Duffy voting against FAA funding in 2019 makes him the wrong guy to fix the ground stops

Lived experience sits next to the community vote. Official sources never override either.
After Thursday's nationwide FAA ground stop, old posts are resurfacing showing Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy voted against a 2019 bill that funded FAA operations during the shutdown. Now he's asking for $50 billion to overhaul the system. One side says that's hypocrisy and he has no business running the fix. The other side says a shutdown-era vote from 7 years ago has nothing to do with decades-old telecom gear failing in 2026. Fair criticism or just dunking because it's trending?

the outage was ancient copper lines and radios. that stuff was rotting long before any 2019 vote
both can be true. old gear failed AND he voted against funding the people keeping it alive
