If anyone reads that as a partisan take then they need to reevaluate their ability to remain objective
That's why I said up front we aren't going to discuss how we got here or why, it doesn't matter at this point (as I've said countless times, I don't think this was a good idea, like about 70% of the rest of America). We wouldn't even be discussing it all except for the fact that it's going to affect the airlines.
