Summary

Trump is firing hundreds of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) employees despite recent fatal air crashes, CNN reports.

The AFL-CIO says terminations were issued Friday, with affected staff possibly locked out of FAA facilities after Monday.

Aviation safety union PASS calls the cuts “dangerous,” especially after four deadly incidents in the past month.

Critics argue these moves risk public safety amid ongoing air traffic controller shortages.

    Time to stop putting our faith in flying.

    I already decided I’m never going on another dangerous amusement park ride because I don’t trust the businesses to maintain them properly.

    Gonna be living like native americans before long!

      Fry bread is the perfect “I am desperately inhumanly broke” food. You can get a lot of calories out of a bottle of oil/tub of lard and a bag of flour.

      Beadwork lets you make something gorgeous out of stuff you can get at the dollar tree.

        They are all out.

        It’s not worth putting my life in their hands.
