Interesting, the entire #us #air #travel #system #notam run by the #faa was #halted due to a #corrupt #file that made its way into their #backup https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/faa-g..

We're yet to see whether #china 's #ccp are *actually* #cracking down on #pollution after they apparently #jail #steel manufacturers for #lying about #air #data - something the #ccp themselves do: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/c..
