Likely had nothing to do with the government shutdown, but you already know this. 

Let’s see what the NTSB investigation says, I wonder if several missed checks might have any impact on the people doing it.

What missed checks are you specifically referring to?

Is this bit or are you just this dumb? Every civilian in the federal government except for some LEOs have missed at least one paycheck. The NTSB team that will be deployed hasn’t been paid since the first week of October.

*Anastasis* why did they do that, are they not getting paid or something. I’m posting in a shut down thread and know things *anastasis* 

That had nothing to do with this crash. You know that. You know that FAA safety checks and NTSB financial checks had nothing to do with that. I understand that the propaganda comes so naturally to you that you don't even perceive it. Yet you are propagandizing multiple threads across the subs on this forum.

This is what I posted on the DT on this topic:

To clarify— I don’t think it’s an ATC problem. The fallout will be general jitters, demands to do crazy things like pay the NTSB that responds, etc. It’s a little jolt of “the government does things you need.” 

You’re not interesting or clever. You spoil every thread you post on outside the Food Forum. You’re so contrarian and broken that you can’t begin to have a coherent discussion, it’s just endlessly playing the same shit that you think is somehow enlightening.

Never stop propagandizing. This is what you posted. You are not being clever.

I’ve told some people in person that it might take a plane crash to reopen government. Tracking the fallout from this.

Accurate, that is the post I clarified. Most of us on this forum have discussions, ask questions, clarify, and maybe find a meme or two. I realize that is less engaging than lurking at the bar long after colleagues have left the happy hour to look for openings to threadshit. You won your one person game, good job.

Love getting lectures on the discussion board's purpose from the aggy that showed up here after many of us have been exchanging on these forums for going on 20 years.

You’re wasting your time. We all have figured this out months or years ago.  It’s like talking to a bot that doesn’t understand when he’s been beaten and keeps coming back with the same arguments that already lost before.

The real fun parts happened here between Jan 2017 and Dec 2019. 

You must have memory holed that Biff.

I read somewhere today that there is something like 6.2T in deposits at major banks in the US - That's crazy to me, how much of that is fucking cash advanced on debt? there's only 2.4T dollars in circulation. 

We are in pure funny money land. 

Lol try telling that to the business board - you'll get called a friend of Castro for noticing how much infationary debt the oligarch class has taken out on their paper value stonks

I don’t think either of those were by consensus considered “2024 truisms”.  
 

That’s basically a straw man argument and while we should be happy about the results last night, we still have every significant lever of power in the hands of Republicans for the foreseeable future.

I don’t think anyone knows anything except for people are fucking stupid and unpredictable. I think there’s as much chance of dotard and the Rs winning again in 28 as there is the Dems sweeping the swing states. It’s all up in the air and there isn’t enough data or polling in the world to figure out what’s going to happen. I’m just looking out for me and mine and letting the chips fall where they may.

Trump is the crazy ex they can't quit for a large chunk of this country.  They miss him when he's not in the White House, but then he lights everything on fire and everything goes to shit and they remember why they broke up with him in the first place.  As long as he's in office, he reminds people weekly of how terrible he is and they don't fondly look back on the good ole days that only exist in their head.  Trump in power costs Republicans elections.  It's when he's out of office that he helps them.  It doesn't make any sense unless you look at from the crazy ex angle.

So there's going to be something really extraordinary based on the SCOTUS arguments this morning.  The Supreme Court is going to hold Trump's tariffs to be unconstitutional.  Because duh.

But what happens then?  That decision isn't going to come out until March.  And so what happens in March to all the money that has been collected from April 1, 2025 to March 2026?  I don't exactly know how that's going to work, but one would assume that illegally collected taxes are going to get refunded.

But therein lies the rub: to whom will the taxes get refunded?  Presumably to the importers who directly paid the taxes to the Government.  So that is to say companies like Apple and Ford will get huge checks from the federal government.

But as we all know, Apple and Ford haven't been just eating the cost of those tariffs.  They've been passing them along to consumers.  So are they going to pass along that huge check from the federal government sometime next year?  Fuuuuuuck no.  They're going to take that windfall and buy back shares or distribute it to shareholders.

In other words, that SCOTUS argument is setting up an absolutely enormous wealth redistribution from the consuming classes to the investing classes sometime in 2026.

Maybe that was the plan all along...

Just divide it up 340,000,000 ways and pass it out

To collect your Trump Tariff Refund, simply create a Trumpcoin account* for each member of your household, and allow 180 days for processing.

*$9.95 monthly account fee and $4.99 transaction fee may apply.

First theory I've read about the tariffs that actually makes sense.

Good thing I'm an importer/exporter. Unfortunately, I've been focusing on the importing and quitting the exporting when I could be doing both.

So companies should now lower prices that went up because of tariffs, right? RIGHT?! (I know they’re not)
