The Federal Aviation Administration created the problem by relocating Newark's air traffic control operations from the understaffed N90 facility on Long Island to Philadelphia in 2024

Who was president in 2024? Biden or his aides? Either way, this predates Orange Man.

Comment Re:the party of small governement (Score -1) 333

I can play that game also.

This is what Democrats have done.

1. Immigration Policies and Border Security
Ending the "Remain in Mexico" policy and halting border wall construction, which Republicans argue has led to increased illegal immigration and border insecurity

2. Handling of Biden’s Mental Fitness
Downplaying or disputing concerns about President Biden’s mental acuity, especially after the special counsel’s report raised questions about his memory and cognitive state

3. Government Spending and Inflation
Passing large spending bills (like the American Rescue Plan and Inflation Reduction Act), which Republicans blame for driving up inflation and increasing the cost of living for American households

4. Electric Vehicle and Green Energy Initiatives
Committing billions to electric vehicle infrastructure and green energy projects, which Republicans often criticize as wasteful or ineffective (e.g., $5 billion spent for only eight EV charging stations)

5. Broadband Expansion Failures
Allocating $42 billion for broadband expansion with little to no tangible results, leading to accusations of mismanagement

6. Afghanistan Withdrawal
Overseeing the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, which Republicans see as a failure of leadership and planning

7. Handling of Border Crisis
Providing resources and support to undocumented immigrants, including flying them to different parts of the country using taxpayer funds

8. Approach to Law Enforcement
Supporting criminal justice reforms and calls to "defund the police," which many Republicans argue undermines law enforcement and public safety.

9. COVID-19 Mandates
Implementing strict COVID-19 vaccine and mask mandates, which Republicans often view as government overreach.

10. Gun Control Efforts
Pushing for stricter gun control laws, such as universal background checks and assault weapons bans, which Republicans see as infringements on Second Amendment rights.

11. Abortion Rights Expansion
Advocating for expanded abortion access and opposing state-level restrictions, which is strongly opposed by many Republicans.

12. Judicial Appointments
Appointing progressive judges to federal courts, which Republicans argue shifts the judiciary to the left and undermines conservative legal principles

13. Student Loan Forgiveness
Proposing or enacting student loan forgiveness programs, which many Republicans criticize as unfair to taxpayers who did not attend college or already paid off their loans.

14. Tax Increases
Supporting higher taxes on corporations and high-income earners, which Republicans argue stifles economic growth.

15. Climate Change Regulations
Enacting stricter environmental regulations and rejoining international agreements like the Paris Climate Accord, which Republicans often see as harmful to American businesses.

16. Handling of Parental Rights in Education
Supporting policies that Republicans argue reduce parental control over education, such as promoting certain curricula or gender identity policies in schools.

17. Voting Law Changes
Opposing voter ID laws and supporting expanded mail-in voting, which Republicans claim undermines election integrity.

18. Favoring Progressive Social Policies
Supporting policies on gender identity, transgender rights, and diversity training, which many Republicans view as divisive or contrary to traditional values.

19. Handling of Foreign Policy
Being perceived as weak on adversaries like China, Russia, and Iran, which Republicans argue emboldens U.S. rivals

20. Partisan Approach to Legislation
Refusing to compromise with Republicans on major legislation, leading to increased gridlock and polarization in Congress

Let's throw in Drag Queen Story Hour, Nancy Pelosi's amazing(but totally above board) investment record, and remember how in North Carolina aid workers were directed to skip houses with Trump flags.

Comment From 1 anecdote to another (Score 2, Interesting) 67

Well, since the article wants to use an anecdote of the temperature in Svarlbard of near 0C, I'll use one of my own.

Where I am, along the 49th parallel, in the southwest of BC, the normal temp for this time of year is about 8C, now it's -7C, with a real feel of about -20C. I hate it and I would much rather be in Svarlbard right now. My furnace is running 24/7 almost to keep the temp near 21C, burning natural gas. Also, I have to warm my vehicle up for about 10 minutes, burning more gas. So I have to waste time and money, and use more fossil fuels. I think some warming is good.

P.S. I hope my palm tree survives thiss fucking cold snap.

FFS.

There is no such such thing as hate speech, there is only speech. I HATE people that don't appreciate FREE SPEECH.

Disinformation/misinformation only matter when there is intent to defraud, anything else is a lie or a mistake, and lying isn't, and shouldn't be illegal unless you're on the stand. Get a grip
