Early this morning there was a nationwide ground stop at all airports for the first time since 9/11/01. The issue was an FAA computer system, and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has promised to get to the “root cause” of the issue (::cough:: “climate change” ::cough::).
Meanwhile, Buttigieg has been making the media rounds saying related issues aren’t really that unusual. Watch:

It seems like we’ve gone from “Build Back Better” to “S**t Happens” in just under two years.
We didn’t have theses glitches & complications prior to Biden.

The.entire.system.was.down. That's a bit bigger than a "glitch".

Now imagine the media/Dem reaction if Trump was still in office and the same thing happened.
Sure Pete. Glitches that shut down ALL US flights?
No, that does not happen "all the time". Just on your watch. https://t.co/2dcKOeP506

How long will it take before the White House is bragging about all the flights that were created this morning after the ground stop was lifted?
