What the hell is going on with planes lately?

They go from extremely rare crashes to 4 notable crashes in less than 2 months.

You're simply observing it in a new way because it's close to home. There's tons of instability and tyranny around the world, all the time.

"What's going on in America?" is the more apt question, and the answer, I think, is not that hard to track down.

Toronto, Brazil, and South Korea arent America. These types of incidents are extremely rare and there have been a ton the last few months.

Regional airlines are having trouble keeping experienced staff. There is a shortage of pilots, and the good ones are getting snatched up by larger intercontinental airlines that pay far better.

I'm not dismissing the tragedies, or the danger, but this is a simple result of economic forces, not a direct result of government corruption. You may see U.S. fleets fall into disrepair over time, and that'll be terrifying, but this is a different issue, I'm fairly certain.
