The Federal Aviation Administration is actively recruiting workers who suffer “severe intellectual” disabilities, psychiatric problems and other mental and physical conditions under a diversity and inclusion hiring initiative spelled out on the agency’s website.
“Targeted disabilities are those disabilities that the Federal government, as a matter of policy, has identified for special emphasis in recruitment and hiring,” the FAA’s website states. “They include hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism.”
“Do you want to fly in an airplane where they prioritized DEI hiring over your safety?,” tech billionaire Elon Musk wrote on X last week. “That is actually happening.”
I say, flying could become a lot more fun in the future.
Is it a bird?
Is it a plane?
Is it superman?
Who cares?
Life is short, enjoy while you can.

I spent years in the Social Services working with people who had learning disabilities and in those days they were just ignored except for attendance at Day Centres.
At last they are being recognised and a myriad of jobs are being made available to them.It warms my heart to see many who have taken up acting and even modelling and making a name for themselves.It'a about being recognised and accepted into society.
Albert Einstein had an intellectual disability and look what he achieved.Stephen Hawking springs to mind also.
Stop being so pessimistic, smile.
Just made me think. There are a few of us that have never really lived life to the extremes and back. Those are the types that are oblivious to how easy 'errors' come crawling in. Doesn't matter what or who one is, life has a tendency to dish up some amazing times.
Some might call it a 'recipe for disaster '
Chill pal, quit the depression, show em who's boss.
Just wanted to put one on your face and seems like I succeeded
I hear when passengers are boarding they must produce a 'certificate functionality' of the now compulsory parachute which will be part and parcel to the purchased ticket.
Survival of the fittest.

These days you can choose Bible or Parachute.
