So when I see Chester Cooper talking about a black Bahamian team that will oversee safety of Musk's space "*garbage*" landing in Exuma, our most beautiful of waterways, and how great this is for tourism.... I know Musk will do whatever he wants and noone will interject, irrespective of safety concerns. Look at the Rubis "*we were bathing in toxic oil for months??*" in Old Trail. "*I could have lost my job if I spoke up*"... And the heralded Bahamian consultant they contracted, it sounds nice, but what skills are needed to oversee this operation, and does she have them, or is it all just nice sounding I worked at XYZ PR? Dont know the industry, dont know.

From what I see, the dangerous thing about Musk is he is silently removing people who hinder his business interests, irrespective of the downstream implications. To get blind sycophant support they call it, "*draining the swamp*: This is dangerous. We only need to look at the deep sea Titan explorer to see a similar tech forward, *ignore the pesky rules and protocols, get it out quick* innovator to see some of the darker implications. People died. And then all the experts spoke up post multi death, ~"*what he did was unsafe, protocols lengthen the process but there's a reason they're in place*"

**But I didn't "blame" Trump for the crash. Granted I made the assumption that people would understand the NTSB function and the implications of gutting the agency**

The NTSB are the people who do crash investigations. They use the findings of those investigations to adjust safety standards if necessary. If the entire staff are sent emails to resign telling them their service is no longer needed, **who will do the investigations? The 20yr olds from Musk's team? That would be a dark day for air safety**. The reference to "*the plane crash the next day*", was to say that it likely *woke* (ironic) them up to, *hey, we might actually need these skilled people*

Do you know who resigns first when everybody is asked to resign? The best people, not the worst and the lazy, because naturally the best have the best opportunity of immediate alternate employment.. That is the point.

Musk tried this same *fire everybody, costs are too high* at Twitter. Do you recall what happened in the early days of his takeover? Twitter suddenly and inexplicably started experiencing widespread outages. Who knew? The story now comes out that he ordered some servers shutdown without any kind of risk analysis and double whammy, he fired the people with skills and knowledge to adjust operations. Do you know what the ultimate solution was? He hired them back.

His strategy makes absolutely no sense. It makes no good business sense to intentionally cause months of chaos and instability to claim at the end of the day, months post chaos, look we're stable with less people.

I've met people who glory in "*getting lots of things done*" just to say "*look at all the things we've done*". It's never a good thing without proper context.

Well, we see what *Making America look great* looks like, basically taking away jobs from white middle class and working class people (oops we were targeting the gays, brown's and blacks), bumping up inflation through ill thought out tariffs thus making food more expensive , cutting programs that provide assistance to white working class families with disabled children (oops we were targeting gays, browns and blacks), firing the entire NTSB staff body responsible for keeping air traffic safe... but oops that plane crashed in Washington the next day so they may have had a come to Jesus moment...

"*there'll be a little pain*" he said..

Well if he does that to his red state, white supporters... I guess...

General comment, real estate is one of the most common methods of money laundering.

As a people we will applaude and worship anyone who has money. I'm sure if Hitler showed up he'd get the red carpet treatment if he offered 200 jobs... in a "factory" and gave out a few meals at Thanksgiving

Who paying for it? And is Clint Watson on board again?

"*The relevant senior officials will remain on hand during the launch sequence and launch and ascent. They are fully engaged to ensure all safety, regulatory, and operational measures are in place for the scheduled landing*"

They cant even stop Haitian nationals from burning down the pine forest... please.

Anytime anybody doing something risky chooses the Bahamas as the perfect place, think, "*wool over eyes*". Remember the Titan that also chose thecbahamas as the perfect training site. We gushed about thar too. "*what this mean for deep sea exploration tourism?*".. then it blew up

Listen the last people who will get anything is the Bahamas. They are all there to meet Musk hoping for personal enrichment. Musk just needs a place where he wont be bothered by people who care about pesky environmental laws

"*Cooper said...positions the bahamas*"

Just like the GB airport, "words". Here is what the most likely impact of positioning will be

"*However, debris from a failed SpaceX launch last month rained down, and fell on, parts of the Turks & Caicos.*"
