Bloomberg reports:

Donald Trump next week will send Congress a proposal to hand over control of the U.S. air-traffic control system to a non-profit corporation, part of a week-long push for his infrastructure plan, said Gary Cohn, the president's chief economic adviser.

The proposal, which Trump will release on Monday in an Oval Office ceremony and Rose Garden event, will kick off what Cohn, director of the National Economic Council, called the formal launch of the president's infrastructure initiative. Later in the week, Trump plans to travel to Ohio and Kentucky to garner support for his plan -- a key campaign promise -- to channel $1 trillion into the nation's roads, bridges, inland waterways and other public facilities.

    I don't care about the controllers because as long as the TSA stands between me and reasonably unimpeded air travel I won't be getting on any aircraft.

    I understand some people have to and I'm honestly sorry for them.

    I like to drive anyway and these days crossing the US border seems like a very poor idea indeed so driving gets the job done just fine. So far. Not that I expect that to last much longer either.

    Anyone's going to be looking at my private parts they're buying me dinner and providing sexy conversation at the very least. And it won't be another dude. Ever. :)

    Of course, if the TSA decides to only hire hot ladies who will sweep me into a room and have me walking out smiling... well then we can talk about it. Otherwise, the TSA can go fuck itself. Cuz it ain't gonna be fucking me.
