I've heard from my pilot friend and I think other pilots have said something like it, that the real reason for the crash is probably several factors. It's very unlikely there's just one thing. One of the factors is the airport's way busier and more dangerous and pilots have been complaining about it forever. Another is that pilots have said you don't want the helicopters doing too much there because they're going to be in the way. So now they've stopped the helicopter traffic there. So that was part of it. Some of it was maybe the training wasn't as good as it could have been. Some of it was the tower was ambiguous. So the thinking is it was sort of a perfect storm of a bunch of things going wrong in the context of it was easy for those things to go wrong. But if only one of those things had gone wrong probably you could have recovered. It looks like a bunch of things went wrong at the same time which was perfectly predictable because of the complexity and the nature of the problem.

So if you have an increasingly complicated flying environment, which they did, and a decreasingly small number of people who are working in the tower, which we did, see more traffic, more complexity, fewer people handling the traffic and the complexity, what are you going to, what's it going to be? I mean there's only one way that goes. So it was sort of inevitable but maybe this was the wakeup call to fix some of that.

But we cannot blame the female pilot and I completely understand why the family doesn't want to release the name because it would be a feeding frenzy if they did. Just a feeding frenzy. So let me say it again. I'm not in favor of blaming individual problems on DEI. That's going to be a losing proposition. You're just going to turn yourself into, you look like a jerk even if you're right sometimes. You'll probably be right that that's exactly the problem and the one individual is exactly the problem. But if you don't know that it's kind of messed up. It's kind of messed up if you don't know it.

So I think we can say DEI should destroy everything sooner or later because it's designed that way. But you can't say much about any one person in one act. Usually. Usually. Sometimes you will be able to but usually not.

Anyway the FAA is embroiled in a lawsuit because apparently they turned away a thousand applicants based on race. New York Post is reporting this. So a thousand applicants were turned away. Now these are the people who could have maybe been in that tower so they had the proper amount of employees working there. But I think this goes back to 2015 or something. It's an older lawsuit that's kicking around. So just know that you can draw a straight line between not enough people in the tower and DEI hiring. I think the straight line exists. I feel that that's demonstrated enough that you can say yeah at the very least, at the very least it's a reason there are not enough people working. At the very least.

All right. I guess Trump's going to put some tariffs on chips and steel and pharma and oil. That's all coming. And when he was asked hey won't that increase inflation now or relax the prices, because if it costs more for everything we import, well who's paying for it? Eventually those costs get, and not even eventually, pretty quickly those costs get passed on to the consumer. So if Trump puts a tariff on everything coming into the country doesn't that largely guarantee that well we get some, come from the tariff the government would,
