A Wing, a Prayer & The FAA
Oh boy.
I really thought we might be seeing an end to the relentless gaslighting, confusion, and the infantilization of the American public. It felt like the new administration was filled to the brim with UFO disclosure advocates and truth seekers on various topics, not just this one.
I definitely jumped to conclusions there.
In regard to the recent “drone” incident in New Jersey, the explanation we received was, “Oh! That? That was just some authorized FAA drone testing. You know, just checking out… stuff. And more stuff. And a lot of other unexciting details we won’t share with you. But really, it’s all fine—no need to worry.”
Apparently, we’re supposed to be impressed by the longstanding professionalism of the FAA, which has always prided itself on excellence. What a noble institution! We should be grateful for such a condescending response. Don’t we trust the FAA?
Yet, just days later, this same agency’s negligence led to the tragic loss of dozens of innocent lives.
ARE WE REALLY MEANT TO ACCEPT THIS RIDICULOUS NONANSWER FROM THE FAA?
It sounds like you’re feeling really frustrated with the FAA’s handling of the recent drone situation and their overall transparency. The juxtaposition between their assurance about the drone testing and the tragic consequences of their oversight is certainly concerning. Many share your sentiments about wanting clear, honest communication, especially when public safety is at stake.
It’s disheartening when institutions that are supposed to ensure safety and transparency instead come off as dismissive or evasive. The calls for accountability and better communication are more than warranted. The public deserves to know what’s really going on, especially when it relates to matters that can directly affect lives and the trust we place in these organizations.
Hopefully, as awareness grows about these issues, there will be more pressure on regulatory bodies to improve both their practices and their communication. We need to keep the conversation going and demand the transparency that should be the standard, not the exception. What do you think would be a constructive next step to push for better accountability from the FAA?
