Totally cool with them not being there. All of fleet week is just a waste of taxpayers dollars, and stupid propaganda.

Also if you happen to live nearby it’s very obnoxious how loud it is.

Buuuuut it is kinda fun, public, free to attend, and interesting for those who enjoy aviation and the like.

Plus we can have roughly 286 fleet weeks for the cost of a dictator's ballroom. Talk about a waste.
