    That is not luck, that is by design, there’s a lot of engineering done to ensure airplane crashes has as high survival rate as it can. Unfortunately, there’s no such design on the political system as a whole.

    People are already not surviving, literally and figuratively, the time has long since come and gone to “hope” the problem isn’t real. The problem very much here, and it is absolutely going to kill us unless we do something about it right fucking now.

    I vote we let Boeing design a brand new plane for Trump. Make sure it has all the bells and whistles. Add a co pilot seat for Musk.

      Your mention of a co pilot reminds me, Boeing should add AI to such a vehicle! It would surely enhance Trump’s experience.

      So much so, it should be tied directly into the flight controls, to make sure it’s as smooth a ride as possible.

      The plane was Bombardier, not Boeing. Bombardier is Canadian even. But l don’t think the plane was any cause of the crash as i laid it in other comment in this thread

        The CRJ line have always had pretty shitty safety records (comparatively speaking). I try to only fly Airbus, but I’m about 99% resolved to not fly anywhere under Trump’s FAA.

        Canadian manufacturer, but took off from Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. I assume a maintenance issueis the cause, but that may be a poir explanation.

          It is a poor explanation, because all signs point to pilot error in manual landing compounded by weather. 33kt cross wind gusts, coming in fast to accommodate for if the gusts disappear, and not flaring soon enough and not leveling out because of crabbing the cross wind which was blowing snow across the runway giving poor visibility of the runway itself. But we’ll see the investigation results.

        Both: Airlines from other countries refuse to fly in US airspace because of dangerous ATC and planes from the US are refused entrance in the airspace of other countries because the FAA isn’t trusted to enforce proper maintenance schedules on planes from US companies and other countries don’t want the additional cases of planes falling from the sky or crashing on landing that would result from de facto unregulated air travel safety in the US.

        Also Boeing sales would suffer if the FAA was officially deemed in other countries to not have equivalence with their local air-travel regulators when it came to oversight of plane manufacturing because it wasn’t actually doing the job of preserving the safety of air-travel.

    Americans will never see any real progress in their lifetimes as long as the Democratic party in its current incarnation stands intact.

    Conservatives are by their nature evil and reactionary, but also simultaneously eternal and temporary. They are a society’s dead skin being shed before the new form emerges, its cocoon of petulant narcissism refusing to accept reality.

    The problem with neoliberal Democrats is that they don’t realize that they’re conservative too, and as such must be shed.

      Blaming Dems, when we could have had so much progress because of them since 2000 if gore had been granted his win, is the reason we got trump.

      People and posts like you and yours are part of the problem. You spend all your energy fighting the only party trying to help you at all right now and for the past 25 years.

      This isn’t about Dems this is about shortsighted electorate like you.

        Yeah they’ve been doing a bang up job of it.

        Literally every tactic employed by Trump could have been employed by a Dem who actually wanted to enact positive change, as well as expanding and packing the supreme court with loyalists. You know, if they didn’t have dementia and weren’t being “Weekend at Bernie’s’ed” by party functionaries.

        This isn’t about Dems this is about shortsighted electorate like you.

      Keep a dream journal and write down anything you remember immediately when you wake up. Re-read them before bed and it trains your brain to remember more detail. No point having lucid dreams if you don’t know about it afterward.

          …what? Who? 🤨 Trump? Of course Trump is heavily invested in Israel; Israel kinda-sorta advances Western culture/values in the Middle East & is massively propped up by the United States. I believe Israel would have a hard time existing without US support.

          Not saying it’s a good or bad thing, but calling it as it is. Trump is, indeed, intimately entwined with Israel.
