How long before the announcement that they are awarding one of their billionaire buddies with a no bid contract to replace air traffic control with an LLM based system?

US flight cancellations rise as Sean Duffy warns travel could reduce to a ‘trickle’
(www.theguardian.com)
That's basically what Musk and DOGE were trying to do earlier this year. So yeah that doesn't seem very far fetched.
The transportation secretary, Sean Duffy, has warned that flight reductions could reach 20% if the shutdown persists, and on Sunday he predicted a “substantial” number of people in the US would be unable to celebrate the upcoming holidays with their families if the shutdown wasn’t resolved.
Trump administration dysfunction on full display for this holiday season.
It'll also be kind of hard to celebrate while dying of starvation and hypothermia
We had Nashville tickets for next week to visit family. We thought about it and decided to cancel it ourselves rather than suffer the delays and certain inconveniences of cancellations beyond our control. I already consider air travel dehumanizing so it was an easy call for me.
Just remember how things were so much worse with Biden, we didn't even have planes, just horses and carriages.
Don't forget about the civil war airports!
Even dumber, it was Revolutionary War airports. The redcoats were coming... in jets!
Hey, how about banning private jets, that would lower the load.
Who has private jets? There's the answer. If anyone is going to suffer, it will be the commons first.
Who else in this maladministration besides Pedonald and Duffy are mostly known for being on a reality TV show?
This timeline is just so fucking ridiculous.
I'm more concerned with all the hungry people. Fuck jet flights.
Thank god. Now subsidize trains!
Fun fact: Trump's brother was an airplane pilot
Wasn't he the one that died? Frankly speaking I wish we could've swapped the brothers.
