Bro, they aren't even trying to hide the corrpution anymore!! The FAA airline stoppage story is a MUCH bigger one than the ground stop itself, and I only saw it once I started following the money and who gets paid... Here is what I found... The official line is that it was NOT a cyberattack and NOT a "nefarious act." US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy points at overloaded routers and old broken equipment. Sure we can take that at face value, because it matters for what comes next. Because on the SAME day, the White House went to Congress for 10s of billions of dollars to rebuild air traffic control, and Duffy pushed the number EVEN higher on camera. Both happen on the same day, a very public failure declared NOT an attack, and the argument for a VERY large cheque built straight on top of it. Whether the outage was engineered or was just the system rotting on schedule, the political result they are after is the SAME, the breakdown becomes the justification for MORE MONEY. The money is the whole point here, and it ends up in one place... The "brand new" air traffic control system contracts was handed in December 2025 to a single prime contractor, Peraton, a company owned by the private equity firm Veritas Capital, and chosen despite limited FAA experience. The full program is priced at around $31 billion dollars. Congress has so far put up only $12 billion as a "down payment." The rest is still UNFUNDED. So Friday's breakdown arrives as the pressure to approve the rest of the SAME program already promised to the SAME private contractor; Peraton. Most US airports are public, owned by cities and airport authorities, but the terminals and the systems get built by private firms, and that is where the billions flow, out of public failure and public money into private hands. So who are those PRIVATE HANDS benefiting most? Who ultimately gets the money? The prime contract went to Peraton, a private company owned by the private equity firm Veritas Capital. And who funds Veritas? Its investors are Israeli institutions: Clal Insurance $100M, Migdal Insurance $60M, Menora Mivtachim $50M, plus ~$150M from private Israeli investors, all in its at least $15.3 billion fund. Peraton’s lobbyist is Mark Bednar also sits on the board of the "nonprofit" that funded Sean Duffy’s TV show “The Great American Road Trip”. This is the question, and it needs to be examined by EVERYONE. A pressure tactic to MOVE public money into private hands, while America and Americans pay for it with 5,000 cancelled flights and the economic fallout from that many cancelled flights… The proximity is on the public record too, lobbying and personnel links running between the contractor and the officials now asking you to fund it. Americans ate the cancelled flights and a wrecked weekend. The money walks the other way, into private hands, and the whole thing is dressed up as an emergency repair. Who will investigate this corruption and conflict of interest? See the next set of ties in the comments. Follow for more... 𝗦𝗜𝗚𝗡𝗔𝗟, 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗡𝗢𝗜𝗦𝗘!!

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law under Buttigieg provided $5B for ATC ($1B/year). By end of FY2024, about $3B was spent on power systems, navigation/weather equipment, tower/TRACON upgrades (mostly smaller airports), enroute centers, and radar. A Verizon contract advanced communications networks. Hiring of controllers increased yearly, reversing some prior declines and adding to the trainee pipeline, though overall certified staffing remained short of targets. These built on the long-running NextGen program and addressed sustainment more than a full system overhaul.
