@Mik said in USA is a "no-fly" zone:
Watching that this morning. This critical system doesn’t have redundancy?
Good point. After the Southwest debacle, it looks like the entire air transportation system is just a bunch of stuff kludged together.
It works fine, until it doesn't.

If it saves a single human life, we need to keep those planes grounded indefinitely.
Include bird lives.

And yet, you're silent about windmills.
