  1. Peso sniffing dogs at the border will soon be out of work.
  2. https://www.edpierson.com/ Just a straight shooter with upper management written all over him. I'd take him a whole lot more serious if he didn't have a glitzy website and a podcast to sell. Reeks of grift. And that doesn't excuse Boeing of responsibility for current issues. They are in it really deep. But, "i recommended they shut a factory down". give me a fucking break.
  3. Broadly, regulation to enforce safety and other standards is needed. Any regulatory system is going to have deficiencies. Making regulations more, "stringent" isn't necessarily going to address those deficiencies. So my answer is, it depends.
  4. The entire world is squeezing 15 pounds of shit into 10 pound garbage bags. Yes, bean counters and managing to quarterly stock reporting, JIT inventory, LEAN,....(insert business school jargon here) is a significant factor. Brain drain, short staffing and component supply shortages brought on by shutting the world down has that problem on steroids. Its everywhere, substitute components/vendors/processes are the status quo.
  5. I would speculate wildly. A bit from column A and a bit from column B
  6. maybe the pilot was communicating with a Mig-28?
  7. Yeah the difference does vary. I’m willing to endure the gas line at Costco when it’s meaningful. Then inevitably it gets close enough I just start using whatever is most convenient. Probably gone through a half dozen cycles personally in the last decade.
