I won't start any fake news, but I'll air negative opinions every single chance I get. I have a relative who is a commercial pilot. Any news about airline or airplane mishaps increases my worry about his safety. I understand that there are mishaps and small plane crashes every day, but since there has been news of this kind daily, since Thursday, on top of the takeover of the government and ousting employees, adding costs to imported items, threatening wars with at least 3 countries, I am not in a good mood. I don't want to be reasonable, and I don't want to try to see both sides.
