You need someone to just tap you on the shoulder from time to time. Which is a definitely a basis for it possibly being a problem in United. However, I also know that there are times where it's a training issue or a due diligence issue or something that might not immediately catch the notice of auditors. I think a bit of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 where this one mechanic was really proud of how he was able to perform this 4hr maintenance operation in just 1hr.... not realizing that there was a reason why it was a 4hr maintenance operation. The plane crashed primarily because there wasn't enough lubricant on the rudder screw because the 4hrs is to ensure that the lubricant gets absolutely fucking everywhere. The screw shore off, the rudder flew freely and the plane found its way into the ocean. (There's like a dozen contributing factors including maintenance trying to debug dooming a partially stable - non-functional but at least stable - system)
