The gop leader sent all air traffic controllers another email urging them to resign after the tragic mid-air collision.

This email included this gem of dangerous stupidity:

“We encourage you to find a job in the private sector as soon as you would like to do so,” the email instructed. “The way to greater American prosperity is encouraging people to move from lower productivity jobs in the public sector to higher productivity jobs in the private sector.”

Federal firefighters with the National Park Service received this same email after risking their lives fighting the Palisades fire.

Daniel Wu broke that news in the Washington Post.

This gop administration is very dumb. They seem to be channeling their inner Crassus.
