Summary

The Trump administration has begun firing several hundred FAA employees via emails, including workers in radar, landing, and navigational aid roles, as well as personnel in a classified early warning radar program for Hawaii.

The terminations occur just weeks after a fatal mid-air collision at Reagan Washington National Airport amid ongoing staffing shortages and safety concerns in air traffic control.

Some employees allege the firings were politically motivated and executed without following standard government protocols.

      Ha ha, we are already living the Jetsons.

      Many people have central heat and air, and a closed in dome environment of their home. Where they go to their closed in garage and get into their space fairing craft, proceeded to maneuver themselves to the tall skyscraper in which they pull into a closed garage controlled by central heat and air systems. They go to work for the day and go home. Now, of course many people work outside of the office, but that is never covered in the Jetsons.

      Everyone is always wearing space suit of some type to protect from the outside harsh environment.

        So why can’t we predict when I need to defecate and take that suit off in time since I don’t work in an office, and have none of these “heat and air” systems you talk about?
