Part of the Affordability Crisis is right here!

242 cities have entry-level homes valued at $1 million dollars or more---up from just 80 cities before the Pandemic.

Huang on Presidential advisory council March 2026

President Trump appointed former Nvidia CEI Jensen Huang to a presidential advisory council on tech policy in March of 2026.

It is also possible that some kind of Solar Event caused the problem today too

However, at present I think this is possible but unlikely because of the way it all happened. However, if they thought a solar event was going to hit earth this is also what they would do. However, those who know how to fly smaller planes that use wires to control surfaces could survive when their engines cut out from such an event if they know how to drop their noses of their planes like people flying gliders do in order to not stall the wings of their planes. However, they would need to find some place to land like a beach or water or a freeway, road or airport.

  • It's possible that 8,500 to 12,000 jet passenger planes would crash on earth during a Solar plasma event like the Carrington event
  • 44,000 Flights a Day in U.S.?

    There are about 44,000 flights carrying more than 3 million passengers managed by the FAA's air Traffic Organization every Day! 

    From the FAA. 

    Is the Microsoft Outlook problem related to the U.S. Groundstop? Maybe.

    However, I don't think anyone is actually going to tell us the real problem. For example, if this is terrorists and they find out who did this they might be dead by tomorrow morning because this is how the U.S. government does things Because of the extreme nature of this event.

    But, I don't think anyone is actually going to ever tell us the real cause of this problem ever for about 1 million good reasons.

    For example, it could have been:

    A Solar Flare because they have been happening this year a lot especially because of all the high Altitude communications not working which possible means GPS satellites and maybe Star Link Satellites compromised.

    It could be Iranian Terrorists who figured out a way to take revenge on the U.S. for what Trump has done to them. However, I think it is unlikely to be Iranian terrorists because Trump's so crazy he might nuke all 90 million Iranians permanently off the map in response.

    Also, it could be the AI called Smart that just got installed in FAA Air TRaffic Control computer equipment. 

    However, the problem I would see with putting AI into a system not reverse compatible to a system also sometimes using antiquated Floppy drives as noted at some airports such an AI might scramble non-reverse compatible software completely off the map to be completely undecipherable in the process.

    It's part of the Reason that things like TCP/IP exist to make all different operating systems compatible (at least as far as Internet Communication worldwide works so that literally all Internet Operating systems worldwide can communicate effectively.

    There MIGHT NOT BE anything like this at the FAA which is likely one of the causes of this problem to begin with.

    It's just too hodge podge of a system sort of like a Rube Goldberg destined to fail.

    One Science Reporter said that the FAA system is: "like attaching a Rocket ship to a Horse and Buggy dating back to the 1940s."

    I think this is the best assessment I have heard for anyone yet! 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    U.S. Ground Stop for All Passenger Planes in the U.S. Also, Ground stop for all flights from Europe to the U.S.

     
    I don't think I have seen anything like this since 9-11 when any plane flying would have been shot down for a day or so then.

    AI Overview
    A nationwide U.S. ground stop was issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on November 13, 2026, halting all departing passenger flights across the country due to a critical telecommunications and network router outage.
    Key Details

    • Cause: A telecommunications and network router malfunction affecting air traffic control systems. Federal officials confirmed it was not a cyberattack, and planes already airborne were allowed to continue to their destinations and land normally.
    • Impact: Thousands of flights were delayed or canceled, leaving an estimated 300,000 to 400,000 passengers stranded at airports nationwide. Major hubs like Chicago O'Hare and Reagan Washington National approached or reached capacity as gates and parking areas filled up.
    • Exceptions: Certain regional and specific operations (such as flights within Alaska, inter-island flights in Hawaii, and some select routes) experienced varying local statuses, though major domestic carriers like Delta Air Lines and United Airlines halted departures.
    • Official Status: You can check current national airspace updates directly via the FAA National Airspace System Status.
