Don’t worry, we trust Musk to tell us when there is a conflict of interest - the gop
Why are no democrats in congress submitting the “Keep planes in the sky” act to put limitations on government purges? Of course it wouldn’t pass, but this is how you draw attention to what they’re doing. Democrats are so, so bad at this stuff.
If progressive groups asking them to do something was enough to annoy them, doing something of their own volition is beyond their capabilities.
Unless its asked for by a lobbyist, they’re unlikely to care. We have two conservative parties: one that serves interests, and a worse one that serves self-interests.
Because Republicans don’t write that sort of shit .Corporations write them for Republicans who then submit them. The corporations generally like what’s going on. They’re not going to write them for Democrats to submit.
Corporations are picking the corpse of capitalism clean to the detriment of everyone. And having a blast.
Always keep in mind that the american democratic part is a center-right conservative party from virtually any non-US perspective. Contrary to the republicans, which are a christofascist-ultranationalist conservative party. But they’re both conservatives. They don’t like to work, they just want to make the rich richer.
Now, I should say, in particular the democrats do have plenty individual members who got the right ideas and do the right work. But they are struggling against an old party block that is used to never yanking the chain because they’re hte ones benefitting from the status quo, and who are also by now too old to mind fallout from stuff like Trump in office or climate change as they’ll die from old age in a few years anyways.
I’m sure it feels like it’s been months to you but it’s actually only week 4 of Trump presidency and Mike Whittaker, former top ranking FAA official, was only fired slightly over two weeks ago.
Writing up meaningless scraps of paper to accomplish nothing is one thing but asking for it on short notice while budget debates are taking place is another.
Instead how about this Republican sponsored bill to offer thoughts and prayers.
Should would be sad if one of Musk’s planes were to have an accident because of this.
