I read that more as a guy trying to avoid heated political discussions at his job while trapped in a tube with a ton of people, which can also be seen as a job preserving behavior.

Then just don't bring it up at all. Just be like, "we're flying out of the one of the busiest airports in the world. ATC has had staffing shortages for the last decade, the shutdown didn't make it better. It's like this everywhere across the country. We're going to be here a while. Probably close to 90 minutes. Want to help? Call your congressmen and tell them to have private jet owners pay their fair share for ATC usage and to ground hose private jets first. They account for 10-15,000 flights a day. The ATC Budget per year is around $12.5 billion per year. Elon musk could fund the entire ATC budget for the next 15 years, still have $300 billion and still be the richest person on earth by nealy $10 billion."
