People are starting to wake up to 'Cause and Effect':
- DT cuts aviation roles months ago, immediately there were 3x air crashes, lives lost.
- DT cuts climate data & weather service jobs, a few weeks after there are 80+ deaths as a result.
"..after mass emails sent to (NWS) employees urging them to retire early or face potential layoffs."

The image features a character with a stylized, anime-inspired design. The character has dark, spiky hair with a hint of teal on the left side. They have large, expressive eyes with a striking red and orange color, giving them a fierce and intense look. The character's ears are pointed and resemble those of a fox, adding to the animalistic theme. They are wearing round glasses with a thin frame, and their outfit includes a black vest and a bow tie, suggesting a formal or semi-formal style. The character's expression is serious, with a slight frown, and they have a unique earring on the right ear, which is a dangling piece with pink and white beads. The background is dark, which contrasts with the character's glowing eyes and highlights their features.

Musk said he'd form a new pol party called the #AmericaParty. Tesla shares fell Monday. Tesla SHs have wanted Musk to stay away from politics, esp after his stint at the so-called DOGE, which many have said damaged the automaker’s brand.
Musk left DOGE in May, which helped Tesla’s stock.
Now his reinvolvement in the pol arena is making investors nervous.
