ransomnote: I question the optics. We know the federal government has been rolling in cash (ours) and splashing it out on the lamest imaginable 'programs' at the fartherst locations from the US. They certainly have/had money to fund gain of function research.
The fact that the radar system is in a state of collapse seems planned in the same manner the horrible user unfriendly design and lack of maintainance on the FDA/CDC 'VAERS' database seems planned.
Elon Musk said a month or two ago that the FAA flight control system wouldn't last more than a few months at best.
The MSM eagerly informs us that the system has had problems for decades.
I got tired of 'coincidences' a long time ago. It's a problem for decades but is within months of failur 4 months into Trump's 2nd term in office.
Wasn't this Pete Buttigieg's responsiblity? Did he shephard the FAA system through to Trump's inauguration and now it's falling and may not get up?
In 1995, the government was asked to investigate outtages with the ATC (airtraffic control system). However, the last upgrade the the FAA ATC system was in the 60's.
In a factoid found on the Internet, a portion of ticket sales go to fund the majority of the FAA, and the rest is alotted by Congressional extensions.
Who funds the FAA? You, whenever you fly
The Airport and Airway Trust Fund collects revenue from air travel-related taxes and uses it to fund the FAA. In FY 2022, passenger taxes were 71.3% of AATF revenue — but funding depends on congressional extensions for the AATF.

So why is it a wreck? Congress critters fly through public airports, too.
The system has been problematic and unreliable 'for decades' but only with Trump and white hats in office is there a planned upgrade.
Remember the globalists said their plan for us was, "You will have nothing and like it?" I'm wondering if they planned to let the domestic ATC systems fail and leave air travel to overlords in the government, and perhaps elites with their own jets would be allowed to use the government (military) airports. Yes, it could be just buck passing or kick-the-can-down-the-road politics, but I am skeptical.Maybe the Globalists yet plan to hold out the option of complete, permanent national ATC failure to stop any 'resistance' to their planned coup. Perhaps the ATC system would have mysteriously 'failed' soon after the attempt on Trump's life, had one of them been successful.
ATC failure would also place domestic shipping via air, including mail, in the hands of the government (Want your mail, or food from a government distribution center? Please bring your vaccine ID.)
Of course, Q+/Q have a habit of appropriating Deep State weapons and tactics, and using it to beat them.
