@bags86458683 @jeffreytucker I'm speaking to how funding is constantly politicized.

@BrantHadaway @jeffreytucker Not arguing against privatization but that’s not the cause of this accident. Human error occurs no matter who pays the salary.
English
Trump should take this opportunity to announce that, in honor of the deceased pilots of Air Canada Flight 8646, he has directed his administration to explore privatizing our nation's air traffic control system, as did Canada in 1996.
Because it would be supported by user fees instead of taxpayer dollars, privatization would free our nation's air traffic control system from the vagaries of Congressional funding and bureaucratic red tape.

@RogerBaumgarten That was completely foreseeable. Republicans can be so politically short-sighted that it boggles the mind
English
@BrantHadaway As I recall, the GOP condition for approving TSA creation was that the workforce would be non-union, at-will employment. Some years later, Lefty pro-union policymakers forced a change, to our detriment.

I remember when some of us opposed federalizing airport security. It's made us into hostages.

🚨HOLY CRAP!!! The Atlanta TSA line has now stretched to a stunning 153 minute-wait-time... AT 6AM IN THE MORNING!!!! The line is WRAPPING AROUND BAGGAGE CLAIM!!! THIS IS PURE INSANITY!!!!!!

Barack Obama and his Chicago crew taught the Dems that they could treat government as a protection racket. Trump appears to be the only Republican who understands this.
Andrew Kolvet@AndrewKolvet
So not only did ICE fix the wait lines at Atlanta's airport, now leftists are coming to protest them!! This is an important microcosm of modern America. Democrats screw things up. We try to fix it. Leftists protest you trying to fix the problem they created. They hate you and want you to suffer.

@Zoomer1486132 @Osint613 Three-Mile Island and Chernobyl gave people a fright.
English
@Osint613 Can anyone explain to me the hate on nuclear energy? It has always seemed like that’s what everyone should be on. Why it became political is beyond me
English
EU Commission President, von der Leyen:
While in 1990, one third of Europe's electricity came from nuclear, today it's only close to 15%.
This reduction in the share of nuclear was a choice.
And in hindsight, it was a strategic mistake for Europe to turn its back on a reliable, affordable source of low-emission power.

Every account and certainly every institution that believes in civil liberties, religious freedom, and commercial rights ought to be promoting this. It's the one means we have of being heard. covidjustice.org

Yes, you're 3.5% of the population and 90% of the movies and advertisements. I don't want you erased nor ignored, but when half the movies are about a same sex couple who lives next door to a bumbling Black dad/White mom couple, that's not "the actual real world"
Senator Scott Wiener@Scott_Wiener
Depicting LGBTQ people in films isn’t “therapy.” It’s depicting the actual real world, where LGBTQ people exist & have always existed. Classifying it as “therapy” is similar to saying that laws banning discrimination against LGBTQ people somehow provide us with “special rights.” It’s part of the broader movement to erase LGBTQ people from many aspects of life. We’re part of the real world. We’re not going anywhere.

@jeffreytucker People have this weird notion that DST somehow creates an extra hour in the day. Standard time is closer to local noon.
English
Today the clocks change in the most stupid way, totally messing with the seasons and disorienting natural flows of time and nature. Dumbest thing ever and also deeply unpopular. I really believed that perhaps this would come to an end by now but nope: idiocy is on autopilot.

@esmemurphy Is it true that your press credential was revoked because you were using your phone to record the hearing?

@EmbSpainUK @jmalbares The ghosts of Munich in 1938 would have a word.
English
"Spain advocates de-escalation, negotiation & respect for intrl law.
We cannot resign ourselves to war becoming the natural way in which states relate to one another & establish a balance of power".
Spain's Foreign Minister @jmalbares on the conflict in the Middle East.

“España defiende la desescalada, la negociación y el derecho internacional. No podemos resignarnos a que la guerra sea la forma natural de relacionarse y de establecer un equilibrio de poder”. ▶️ El ministro de @MAECgob, @jmalbares, sobre el conflicto en Oriente Medio.

Holy shit. Wow.
This is HANDS DOWN the best take I’ve heard.
If there is one video you listen to today it’s this one.
Every single word of this and it’s a huge “f*ck you” to @antonioguterres for propping up the barbaric terrorist Islamic Regime in Iran.
Must be shared everywhere in my opinion.
Unfortunately I have no idea who this young British woman is to credit her, if you know who it is feel free to tag below.

I still say that the CDC should be re-made in the likeness of the NTSB - no rulemaking authority, only the power to investigate and report.
Jeffrey A Tucker@jeffreytucker
The CDC needs to be utterly gutted, and 100 new data people hired to get the actual truth out to the people through open-source data gateways. Enough burying the truth.

They're not worried about power. They're worried about accountability.
The same people who locked you in your house, barred your kids from school, and forced you to wear a cloth over your face are now worried that Jay Bhattacharya has "too much power."

Imagine scientists who think that the point of science is to "avoid a shitshow"... Instead of being appalled, the media applauded and continues to applaud 6 years later.
We are nowhere near learning the lesson from the Covid debacle. This is a genuine civilizational crisis. 100 years of mass education to get zero critical mind at the moment it mattered most. It's sobering...

@annbauerwriter @Apple I've had the same problem with the iPhone 12 for years. Predictive text causes typos that are downright bizarre. The only solace I take from it is that we're apparently nowhere close to the AI singularity.
English
I bought my first iPhone in a decade last month. It is a disaster. Predictive is a mess. Keyboard is ‘off’ and difficult to use. Can’t highlight text or move cursor through characters. I’m horrified. Does @Apple take returns?
Travis Akers 🇺🇸@travisakers
I believe Apple is gaslighting me with all these typos on my iPhone. Either they’ve change iOS settings for the keyboard or I’m rapidly aging. But there’s no way my texting ability has declined this much.
