Why cutting off National Park workers and FAA workers? Especially after the California Fires and Air Traffic casualties and accidents? Are we getting bamboozled again?
Out of 45,000 employees? and these are all non-safety related positions, correct? You really don’t think the FAA is bloated? That’s about .8% reduction in staffing. I’ve also seen that the recent incidents are actually occurring at a nearly identical rate to last year.
I’m guessing this will pave the way for new rules as well. Like not being able to track these billionaires planes anymore.
Curious what the demographics are of these federal employees getting fired.
