Embarrassing on every level. I thought this was some AI joke meant to parody Sean Duffy, but no, it's real. Your tax dollars are being wasted on this sort of drivel.

Travel’s “Golden Age” is over — but we can usher in a new one if we all minded our manners.

That's the message from US Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy, who has launched a new "civility campaign" titled "The Golden Age of Travel Starts with You" ahead of the busy holiday travel season.

According to a U.S. Department of Transportation (DoT) statement, the campaign is intended to "jumpstart a nationwide conversation around how we can all restore courtesy and class to air travel."

It added: "This won't just make the travel experience better for the flying public – it will ensure the safety of passengers, gate workers, flight attendants and pilots."

If you looked up the phrase "falling upward" in the dictionary, where a person who continually advances in their career despite failure and incompetence, you'd see a picture of Sean Duffy.
