@eight6four7 @fanofstu @mcuban For a parody account you’re not doing so great

@fanofstu @GTL_310 @mcuban literally not one one job the TSA does could be replaced by AI lol

The big lie of “gov sucks at everything “ , is that they suck the most at enforcing performance and costs. You know what’s worse than the gov running a service? Private companies knowing that the gov entities they contract with can’t do shit to stop them from fucking up everything and making a fortune. I’m not saying this applies to every private company. Many do have ethics. Not all. And as an entrepreneur, it’s embarrassing to us all. Need proof ? Look at the Noem ad contract. Look at healthcare. Taxpayers provide 70pct or more of the revenue of the largest insurance companies. Those same insurance companies get fined and found liable for ripping off taxpayers, again and again and again. And they still get to do business with the gov, knowing they can effectively steal money from us all. The fines are a nuisance. And this is healthcare. When they lie, people die. Maybe when we are smart enough to pass laws saying that gov contractors get one mulligan. Two fines from any government entity and you are blacklisted from Gov contracts at the state and federal level for 10 years. That’s when things will change Until then the concept of privatization of gov services like the tsa or post office or .. is just a license for a private company to abuse taxpayers and face next to no consequences.

@fanofstu @eight6four7 @mcuban The most skilled / critical job at TSA, by the way, can likely be 90% replaced by AI (xray reader)

@GTL_310 @eight6four7 @mcuban Is that number the total expenses of TSA divided by the number of TSA employees?

@fanofstu @eight6four7 @mcuban Total federal TSA budget, per FTE

@eight6four7 @mcuban TSA spends $207,000 per employee per year. You think that’s efficient? You think the cattle herders you see at the airport are making anything close to $200k?

@GTL_310 @mcuban TSA virtually did not exist until 2001, so the "well, look at TSA!" argument fails also, for what they do, TSA runs very efficiently, better than a private company ever would

@mcuban I’ve noticed lots of people with means choose to use private security when taxpayer funded protection is insufficient.

@GTL_310 Have you noticed how many private airlines go out of business ? Do you really want them paying to protect you from crazies ?.

@MCCCANM @willguisbond ATC can make a mistake but the driver should have cleared up the conflict between ATC clearance and REL

@MCCCANM @willguisbond If that’s the protocol, then driver is at fault even though ATC should not have cleared them to cross. Should be open and shut here on who ultimately screwed up most.

NTSB says there were other vehicles at LGA behind the firetruck that did NOT begin crossing the runway when the accident vehicle did

@Charles95777519 @Pirat_Nation Apple routers were great and easy to configure for average person. Still have no idea how to set parental controls or unique device limits on my TPlink.

@Pirat_Nation It was dumb for Apple to stop making routers. Like phones, most normal people just want it working and secure. I'm in IT and have zero confidence mine is secure.

@sundaram_anant @bscholl @united Frequent fliers in hub cities are only choosing the dominant airline. Only cities with choice are NY/LA/CHI

@bscholl @united Yeah, but they can do nothing at all about their two shabby main hubs. I will fly through (or from) neither. Delta knows that, and that is their biggest competitive advantage

Unpopular opinion: Step by step, @United is turning itself into an airline brand worthy of love.

@_CatholicWest @mfreeman451 @JoePostingg All things being equal, would rather palantir have my data than china.

@mfreeman451 @JoePostingg yeah let's just make sure we buy routers and access points from approved American companies, owned by blackrock and what not, and provide a full firehose feed piped directly to Palantir that's much better than random generic asian router🙄

If your router is more than a few years old you should buy a TP-Link Archer BE3600 right now. Good home routers basically won't exist in six months, you'll have to buy an enterprise device if you want something that actually works.

@uwunetes @SnazzyLabs @nandoprince93 More than useless sounds…good?

@SnazzyLabs @nandoprince93 yes i agree however their support every time has been more than useless unfortunately

Ugh should I leave T mobile for Mint. Been with them for 20+ years. We pay $162 for just 2 lines. We don’t finance any phones or anything. T-Mobile does pay for Netflix and makes international data easy (the one time we leave the US a year). Just feels like I’m wasting money.

@LamarMK Cool. Zero people actually do this.

FYI: To fully charge a Cybertruck from 0-100% at a Supercharger costs $47 and gets you over 300 miles of range.

@bscholl Why is this unpopular?

Unpopular opinion: Today two pilots lost their lives because we have an air traffic control system inherently vulnerable to human error. Even great humans make mistakes sometimes. Machines should be issuing clearances, not human controllers.

@supremeMilo @mattyglesias Only if you support nuking the filibuster, which you do.

@mattyglesias Constitutionally, and legally Dems are not holding anything up. Republicans have all the power.

Democrats are holding up DHS funding to push for ICE changes. Dems keep offering to pass standalone TSA funding, but rather than take “yes” for an answer Trump wants to pull ICE off the streets and put them into airports — thus giving Dems the ICE pullback they want!

@ThoughtCrimes80 @MztrzElana You can take this fake video down you know

@MztrzElana Oh weird. Thanks for the heads up.

She is the daughter of hoarders, and is now tasked with cleaning the home she inherited. I will never understand how people live like this. 😳😬

@SenBlumenthal Da Nang Dick has thoughts

ICE agents at airports will only aggravate delays & lines—disrupting checks, interrogating travelers, dragging parents from children, detaining citizens, brutalizing families, shooting & even killing. politico.com/news/2026/03/2…

@Lord_Kaishin @NewsWire_US @grok Are you a retard?

@NewsWire_US @grok Republicans control 3 branches of government. Why do we need Democrats to fund DHS?

TRUMP: I WILL DEPLOY ICE AGENTS TO AIRPORTS ON MONDAY IF DEMOCRATS DON'T AGREE TO FUND DHS

@MCCCANM This is simply propaganda to bolster opposition for when Trump eventually gets rid of the communists, a bipartisan 60-year policy goal of the United States that the democrats will immediately oppose once Trump succeeds.

The FAA defines how much a passenger & their carry-on bags weigh as a standard average for weight & balance calculations. If I recall correctly, it’s 190 lbs in the summer & 195 lbs in the winter. Let’s say 140 passengers. 140 x 190 =26,600. In their press release, they crow about delivering 6,000 lbs of aid. If they had just chartered a cargo jet & stayed home, they could have delivered more than 4x the cargo. The aid makes up less than a quarter of what the jet they chartered can carry, after fuel. These people are stupid & unserious, but I’m sure the Instagram posts of their vacation on donor’s money will get lots of likes.

@Not_the_Bee Bob Casey Jr is not a US senator

I asked ChatGPT to give a thumbs up or down for all 100 senators. The results are ridiculous. All but 2 Dems got a thumbs up, all but 4 Republicans got a thumbs down (and those 4 Republicans with thumbs up are Murkowski, Collins, Romney and Britt...aka not real Republicans)
