Air travel is a disaster

Air travel is a disaster under the man who’s supposed to fix air travel.

Tucker looks at some recent problems with our TRANSportation system under the handling of Pete Buttigieg. Highlights include:

“It was two years ago that Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana was in a very hard place, really. He was unemployed, he was pushing 40, he was staring down the barrel of a grim and nonproductive middle age. For Mayor Pete, the back nine was not looking promising. But then, help arrived in the unlikely and doddering form of Joe Biden. Either because of his innate decency or because he has a nasty sense of humor, Joe Biden made Pete Buttigieg the Federal Secretary of Transportation, despite the fact that Pete Buttigieg had no relevant experience with transportation of any kind.”

“Mayor Pete turned his attention to aviation. Now, Mayor Pete himself flies private, so he didn’t have a tactile firsthand experience with our crumbling airports or crowded, stinking planes last refurbished during the Clinton administration. But he knew something more important. He knew that the FAA was beset by structural misogyny and transphobia, and to fix that, Mayor Pete had the FAA announce that the aviation system called Notice To Airmen, that’s the system that keeps pilots up to date on their flights, that system would change immediately.”

“Actually, the system itself wouldn’t change, it would remain the same, but more important, the name would change. Going forward, it would be called Notice To Air Missions.”

“See the massive improvement there? Now we’re getting somewhere. So, the beginning of last year, Mayor Pete declared victory.”

“So, he was on it, and the equity crisis was solved. Unfortunately, our transportation problems were not solved. They had, in the meantime, become much worse. In fact, it reached a point, it is at a point that you might experience in, say, a trip across Bangladesh. Just today, in fact, the FAA was forced to order a ground stop for all air traffic in the United States, no planes flying in a continental country, first time that has happened since 9/11. Now, the problem affected the newly renamed Notice To Air Missions system. More than 10,000 flights were canceled or delayed. How did this happen? Total stop on all air travel?”

“The important thing to know here is that the system that didn’t work, the Notice To Airmen, is no longer called Notice To Airmen. So, it may not actually function, you can’t actually fly anywhere, you’re earthbound, but you’re not transphobic. So, air travel is a disaster under the man who’s supposed to fix air travel. But it’s not just air travel. Have you ridden on a train recently?”

“Well, on Monday of this week at 5pm, passengers in Virginia got on an Amtrak bound for Orlando, the car train. They were supposed to arrive by 10am on Tuesday, but they didn’t. Instead, they were stuck on that train for 37 hours, because Amtrak, part of our transportation system, could not figure out how to navigate around a derailment. Some passengers called the police, thinking they’d been taken hostage.”

Tucker: We’re Back.

At the most basic level, the news you consume is a lie, a lie of the stealthiest and most insidious kind. Facts have been withheld on purpose, along with proportion and perspective. You are being manipulated.

Tucker again lays into the media propaganda machine as he announces he’s taking the show to Twitter. Highlights include:

“You often hear people say that news is full of lies, but most of the time, that’s not exactly right. Much of what you see on television or read in the New York Times is, in fact, true in the ‘literal’ sense, it could pass one of the media’s own ‘fact checks.’ Lawyers would be willing to sign off on it, in fact they may have. But that doesn’t make it true. It’s not true.”

“The best you can hope for in the news business at this point is the freedom to tell the fullest truth that you can, but there are always limits, and you know that if you bump up against those limits often enough, you will be fired for it. That’s not a guess, it’s guaranteed. Every person who works in the English language media understands that. The rule of what you can’t say defines everything. It’s filthy, really, and it’s utterly corrupting.”

“For the most part, the news that you see analyzed on Twitter comes from media organizations that are themselves thinly disguised propaganda outlets. You see it on cable news, you talk about it on Twitter. The result may feel like a debate, but actually the gatekeepers are still in charge. We think that’s a bad system. We know exactly how it works, and we’re sick of it.”

Tucker: See you soon

When honest people say what’s true calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful. At the same time, the liars who’ve been trying to silence them shrink.

Oh gosh, I’m using Twitter. Tucker dropped a video today on his Twitter account, again commenting on the current state of US media and finishing with a hopeful “See you soon.” Highlights include:

“One of the first things you realize when you step outside the noise for a few days is how many genuinely nice people there are in this country, kind and decent people, people who really care about what’s true, and a bunch of hilarious people also, a lot of those, it’s gotta be the majority of the population, even now, so that’s heartening. The other thing you notice when you take a little time off is how unbelievably stupid most of the debates you see on television are…”

“Both political parties and their donors have reached consensus on what benefits them and they actively collude to shut down any conversation about it. Suddenly, the United States looks very much like a one party state. That’s a depressing realization, but it’s not permanent. Our current orthodoxies won’t last. They’re brain dead.”

“This moment is too inherently ridiculous to continue, and so it won’t. The people in charge know this, that’s why they’re hysterical and aggressive. They’re afraid. They’ve given up persuasion, they’re resorting to force. But it won’t work. When honest people say what’s true calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful. At the same time, the liars who’ve been trying to silence them shrink, and they become weaker. That’s the iron law of the universe, true things prevail.”
