On Trump

I was thinking the exact same thing before I finished reading your comment. That said Starlink most likely has most of the systems in place and would likely be the lowest better based on that alone. At the same time we do have federal laws about bidding on large federal jobs and those need to be followed.

Starlink is space-based satellite communications that is controlled by Musk. How will that help aviation? Are the FAA comm structure capable of adapting? How long of a time period, at what costs on an ongoing basis? Isn't Starlink for internet and phone calling? Will aircraft need retrofitting as well? Who pays?
Still needs bidding.
Conflicts of interest matter? Can and would Musk shut it off at will?

It's already being seriously considered. Senior FAA officials refused to sign on. No indication why Verizon is not good enough.

$100 billion is asked for in house to increase fund for deporting illegals.

How about we get the country they're being deported to to pay for the deportation.

Kinda like how Delusional Donald is gonna get them to pay for some wall.

FAA already has the contract with Verizon. Whoever is in charge wants to cancel it and just award it to Starlink.

How much worse can it get. Stock market is plummeting. House market is slumping, inflation is about to go up as the unemployment rate is ready to climb.

I may pass before portfolio recovers.
