    His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.

    a contractor’s error or a faulty router had caused the nationwide disruption.

    What a flimsy coverup.

      Yeah, it’s definitely not true. My brother is an ATC and said people were reporting radar outages. That has nothing to do with a faulty router.

      a lot of innocent people were screwed by the grounding of flights, which i do sympathize. but also a lot of oligarchs got screwed worse. i hope it happens again. and for longer.

      every day, i’m given yet another reason i’m glad i decided to never fly again years ago

          This guy is right. This cost real time and money for… tens of thousands? Hundreds Of thousands? Of normal people. Oligarchs line went down a little. They lost pocket change, when others saved weeks or months to afford their trip that they probably cant take again because they have real jobs and cant do whatever they want whenever they want

            Am currently sitting at a gate that’s been swapped 3 times and delayed over 4 hours. I’ve been trying to get home since Friday. I’m very lucky my spouse is home with the animals and such. I’ve met multiple people stuck between transfers, ones who missed huge once in a lifetime events due to being stuck on the other side of the country. I’ve already had to drive 4 hours with a friend to a different airport and was one of the lucky ones who had somewhere to stay and hadn’t checked my bag.(Instead of $700 a night motel 8’s and a $200 Uber to get there) I had to last minute get my gigs covered at home for this weekend(I’m an entertainer) which means I’m out of $1200 worth of work during the slowest month of the year. One of the people I have jobs lined up for this week is already on me about how they need me… Like…it’s not a bunch of rich people stuck grounded, it’s thousands of us trying to share power chords and taking turns sitting in chairs. They only gave us a single $12 food voucher over these past few days. There’s currently 20 people waiting on standby for my delayed flight. (Also, tons of planes are getting delayed by multiple hours because they don’t have enough flight attendants. We’ve had to move gates twice cause the currently docked plane couldn’t take off without the full crew they needed for multiple hours.) I just want to go home, so does everyone else near me. Almost everyone is just exhausted, staff and passengers.

            People in airports have at least some money. Many of them are flying for business. Poor people can’t afford to fly. I’m never concerned about people with money getting inconvenienced. I’m HAPPY when people with money are inconvenienced. It reminds them that they have to deal with the same shit as the rest of us, and they really hate that, which makes me happy. Schadenfreude is my hobby.

              Sure, just remember there is some middle ground between you and the pieces of shit at the top. Just because someone can afford to fly to a funeral, like my teacher coworker, does not make them well off

                Words you don’t hear often, I miss Spirit airlines lol. I flew to go see my family a couple years ago and paid like $42 each way. Only go for 3 days because that’s as long as we can stand each other anyways, so bring a backpack and there was no baggage fees.

                That price is equivalent to the price drop in my electric bill from September to October this year. ~80 because September was so hot.

    JFC. These guys love to play the hits.

    According to a lot of these idiots, the statue of limitations on blaming Obama has not run out, either.
