  1. From another post:

    This part is particularly alarming from the article:

    One FAA employee who was fired over the weekend suggested he was targeted for his views on Tesla and X, formerly Twitter, not as part of a general probationary-level sweep. Both are owned by Elon Musk, who is leading Trump’s effort to cut the federal government.

    [Charles Spitzer-Stadtlander](https://www.linkedin.com/in/charles-spitzer-stadtlander-jd-mpa-9b018b25/) posted on LinkedIn that he was fired just after midnight Saturday, days after he started getting harassing messages on Facebook. 

    “The official DOGE Facebook page started harassing me on my personal Facebook account after I criticized Tesla and Twitter,” Spitzer-Stadtlander wrote. “Less than a week later, I was fired, despite my position allegedly being exempted due to national security.”

    Get ready guys, our options for inter-state travel are gonna be
    1) Flying (there’s crashes every week)
    2) Amtrak (it’s completely defunded and barely functional)
    3) Driving (car and gas prices are astronomical)
    4) Intercity bus (greyhound sold all the terminals so it picks you up at a random gravel lot at the edge of town)
