lightpole posted:Not by an insurmountable margin that can't be overcome at some point in the next 4 years. Democrats need to create and push messaging touting their bill and GOP resistance, as well as socialist policies to build support. Yeah the fact that they were motivated enough to set what would've been the record should be terrifying. Most of them will probably continue to turn out. I don't think that's true of voters left of the GOP.

Dogs kill about 40 people per year in the US, pitbulls accounting for about 33ish (all of this is on average). For comparison, cows kill about 20 Americans per year. Bees get close to 100. The top of the list is deer with about 200 per year. Godholio fucked around with this message at 00:49 on Mar 10, 2021 |

The name thing is weird though...it's Robins AFB, in Warner Robins, GA but both are named after the same guy. And Warner was his middle name, so  .Edit: Hill AFB in Utah has a good museum as well. The highlight is of course the only SR-71C ever assembled (because it was assembled by welding the tail section of a crashed jet to a training device to make a full airplane).

piL posted:Also this, at least not directly. I don't think more pay is demonstrated to help here, especially since it would be tied to long term improvements post serving in these positions, but it does bring to light a potential contributing factor: what incentives are provided to flag officers to actually try and solve the issues that do cause the best and the brightest to leave? Can love of country or congressional mandate provide motivation to overcome beauracracy and institutional inertia? I'd wager no. I think most would argue that most of the best and brightest left LONG before attaining flag rank. Incentives can fluctuate based on manning and budgets, but generally they take one of two forms which may also overlap: signing bonuses, and gently caress you if you're in. Edit: Oh, Ricky.

Immanentized posted:Yeah to build off of this, he was using the Anti-Irish sentiment as an opening into exploring the categorical racist history of the US. It does share a root with idiots who go "IRISH AND BLACKS WERE TREATED THE SAME, IRISH SLAVERY", but for most people who are tuning into Biden's briefings it also can be used as a conversation starter into "yeah racism is and always has a thing, and here's what happened to people of your heritage (who look like you), now let's look into people who DON'T look like you and see how bad it gets. No, no. We have to be outraged.

CainFortea posted:Why? Because when it comes to filling out an SF86 or EQIP, admitting to minor infractions is rarely treated harshly. That's by design...you don't want people to start trying to hide things, because THAT is the real concern.

I'm not entirely without sympathy for those fired because the situation is dumb as gently caress too, but if I've got a loving gig at the White House I'm gonna play things a little safer than actively violating federal law even if the next guy up on the ladder (who is not involved in this process whatsoever) says it's nbd. It's flat out not up to him anyway. Edit: Jesus, Hannity. Not even hiding this.

Wingnut Ninja posted:I think an AWACS would max out at one carrier landing, and that's with a very broad definition of "landing". A landing followed very quickly by a ditching. Actually I wouldn't be TOO surprised if a good pilot could avoid destroying the landing gear. They're sturdy as gently caress. It took two over-limit hits to get the nose gear to collapse at Nellis.

pantslesswithwolves posted:I don’t understand why it took until 9/11 to harden the cockpit doors. As you note hijackings for monetary/political reasons were a common tactic and airline security/government types understood this, so why not just moot the whole thing by hardening the doors to begin with? Because ransom hijackings generally left the flight crew alone. The goal was to actually fly the plane somewhere and land it safely. If the hijackers were going to start executing hostages, the pilots were in the least danger on the entire plane. In hindsight yeah this is a stupid mindset but as mentioned this whole thing was pretty innovative.

piL posted:What is wrong with the following idea: taxing businesses based upon employee distance from work help with incentives for jobs with utilized commute programs? Havw it only apply to new hires, only after one-year of employment, businesses with over X employees, and certain categories of business. A program like this would probably need to be run at the city level (with state support) in concert with construction programs and neighborhood development programs to make sure there's actually places for people to move. Medium business owner and McDonalds franchisee both have little power to make sure that affordable human infrastructure like schools, businesses, etc or housing is available for people so any plan needs to include it. You don't see how this will massively impact the poor?

piL posted:Nope, it's why I asked. Because now you're effectively penalizing any potential employers outside of the local area, thereby restricting personal mobility and the opportunity to get out of bad neighborhoods or situations. Off the top of my head I'm thinking smart kids trying to get out of high crime areas, DV victims trying to rebuild their lives, or just people who don't like where they are but don't have the kind of cash to just up and move.
