#1 The suits prevailed and turned it into just another air transportation company grown beyond its capacity to deliver.

#6 I saw on the television at the gym this morning that he is asking people for suggestions and said that he is open to anything.

It is hard to imagine a worse declaration of complete incompetence by the "Secretary of Transportation."

#8 Pete is an icon more so than a leader. The media personalities venerate him. We profane him. The real issue is that they probably let him chose his own staff. Alternatively, competent people identified that he was unqualified and uninterested and stayed away. Regardless, he will not be well served by soliciting ideas from the entirety of the American populace as workable suggestions will be less than 1% and more than half of the submissions will be crazy of malicious.

#11 Transportation

What transports as, gaily, that man
With that name showed us, daily, his plan...
And his can, to distract us!
The endgame? He packed us
In! Why? "To Move Man." Cue the banned.
