Interesting those numbers have largely not changed in 40 years. Honestly I was guessing that we needed way more ATCs since the strike because air traffic has increased so much since then. Do you happen to know why the need for ATCs hasn’t really changed?

I think when Reagan fired all the ATCs, they were temporarily replaced with military trained ones until they could hire and train replacements. But that was a time when there was significantly less air travel and less ATCs than we have and need now.

So maybe they might have the military take over some positions? There’s no way they could fill every single airport and I doubt that they even have the same training and skill set as commercial ATCs.

But having a military take over of airports is the kind of dictator move that probably makes someone like trump salivate.

I think the surprise here is that WiFi routers were not built with surveillance hardware in mind. At least at first.

If there was an option to buy a router with surveillance sonar vs a router without sonar, I’m sure most people would buy the one without the surveillance hardware. But unfortunately it doesn’t seem like anyone has that option if they want to use WiFi.

I wonder if it wouldn’t be easier to use helicopters to transport them? Or create a series of drones specifically designed to carry them?

If you look at the data, it tells you about 1/3 of those who are illiterate comes from foreigners so that is not surprising. But the largest demographic of illiterates in the US is white people lol

Also they are functionally illiterate. It’s a wide encompassing term that ranges from people who can’t read English because they just moved here to people who can only read basic words like stop and go or words they encounter often in life but not much more than that.

I would imagine many people who are functionally illiterate just go to work, watch tv, and sleep.

Unfortunately this is accurate. Half of adults in the US are unable to read past a sixth grade level. 20% are functionally illiterate.
