Oh, like the bill that the Republicans voted down when Biden was in office?

No this one has more handouts for tech companies that bribed, I mean donated money to trump.
See how this work? Republicans, neo-liberals, and capitalist create a problem. Then fix the problem through private contracts and bail outs. Privatize the gains, collectivism for everything else.

We're looking into a way to blame it on a DEI policy. Please standby for bullshit.

Since the focus has been on the copper lines between the airport and the atc building, I assume their network links are just dropping and they don't know why. This could be damage from age or water ingress.
