You have your head up your ass, keep the politics out of the news group.
this is an airplane group, keep it that way.

Unfortunately, politics affects our ability to fly.

The pressure that developers (the biggest contributors to state and
local elections) put on our airports affects us.

The trial lawyers certainly wield a lot of power at the federal level
and have become a new "robber baron" class that impacts the cost of
aviation (and a lot of other) goods and services.

The environmentalist lobby affects our ability to fly, through their
efforts ("noise," "safety," etc.).

In a benign world, we could keep politics out of it; unfortunately, we
can't.
