The boomers aren’t dead yet. Someone has to chase their votes. I’m not in favor of this strategy at all but I also know that lots of boomers are conservatives and that all conservative jobs are dirty jobs (starring Mike Rowe, a conservative). We either figure out how to steal their amygdalas back from Fox or they’ll keep blindly voting us toward civil war.
To me it sounds like multiple relatively minor errors coalesced around tragedy. There is lots of data to inform changes to fine-tune a congested airspace. It also looks like the military’s culture of safety has slipped and they’ve forgotten how intricately of an operation this all is when their operations are do closely intertwined with a commercial operation. That could potentially indicate the need for large systemic change pending further investigation.
What I don’t see is an obvious call for outrage; for heads to roll; to tear down the system to start over. Idk if there’s footage but the article writing makes it sound like Homenday is playing up the drama, but she could also just be passionate in what she’s saying.
I’m seeking comfort in the belief that one of our damn systems in this country still functions. Sometimes we just need to read the post-mortem, make the changes, and let insurance pay the grieving families.
