The US absolutely does have those planes. (That’s 1 example, here are others) But high winds are keeping most of them from operating (the winds are what is spreading the fires).

They are using helicopters, but those can’t carry as much.

I’m sure my insurance in the Midwest will go up to subsidize things, too. Never mind that we never have widespread disasters like this.

I mean, I think people should be able to make an informed choice to drink raw milk if they want. In my state it’s straight up illegal.

Edit: so people can drink alcohol or smoke weed, but raw milk is a bridge too far?

Ron was happy to cash a fat Netflix check for his bullshit memoir, now shocked he ignored all the signs Vance was an asshole.

She was targeted because it was spread falsely she had XY chromosomes and had high testosterone, not that she was North African. Rowling has had plenty of hate for white trans people.

Another thing MBAs have destroyed as they try to slightly increase profits.

Senator Brown is a great senator and literally the only statewide Democrat we have other than a few state Supreme Court justices (who will be out soon now that Republicans added party affiliation to the court ballot). He will be far better for America than Bernie Moreno.

This case isn’t about a fed, it’s a local official.

There are other rules governing most federal employees. This is only one specific federal criminal law.

People are way overreacting to this. This decision was 100% about a federal statute. Unaffected are the MANY, MANY state and local laws preventing state and local government employees from taking gifts.

Edit: for y’all downvoters, even the linked article states

In any event, the decision in *Snyder *is narrow. It does not rule that Congress could not ban gratuities. It simply rules that this particular statute only reaches bribes.

Or, better yet, do we need to embrace the idea that infinite growth isn’t possible, and adopt economic systems that do not rely on it?

And there is no constitutional right to bump stocks. They just ruled there is no current law against it. If there was a constitutional right to them, you couldn’t ban them even with a law.

I didn’t say he was asking where the ban is.

My point is, they did not rule a ban unconstitutional, since they asked where it was in the constitution.

That wasn’t remotely the basis of the ruling. It was essentially ruled that they don’t meet the definition of a machine gun in the law, which limits what the ATF can do. It was mentioned that congress can amend the law and ban them. They just haven’t.

Wealthy employers shrug over falling standard of living and lack of affordable housing and food

Landing overweight can be even more dangerous. The engine was shut down and they can fly just fine on 3 engines.

ULA is a joint venture between Boeing and Lockheed, however.

But, again, Boeing spacecraft is a very separate division than commercial aircraft.

They are also more expensive.

The biggest problem with leaving gas stoves is all the older homes that simply are not equipped for them. Many homes with gas not only lack 240v 30a outlets in their kitchens, they may have only 100 or even 60 amp service and may not be able to even add such a circuit. Upgrading to electric could easily cost homeowners 5 figures.

Bought my house just before the crash in 2007. Felt screwed over as I went underwater and was stuck with my 6.5% loan while interest rates and home values plummeted (and because my mortgage was privately held, no HARP refi option.

Finally after nearly 15 years not only go out from under water but built enough equity for a no cost refinance. Got into a 2.25% loan.

Sad part is, despite the lower rate, due to skyrocketing insurance and taxes, my payment is no cheaper

It’s a Boeing that has been flying for years. Maintenance staff forgot to latch the engine cowling. That is all.

Airbus used to have a way larger problem with this, so bad they had to redesign it to make it more obvious it wasn’t latched.
