So passengers will now hear, “Good evening fellow people, I am your Captain, my pronouns are Vi and Er, and I self-identify as Saint Jerome’s left big toenail”?
THE underrepresented minority created 95% of civilization.
The other 85% of the world’s population can’t even begin to fathom how totally feral, primitive, miserable and brutal, their existence will become when we go our own way.
Heinlein had Lazarus Long put it fairly succinctly:
” Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as “bad luck.”
Various, and mostly hidden, news reports indicate a troubling shortage of one group. It seems that a great many companies are finding people capable of doing a job, and willing to work, are very underrepresented in those applying for a job.
Shockingly, it seems even the elitest of elite parts of the Indoctrination, er, Education System don’t prepare their graduates for work.
I’ve seen more than a few YouTube videos of Gen Z workers complaining that they have to work 8 hours a day, commute to and from work, and complain that it’s too expensive to rent apartments in the Big City which requires them commute,
Welcome to the Real World, kiddies! Work is always going to interfere with your social life, your workout schedule, and so on.
It’s past time to head to John Galt’s valley. The FAA thing has to be the the brainchild of Buttiplug. No one else could be so inept at such a critical function as to put imbeciles in charge of craft that leave and return to terra firma safely, routinely and daily. Waiting on the bus. ZZ Top. More than a song.
It is not materialism that is the chief curse of the world, as pastors teach, but idealism. Men get into trouble by taking their visions and hallucinations too seriously.

Underrepresented demographic?
Only because they’re the most undereducated, undermotivated, under ethical, demographic.
I say it’s about time the FAA gives equal opportunity to the most unrepresented population in flying: blind people!

Yes! I but is there more to life than work and sleep?
Productive, purposeful work; the magic wand that defeats poverty.
I see no viable future for my grandlings.
I think this country is going to replicate 1935 as far as the average citizen is concerned.
Who is John Galt?

What goes up,

Unless it goes up very fast, long enough.

The same relevant answer, albeit less obvious, for what will happen when those machinations and machinations attempt to put DJT in jail…
