He's 100% correct. I grew up around White people from 11 to 18, and the degeneracy in the middle-class White community is no different from the hood, it's just plastered over with a shit to make it look nicer. It's all a facade.

So let me get this straight.

2021: Biden's infrastructure law puts $5B into FAA air traffic control facilities. That means towers and buildings. It doesn't replace the decades-old copper-and-switches network that connects them.

2023: The FAA hires Verizon for $2.4B to build that replacement network. Two years later it still isn't running. Project 2025 calls for spinning air traffic control out of the FAA and privatizing it if possible.

2025: DOGE fires about 400 FAA staff, including maintenance mechanics at 18 air traffic control facilities that were already short on technicians. Musk pushes Starlink to replace Verizon. Newark's radar and radios keep going dark because of old copper wire and untested telecom links. Congress puts $12.5B toward the fix and calls it a down payment.

June 2026: Air Space Intelligence wins a 12-year FAA contract worth up to $875.9M to build SMART, an AI air traffic management system. Months earlier, ASI's PAC donated to the campaign of Duffy's son-in-law. The award was competitive. ASI's Air Force deal was sole-source.

November 10: SMART goes live at all 22 Air Route Traffic Control Centers, about 50 days after its first launch over Washington. The controllers' union says it wasn't involved in the rollout.

November 13: An update hits the private network that links every center. The network reboots and crashes, the old equipment chokes, and controllers get bad data. The result is the third nationwide ground stop in US history: more than four hours, nearly 8,000 cancellations and 10,000+ delays.

Officials blame old equipment. ASI and Duffy say SMART had nothing to do with it. DHS says it can't rule anything out. Nobody has said what the update was or who approved it. And an earlier review had already warned that this network was no longer supported and that one failure could cut off an entire region.

Anyone who has shipped software into legacy infrastructure knows the appropriate playbook:
⭐️ Map every dependency.
⭐️ Test against real failure modes.
⭐️ Run old and new in parallel.
⭐️ Roll out in stages.
⭐️ Change one major thing at a time.
⭐️ Keep a rollback you've actually tested.
⭐️ Keep the operators in the room.

I suspect a lot of newer engineers raised on vibecoding have never learned this. Prompting gets something new on screen fast, but it won't teach you how a decades-old network reacts to an update at 4pm on a Friday.

Speed is not the metric. In aviation, reliability and accountability have to be built in from day one. Bring back the adults in the room.

[Isaac Hayes III @IsaacHayes3]

So let me get this straight. An A.I. startup gave to Sean Duffy’s son in law’s campaign for congress.

Then Sean Duffy and the FAA gave that same company a 12 year, $875M contract for their A.I. air traffic control system.

That same traffic system went live nationwide Nov. 10.

Three days later, the FAA had to ground all flights because the system failed.

Ok. Lock em all up.

@SecMullinDHS, you voted NO on this:

The 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act) allocated $25 billion total for airport and air traffic control infrastructure, including $5 billion specifically for FAA air traffic control facilities and safety.

[Homeland Dems @HomelandDems]

You brought the nation’s skies to a standstill. If you think Congressional Democrats will let you bury how this happened, you are sorely mistaken.

Preserve all documents and emails. Oversight is coming.

🚨 IMPORTANTE

Exclusiva de Reuters muestra el verdadero móvil de la operación militar que llevó a la captura de Maduro

La investigación reveló que una semana antes de la operación militar del 3 de enero, el vicepresidente JD Vance abordó la futura venta del crudo venezolano con un operador de la firma Vitol y megadonante de su campaña, allanando el camino para que Vitol y Trafigura recibieran sin licitación el monopolio de comercialización petrolera que ya les ha generado cientos de millones de dólares.

Registros de vuelo ubican el avión oficial de JD Vance y el jet privado de John Addison (operador de Vitol) juntos el 27 de diciembre en Bozeman, Montana, rumbo al exclusivo Yellowstone Club.

Según una fuente enterada del encuentro, Vance preguntó qué tan rápido podrían vender el crudo venezolano si EEUE tomaba el control del suministro.

Aunque Addison negociaba gasolina en EEUU y carecía de experiencia técnica en contratos internacionales de crudo, había donado 300.000 dólares a Vance en 2022 y 7 millones de dólares a comités de Trump en 2024 (el mismo año en que Vitol pagó 50 millones en California por un caso de manipulación de precios donde Addison fue señalado).

Recomendado por Vance, Addison recibió el 5 de enero (dos días después de la operación) la llamada del secretario de Energía, Chris Wright.

La Casa Blanca omitió la licitación pública y el 9 de enero Vitol y Trafigura ya tenían las licencias.

Con más de 200 millones de barriles exportados en lo que va de 2026, expertos estiman que los operadores ganan entre 3 y 3,50 dólares por barril (un margen de 3,5 % a 4 %, superior al 1 %–3 % habitual de Vitol). Ambas firmas mantienen en secreto sus contratos con PDVSA, y Vitol confirmó tener además relación comercial con NABEP, la petrolera de Alejandro Betancourt

Este reporte se suma a la filtración del informe de KPMG publicada ayer por The New York Times, según la cual Vitol y Trafigura concentraron el 61 % de los 12.260 millones de dólares ingresados a la Cuenta de Custodia de Venezuela antes de que Washington transfiriera casi la totalidad de esos fondos de vuelta al Banco Central de Venezuela

Es decir:

Una semana antes del ataque militar, el gobierno de Trump ya estaba coordinando en un club privado de esquí cómo repartir la comercialización del petróleo venezolano a sus megadonantes de campaña sin licitación pública.

12 Norwegian coaches whose athletes won close to 400 international medals describe much the same training week: mostly easy training, plus 2 to 3 hard days holding 3 to 5 intensive sessions, mostly at threshold and seldom to exhaustion.

Across 8 sports, 85 to 95% of training was aerobic endurance work, 80 to 90% of it at low intensity. Volume ranged from about 600 h a year in running to about 1,400 h in triathlon.
