Ah, you mean the commercial aviation industry doesn't do a good job with short-term changes in consumer demand?!?

that would be in line with everything else the tech industry sells, especially given there's hardware lock-in on either side of the transaction (aircraft hardware on the airline side; satellites launched to satisfy demand on the telco side)

maybe an unpopular position on this website but i think the moderate dem focus on ICE training can be, with political pressure, the pathway to more fundamental reforms. rhetorically it is not too hard to move from “more training” to “turns out they’re untrainable and we have to start all over.”
