When the Sky Goes Dark
Listen, this isn't some distant political drama—this is about whether planes can fly.
The US Transportation Department just dropped a bombshell: if this government shutdown drags on, they might close airspace. Not because they want to. Because they have to.
Think about it. Air traffic controllers? They're working without paychecks. Safety inspectors? Same story. How long can you ask people to manage thousands of lives daily while their own bills pile up?
This is the collision of politics and physics. Planes don't care about budget negotiations. They need functioning systems, rested controllers, maintained equipment.
The shutdown clock is ticking. And unlike legislative deadlines, aviation safety doesn't negotiate.
