Do video game players make ideal recruits to be air traffic controllers? The FAA is targeting gamers directly in its new hiring push.

The Federal Aviation Administration is officially recruiting video game players to be part of the next generation of air traffic controllers. Part of that push has been accompanied by a new ad campaign aimed at gamers that uses video game footage and Xbox sound effects to make the pitch that players can earn a six-figure salary by applying their in-game skills to the real world.

Reagan really set us up for a lot of shit that came later.

Someone on Lemmy recently told me that was "great person fallacy." Like what the fuck? No it isn't. The man is directly responsible for a whole bundle of decisions which fucked the US (and the world) over for decades, and we're still dealing with the aftermath. I don't know why anyone would try to defend Reagan, and using an argument against hero worship to do it. Makes no sense...
