Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Summary

FAA Administrator Michael Whitaker resigned on Jan. 20, leaving the agency leaderless amid a major aviation crisis.

His departure followed months of clashes with Elon Musk, who criticized the FAA for imposing $600,000 in fines on SpaceX and called for Whitaker’s resignation.

Musk accused the FAA of obstructing space exploration.

Whitaker's exit comes as the FAA faces air traffic controller shortages and a major runway collision investigation.

Why the fuck is this racist apartheid loving non elected fuck have any say‽

[–] Zer0_F0x 57 points 1 day ago

Because the elected racist, apartheid loving fuck gave him the power. Money buys politicians, politicians make the rich even more so.

It's a big party and we're not invited

Because of trump voters and non-voters.

We elected a CEO to be president, essentially adding the country itself to his business portfolio. He's obviously going to trade a part of that power to other CEOs in exchange for favors and loyalty to benefit himself. It's nothing more than a business deal to exploit the country and its people for profits, something all wealthy business owners are familiar with, and something Trump didn't even try to hide his plans to do if he was elected.

Yoo how have I never considered looking through the press-and-hold alternatives for symbols‽

[–] deacon 2 points 22 hours ago

Yo right‽‽‽

[–] MajinBlayze 2 points 1 day ago

Tbh I googled it. I'd never noticed it either

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

RIP iOS. It only offers me the regular question mark or the inverted Spanish one.

¿Por qué iOS?

[–] Feathercrown 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Technically this is a keyboard function, not an OS function. Can you install different keyboards on Apple?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

You can, but I wouldn’t. Whenever I’ve looked at the permissions they want to send all key presses to a server. Like installing a key logger.
