I think the more successful and authority you have the less you care about people.

Hey @Decentric
What is your analysis on Meta/Facebook removing tampons from men's toilets - regarding the following news report?
In your political activism, are you working towards or away from policies that include supplying tampons in male toilets?

Combative Trump blames DEI policies after air tragedy
The president started his White House news conference as "consoler-in-chief" but then pivoted into unevidenced political blame, writes the BBC's Anthony Zurcher.
www.bbc.com
An archived version of a website for the FAA's diversity and inclusion hiring programme that appears to have been taken down in December included a similar list. The agency was seeking people with "targeted disabilities" that the federal government was prioritising for recruitment at the time.
But it's unclear how that drive to make recruitment more diverse may have impacted the ranks of air traffic controllers, who President Trump said needed to all be "naturally talented geniuses". The FAA has more than 35,000 employees, only a fraction of which perform that role.
In response to criticisms over diversity hiring practices last year, the agency released a statement asserting that all new hires must meet "rigorous qualifications" that "vary by position".
The agency has faced criticism over a longstanding shortage of air traffic controllers, particularly after the Covid-19 pandemic caused massive disruptions in commercial air travel.

Do you think that everyone in the FAA is an air traffic controller. Do you honestly think that, even in America, people with "severe intellectual and psychiatric disabilities" would be getting hired as air traffic controllers? Or commercial pilots?

First week is going well
“You have to earn your spot to be moved into the ladder to be put into that helicopter. They don’t just give it to you. You earn it,” the father told CBS News. “And you know, all of those soldiers that protect us, they earn their stripes every single day.”

Gary O’Hara, whose son Ryan O’Hara was one of the Black Hawk pilots killed after the helicopter collided with a commercial airline, has spoken out about his son’s love for his work, and the pain of hearing Donald Trump blame the tragedy on “DEI”.“You have to earn your spot to be moved into the ladder to be put into that helicopter. They don’t just give it to you. You earn it,” the father told CBS News. “And you know, all of those soldiers that protect us, they earn their stripes every single day.”

The bloke is a piece of shit. Imagine 70 odd people die and you use it for a platform to engage in culture wars, without evidence mind you, rather than be a leader and a statesman.
All the flog had to do was stand there and say this is a terrible tragedy and we'll leave no stone unturned to try and find out what happened so it never happens again.
But no. Petty and pathetic as per usual.
