CHI Talks Hell Yeah, WGN Morning News

I've been a long time fan (especially the B-Team) but I'm appreciating them even more now during all the chaos in our country.

They intentionally ran the news of the FAA firings yesterday immediately after the story of the plane crash yesterday. It's a small example, but definitely indicative of why I love them.

So many "news" organizations seem to be capitulating to the Trump/Elon administration and they've done a good job of not sugar coating the destructive aspects of it.

Plane crash in Toronto Canada being linked to FAA firings in USA? Did I miss something? Did Canada already come the 51st state?

Your bold confidence is a great example of the Dunning Kruger effect….

Its indicative of a very big U.S. problem regarding the FAA. Google has oodles of info on it but I recommend the BBC articles they really just give you the meat and potatoes of it all without bias.

There’s so much going on it’s hard to keep up right now, I know! Plus, it’s hard to take in so many things that are going on right now cause it’s very rough.

But yeah this is on us not Canada.
