This video discusses the problem regarding the way FAA treats mental health from the perspective of a pilot who isn't allowed to fly anymore due to temporary complications caused by an IUD.

FAA also have a problem with its ATC branch. Basically they lack fund, workers are overworked, overstressed, tired and procedures are not always safe (visual app for liners, not strong enough phraseology).

This will lead to more deaths and no, it will not have to do with the skin color or sexual preferences of the ATCO.

(+ FAA had a problem as a regulator, see what happened with Boeing)

No indeed, obviously it's because they were dwarfs!

Well yeah, it's hard to see the radar screen or reach the rudder pedals if you are a dwarf.

I am a blind air traffic controller and even I can see that it would be difficult.
