  1. 🤣🤣 Such poor airmanship it caused them to ground the entire fleet? Gimmafugginbreak. Both were matters of quality control - the lawn dart incidents were because of slapdash programming by Boeing and a failure to properly integrate multiple systems, compounded by regulatory capture. Not sure why you're seeing this as a grudge though, just laughing at how fierce the defense of Boeing was in light of their continued negligence towards their customers.
  2. I'd love to hear from one of the resident surly pilots to hear how it was pilot error that caused the mechanical failure
  3. I always get a kick out of folks claiming facts are political 😉😇
  4. Well at least the fascist sympathizers are honest that they don't give a shit about empirical fact and a history of fucking lying to prop up a fascist coup attempt. Look, NYT sucks dick. They have been at the heart of many yellow journalism incidents, and frequently "sell their soul" for access to power. Maga Haberman sends her regards and all that. However, fact still remains, fox is an instrument of the fascist movement. Using fox as a totem to equivocate ALL media as bald face fucking liars is an exercise in intellectual dishonesty.
  5. "Of course he lied! He'd be stupid NOT to lie! The fines won't be as much as he makes from the sales anyways"
  6. If you think fox news and NYT are in the same realm of journalism, then you need to disengage from the #bothsides machine. Fox owes over a BILLION FUCKING DOLLARS for libel and defamation, by jury verdict, that's been upheld across multiple appeals. And they're staring down the barrel of billions MORE in judgements. You're on a completely different plane of existence to equivocate the two.
  7. I flew a MAX8 yesterday to Puerto Rico, and I'm probably flying one back when I leave... Wooooooo thanks MacDonald Douglas for making Boeing sooooo profitable
  8. Dude it's amazing how upset you are at getting some (-1) internet points lol. You and your betters aren't doing yourselves any favors when you describe just being mean as "cloaky" lol. Just try to be less of a victim, yeah? You'll survive, I promise
  9. I think it's more of a "yes and" than the "or" as you're framing it. If they're buying up homes, then it's necessarily going to drive up prices for everyone by shrinking supply and aggravate the imbalance to further profit off of it. I'd argue it's because there's less people able to buy a house now than ever, and corporate power and wealth is at an all time high in America. They couldn't before, and now they can
  10. It never ceases to amaze me how triggered some snowflakes are by a neg
  11. If Mom & Pop LLC are buying their 25th SFH to let renters pay off and siphon off that wealth, they can fuck right off. It's ridiculous to allow investment firms to buy up perfectly good homes just to drive individual buyers out of the market and convert them into renters. Ending up in our current state of lolwtf inflated rent and home prices is a consequence of letting homesteads be converted from family property into private equity investment vehicles. It rips away so much stability from families and steals their opportunity to build wealth themselves.
  12. If your main arguments for why it's a good investment is "number go up" and fomo, then I'm not sure why this thread isn't in the gambling board lol
  13. Hey man after we did it to California with Enron, I guess it's what we deserve
  14. Weird that an Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy was the group to spot this and blow the whistle. Crazy that aggy sold their control over academic research and standards, faculty, students, curriculum, and budget to the Qataris. Those memes about needing high oil prices to fire their corch were no joke lol Jimbo is one hell of a drug
  15. I'm surprised that a measure to reduce prices to consumers actually made it through - how are they going to justify adding arbitrary fees to my bill each month if there's stability in the power supply??
  16. Counterpoint: as a millennial, I have only seen shit get progressively worse since 9/11 with little reason to be optimistic. I do agree that there is too much of "us" vs "them" but fucks sake man, "they" are measurably making my state and nation a worse place to live in. My representatives don't listen to their constituents unless they come with a 5 figure donation, and literally every company in America is only out to boost next quarters profits and exploit the shit out for their customers. And none of that is going to change any time soon, no matter how much people try and push. The monied powers that be don't want it, so our oligarchy won't change to be less exploitative
  17. There is nothing straight about that image lol. Is trump about to breastfeed him??
  18. One of the biggest challenges with validating the LK99 finding was how inconsistent their methods for creating it were, exactly along the lines of random untracked contaminations and whatnot. I hope more material science labs are able to replicate this finding - it would be world changing
  19. Unfortunately there's no room for that because snowflake righties reflexively defend Cruz and shout "muhCR!!!" to kill the opportunity for dunking and shitting on that jinx
  20. Wage growth is a fun number to toss in because it includes the top flight that are taking the lions share of wage growth by dollar. Sure, you can say "hourly workers got a 50% pay bump!" But going from $12 to $17 an hour ain't gonna pull anyone out of desperation and poverty
  21. It's not just trucks - I paid off my 2019 jeep Cherokee last summer and for kicks I looked up what a comparable car would be brand new, and it was about $12k more - a 30% fuggin price increase! That ain't inflation, it's automakers getting a piece of that sweet price gouging action
  22. I don't think raydog is still active
  23. Then they'll complain about how you're making everything political
  24. "Running back hoes" sounds like a Baylor NIL program
