They promised to furlough regardless of the help they're getting. I really wonder which airlines would survive cutting off federal aid. I'd hope Biden could figure out enforcement mechanisms, but at this point I think it is simply for the best that the funds be cut off. They're stealing at this point.

It's been reported before that Trump doesn't like there to be written notes of some of his meetings. To the point that he is reported to have ripped up some and ate them.

Nothing shady about the leader of the US Government not wanting a record of the things he said. Nope.

Here is the full quote:

quote:

Statistically, I look at our prison population and see that there is a disproportionately high number of African-American males in our prison population for crimes, particularly for violent crimes. So statistically, when a police officer sees a brown man like my Jude walking down the road — as opposed to my white nerdy kids, my white nerdy men walking down the road — because of the statistics that he knows in his head, that these police officers know in their head, they’re going to know that statistically my brown son is more likely to commit a violent offense over my white sons.” “So the fact that in his head, he would be more careful around my brown son than my white son, that doesn’t actually make me angry. That makes that police officer smart, because of statistics.

Holy Hell.

It's important to view the current economic situation as diverging hard in two opposite directions. We're in a simultaneous boom and depression, depending on the industry in question.

White collar businesses which can easily work from home (see: tech companies) are doing fabulous. Apple is worth over $2 trillion, for example.

Businesses which involve high human contact (restaurants, airlines, theaters) are absolutely goddamn hosed.

If our country did a better job securing basic dignity for everyone, the winnings of the booming side of the economy would be distributed in a way that keeps the depression side afloat. Obviously, we don't do that.

It's normal for this to happen on a small scale. Consider when the wide availability of inexpensive cars killed the horse and carriage industry, for example.

It's not normal for this to happen to something like half the economy all at once. We do a bad job with the small scale events, we're utterly unprepared for this big one.

So steel yourself to witness new heights of personal wealth adjacent to new lows of deprivation in the next few years.

It's not their first new flavor in 40 years. It's the first of their new flavors that they're selling in the US market. Which seems worse to me, honestly.

Trump takes credit for spicy McNugget in wild 2am tweet, "You know? Some say ... they say, I invented the spicy chicken nugget. No one knows more about chicken nuggets, believe me. I call Ronald, it was like 3am and he picked right up, great guy, tremendous guy, and said, "Yes sir?" and I told him, "Hey we've gotta make this happen, the nuggets, you know? they have no flavor" and Roland was "We'll get right on it."

And that's how Trump won the 2020 election and saved the US from the socialists.

Being the largest fast food company on the planet makes them LESS likely to be able to produce new products, not more. Think about the scale on which McDs produces and distributes nuggets.
