Two dead as planes COLLIDE at Arizona's Marana Airport just days after Toronto disaster

Marana Regional Airport is an uncontrolled field, according to the FAA.

***WHAT IS AN UNCONTROLLED FIELD?

An uncontrolled field is described by the FAA as an airport that does not have an operating ATC control tower.

Pilots use a common traffic advisory frequency (CTAF) to announce their position to other pilots who are in the airport vicinity. The pilot-in-command is responsible for maintaining safe operation from other aircraft. Pilots in these fields are required to comply with all FAA regulations, including minimum visibilities, minimum safe altitudes, and right-of-way rules.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are investigating.

Nearly 90% of mortgages are government-backed—this market isn’t real. The Fed STOLE the American dream

The housing market is a farce. It’s not some free-market system—it’s a government-run operation, and it’s propped up by handouts at every level. 90% of mortgages are bought by government-backed entities, repackaged into securities, then dumped into the market. The Fed? They own a third of these, distorting mortgage rates and inflating prices. This is no market; it’s a house of cards. When the government finally backs off, the crash will make 2008 look like a minor setback.

Here’s the ugly truth:

Government-backed loans control nearly 90% of new mortgages in the U.S. This isn’t the American Dream—it’s an illusion built on fake money. What was once a symbol of prosperity is now out of reach for younger generations, who are stuck watching homeownership slip further away. The government intervention has inflated prices, distorted the market, and created a bubble set to explode.

Why? It’s all driven by government policy, which was supposed to stabilize the market. Instead, it’s boosted demand and sent prices through the roof.

Let’s break down the mess:

Government Policies: Pushing more buyers into government-backed loans, inflating demand and driving prices sky-high. More people are stuck paying more than they should for a home.

Economic Downturns: The government became the only lender willing to take risks, but its grip on the market created a distorted, unsustainable system.

Low Down Payments: FHA and VA loans may look appealing, but they’re a ticking time bomb—lower down payments have only driven demand even higher, inflating prices even more.

The bottom line: The market is a sham. Housing prices are inflated, and young people are locked out. Government intervention has distorted the market, and taxpayers are on the hook for billions. This isn’t just a problem—it’s a crisis waiting to happen.

The American Dream is slipping through our fingers, and it’s only a matter of time before the bubble bursts. We need to rethink this entire system before it all falls apart.
