…..I came across this article….and….well, you read it…..
TRUMPS TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT…..Hired more than 2,000 video gamers to train as air traffic controllers…..the recruiting ad told them…. “You’ve been training for this”…..
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy told CBS News at Newark Liberty International Airport….. “A lot of what they do playing games …….is what they do…..controlling traffic in the air….many of the current trainees, (he added,) started out as gamers”……the campaign launched in April with the recruitment video…..that opens on an Xbox logo and cuts between game footage and control towers……Fortnite is in it…..the FAA’s pitch named the skills it wanted….multitasking, fast decisions under pressure, spatial awareness…..the skills gaming builds…..it argued…..first-day applications ran at more than double the agency’s previous record…..by the department’s own count……on August 9, Duffy declared victory in capital letters….. “In April, we launched a NEW CAMPAIGN to recruit video gamers as air traffic controllers…..and supercharged the entire hiring process to get the BEST & BRIGHTEST in faster…..the results are HISTORIC…..
ninety-four percent of the year’s hiring goal met….he wrote…..the most controllers hired in a single year…..another 2,000-plus candidates…..he said……are in the pipeline behind them….the controllers on the job right now are guiding more than 80,000 flights a day…..the recruiting push came less than a month after two pilots died at LaGuardia…..when an Air Canada jet struck a fire truck that had been cleared onto the runway….. “These are people with very high cognitive levels…..they’re carefully selected……extensively trained…..and one of the problems is there is a shortage of 3,000 of them in this country right now”……former federal crash investigator Alan Diehl told NBC News after the crash……ah, ok….I got it…..what “got” is I have no idea because this is madness…..so this is a country that went on a recruiting spree in/on Fortnite……a freaking video game…..to recruit…..basically kids and other gamers?…..well guess what?…..I’ve played games….since Mattel came out with their gaming system Intellavision….and played a few of those land the plane on the aircraft carrier deck, at the airport, shoot ‘em out the sky games…..do a loop….and guess what?….yeah, big badda boom!….crash and burn……game over!…..not the end result I was hoping for…..hired is definitely not certified……and every recruit now faces the FAA Academy in Oklahoma City……then years of training before anyone directs live traffic on their own…..and in May…..the FAA’s own workforce plans to cut its controller target for the year….…from 14,633 to 12,563…..and that stupid Secretary says the results are historic……historic?…..the country is still 3,000 controllers short…..no wonder planes are just missing each other and running into each other….firetrucks, random people taking a stroll down a runway….and then there was the plane trying to land on top of a truck rolling down the highway…..I’m writing and watching TV right now…..three planes almost said hello during takeoff and land on a foggy runway….two planes suffered blown tires because the wheels blew up…..nah, I’m gonna walk y’all…..see you when I see you when I get there….if I get there…..and then there’s this….
AMERICA NOW OWES….$40 trillion dollars….right, that’s a lot of coins….America’s national debt has passed $40 trillion for the first time….it took the country 192 years to borrow its first trillion….the latest trillion just took only five months….and this debt is now rising by roughly $90,000 every second….more than the typical American household earns in a year….and equals about $117,000 per person….it has doubled in less than a decade….the annual interest bill is around $1 trillion…..more than the government spends on defense and medicare…..yep, making it great again…..greatly in debt.
7 SECONDS…..And I’m not talking about Youssou N’Dour’s song…..man, I was so looking forward to the loss of gravity event and what would’ve/could’ve happened…..and August 12t proved you can’t believe everything ya hear….when all the splitter-splatter of falling objects ended, I had my day all planned out…..at 2: 20 pm, I was going to hang in our bedroom because the ceiling is about 7.5 feet high….in college I could high jump at least 7.2….so my drop down would’ve been about maybe one foot….the dining room was a plan B….since the ceiling was only about 6.8…..that idea did cross my mind but I was unsure about flying books circling around…..anyway,….then I would go outside to access the situation, already understanding it ain’t gonna be pretty…..and still look up for late arriving objects…..you know, busses, cars, a moose…..my main plan would be to secure and find a splatter who didn’t need their bicycle anymore and ride towards Nicole’s job….during my ride through my newly redesigned reality….I’d look for splatted police officers who didn’t need their gats anymore…..hey, there might be a few crazy survivors who might wanna act crazy…..for a second….hey, brother ain’t dumb….and I watched a lot of those films…..Black people always die last….”IF” we die at all….anyway,….take the guns, extra clips anything that’ll keep a MF off of me…. take a bulletproof vest….maybe two (just in case), hop back on the bike and keep on riding….when I’ve finally found Nicole (safe and sound and not freaking out)…..I’d find another splatters bike and we would ride back to our place….after looting the local stores, pharmacies, etc…..on the corner for survival supplies….we would definitely attempt to see if it’s possible to still communicate with the rest of the world…..and find out if our family members had survived…..that’s going to be nearly impossible to achieve since everything was going up….It’s a pretty sure bet all telecommunications went along for the ride…..anyway,…..once the two of us calm down, I’d go to the local main police station and empty the armory…..hey, I’m taking grenades, bazookas, AR’s-AK’s….sling shots….I might even take one of those armored things they use to crash through your house….yo, I’ve seen enough movies like this new scenario to know that might be a good idea ok?…..shit can get real crazy later on….and if the police stations had automatic anything I could use to survive….I’m packing it in my Nike bag….along with radios, laptops….you name it, I’m taking it all to survive….man, I was down for figuring this madness out…..like I said before, out of all the crazy stuff we’re dealing with right now…..that’s so unbelievable…..the 12th was something I believed would happen…..yeah I know, it does sound kinda morbid…..but look around you now days……DANG!….when you look at this possible scenario, there’s no way humanity would overcome the shock….once everything and everyone returned to the surface of the planet…..globally, this planet would look like one giant Jackson Pollack painting….global devastation, death, disease, the lingering smell of death, no governmental structure would exist, famine, secular control…..basically, no one would know what to do, unions will be formed, more chaos and control will be the norm and we’ll pick up right where we left….those who want to control the weak will exert what little power they have….until they can control it all…..maybe now you might understand why Nicole and I would be loading up early.
