Part 5/9:
Contributing to the broader discussion on cultural and political priorities is a concerning report on government spending. Former Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who previously allocated approximately $80 billion toward DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) initiatives, is under scrutiny.
While this significant sum was invested in diversity programs, critics point out that essential infrastructure improvements, such as replacing outdated air traffic control systems, were neglected. Industry insiders and federal records reveal that despite the massive expenditure on DEI efforts, safety-critical upgrades in aviation have been delayed, leading to flight delays and safety concerns.
