I was just talking about this with someone I met a few days ago. How I never had a fear of flying before but somehow, this admin, has been able to create one in me. And I know it’s one of the lesser issues we should be talking about but it’s also insane we aren’t all talking about it.

I hate Trump but if he gave you a fear of flying, that's a good thing
Wanting to board unsafe aircraft is a major monke brain flaw in our species and there aren't many safe aircraft anymore as a result
The planes weren’t the issue (except some Boeing ones). It’s the air traffic controllers being let go! Most of the accidents going on right now have nothing to do with the safety of the aircraft but the airline traffic in airspace, particularly around airports, or the traffic of the runways.
An Airbus is about 100x safer than a Boeing in my view, but an Airbus still stalls at over 100mph because people's monke brains prefer speed and cheapness over safety
Accidents aren't as deadly in safer aircraft. A really well built private jet crashed into a tiny little single engine SR22 on the way to land in Denver Colorado about 4 years ago and both still landed with no reported injuries. But the SR22 has still had over 100 people die in crashes, even with its built in parachute
