@@alexpkeaton4471 Fuck, sometimes I forget he’s also a lardass. I feel like that’s the great overlooked fact about Trump. He is actually the fattest president since Taft and it doesn’t get talked about.
I love that he says 'we've got to have the best people, regardless of whatever color/creed etc' and then rails against DEI, the point of which was to make sure that the best candidates don't get overlooked if they aren't white. ATC is a critically understaffed job, made significantly harder by that understaffing, and he wants to raise the already appropriately high bar. And the shit about people with intellectual disabilities, mental health issues etc. They weren't hiring them to be ATCs, they would be hiring them for support roles, office jobs etc. It would be criminally irresponsible to hire someone with anxiety issues to be an ATC.
Yeah, this is going to be another Reagan with ATCs. Possibly worse because the wording of the anti-DEI stuff seems to imply that just hiring a non-cis het white male could be a liability risk for business. The biggest impact of the anti-DEI is the chilling effect it will have on hiring in general as employers suddenly fear possible legal liability purely because its so broad and arbitrary.
Agree totally, i have posted similar arguments with MAGA dudes, reminding them that a foundational aspect of DEI is to address critical staff shortages by encouraging more applicants. Not many people want to be an ATC, it is for high functioning individuals only, it is fuckin stressful AND has a high staff turnover. Same with miltitary, they can't get enough applicants if they do not implement DEI. One pilot said : "No place for DEI in aviation" I told him there are plenty of roles that are non-critical. They just do not think it through and are guided by bigotry alone....
@Jonmad17 something like proportional representation is a goal, but it's not a hard and fast rule of DEI, particularly for jobs like ATC, or for Doctors, where there are standards that have to be met first before hiring. Given that there's a serious shortage of ATCs, if DEI was just hire anyone who checks off a box on the list of identities, then there supposedly wouldn't be a shortage. And the for the Trump admin to 'raise the bar' by getting rid of DEI policies, reduces their potential pool of candidates by their own logic. I know they don't give a shit that they're hypocrites. It's just being used as a thought terminating cliché for themselves and their base. And that's frustrating because the slightest thought put into it reveals it to be a fucking smokescreen, and so many people can't seem to muster even that much thought.
If Trump wants people to like him he could you know do stuff people like. Keep his personality but pass progressive bills that would get him lots of love
Oh he’s getting LOTS of love from his base by doing all this pro-Christian-white people fascist stuff. Making empathy illegal. Banning holidays other than the white male based ones. Firing and locking up all the scientists and competent federal workers. Freeing the violent white guys from Jan 6th. This is like the purest form of utopia for these people right now. They’re so stoked that they haven’t even noticed or thought about their egg and gas prices OR the stock pieces plummeting.
All of the “I identify as ‘a’ attack helicopter” jokes have aged very well. You guys just don’t get it. Conservatives have been foreshadowing for a decade+
It's a Blackhawk they're usually being piloted by two people like airliners are so saying "the pilot was a" doesn't really make sense. The great white male hope was senior and could've corrected the shitty flight path but didn't.
It’s ridiculous to blame this crash on dei, but a decade or so ago there was a program started within the FAA that replaced the 8 hour cognitive test for air traffic controllers with a “cultural” quiz made to favor recent unemployment and poor science scores in high school.
Biden kept putting trans people in his government and they were stealing the luggage at the airports and the midget security guards could not stop them no matter how much the black women screamed. IT WAS LUNACY.
Trump is perfect response to anybody that ever said he is the president you have to respect him. He is the best possible counter to that idea

We replaced a demented man with a mentally ill and possibly also demented man. I fucking love this country.
Fat orange Joe Biden is not off to a good start.

@@Badtown1988I see what you mean. I think it’s because what he says doesn’t leave time to think or talk about his appearance.

The point of DEI is to hire based on criteria other than competency, such as proportional representation.

11:06 It's just "I did everything right and they indicted me" to everything now
Im sorry i was supposed to be doing traffic control but i was being gay
The world doesn't end with a bang, but a overstimulated, yet drawn-out whisper.
Er wut??? I like raisins. SPEAK LOUDER.
Is it classism to have mic/compression control?
Its unnecessary chaos
....which is a very effective tool among US power brokers.

Doesnt get to that.

Underrated comment
I don’t listen often but was hyped to hear amber is back.
Checking in with planet Chapo
Oh boy
Pretty funny that this podcast was recorded right before we found out that the helicopter was literally being flown by a 28-year-old gay woman.
Hey, I'm also gay.
What are the odds.

Is he Wrong?
Yeah, very much so. You'd have to be a total brainless doofus to take his word on his obvious bullshit.
My uncle told me that he tried to get a job flying planes but thanks to DEI it is 99% midgets.
Yes! Next question
Yeah

Thank goodness we filled our government with crypto criminals and reality tv stars to stop this madness you are making up.
And we haven't had a crash until the orange moron came into office brigning chaos. What's your point?
female helicopter pilot, Rand studies showing they wash out because of errors
The problem was the helicopter was black, it should of been WHITE
Somehow, I doubt the FAA wanted to prioritize poor science scores in high school. I might be ignorant, though.
DEI was an actual problem.
There's 13 billionaires running the government. Are you brain dead??
A South African hack who has billions in pentagon contracts (and) receive billions in corporate welfare is a actual problem.
Biden kept putting trans people in his government and they were stealing the luggage at the airports and the midget security guards could not stop them no matter how much the black women screamed. IT WAS LUNACY.
How exactly?
@ Libs are idiots. All I did was state the obvious.
