As a retired airline Captain I flew into LGA and NY airspace hundreds of times. It is some of the worldâs busiest airspace. To have only one ATC in the tower at LGA is criminal negligance. Not only is the airspace crowded and chaotic, so are the ground operations. Sean Duffyâs FAA owns this 100%

People think rural America votes against its interests because they presume the rural poor and working class dominate politics. But they donât. Local boosters and business elites run things and the GOP serves their petty bourgeois interests very well.
