Shortages

One year ago, Republicans stood before Congress and stated that there was shortage of air, traffic control operators, and that the DEI policies and workshops needed to go. They wanted money to go for hiring people to work in air traffic control that had nothing to do with DEI… pic.twitter.com/U303pK1roy

That’s how obsessed the left is with DEI, and how little they care about protecting the lives of fliers.

Conservatives should welcome this fight. Nothing better represents how evil DEI is and how antithetical it is to human life and American success.
