Do you know what their orders were? Are you sure they weren't in their designated zone? Or are you just mad because it was Kid Rock?

Do you think that enlisted personnel that are in charge of expensive equipment are micromanaged to that level? Aircraft are given a zone they should be operating in and I doubt they went "awol." The only reason this incident matters is because they flew next to a person with somewhat popular social media. Hell a friend of mine did basically the same thing when he was doing some O-rides back in the day. Though he was in a V-22 osprey instead of an Apache.

Why? Why do people constantly claim that the only way to generate baseline power is by releasing fossil fuels and burning things?

Merely a scratch.

If google were just a search engine still, there wouldn't be a problem. But they are much much more now. Plus they suck at doing the thing they were supposed to do, i.e. searching.

Ain't no way America is going back to the moon.

Nationalize all power generation and distribution and then you don't have to depend on flawed self-reporting plus you have an enforcement mechanism.

If you care about greenhouse gasses, then you should be pushing for Zero Ethanol.

The dumbest fucking thing.

Great song. Though you seem to have missed the point.

That isn't actually NASA's fault. But if your main complaint about NASA is the money it spends, then you just might be a reactionary in desperate need of reeducation.

TIL I could still join the army if I were so inclined.

 

The idea of "student loan forgiveness for entrepreneurs" is something I noticed 10 years ago during Hillary Clinton's uninspired campaign for president, even before Trump entered the arena as a serious candidate.

Looking at a few search-engine hits filtered for only 2015, and I see the following article. There are a few other derivative articles with same idea.

https://www.nbcnews.com/better/careers/helping-millennial-entrepreneurs-conquer-student-loan-debt-n408636

But basically the idea of this group of young "entrepreneurs" who were saddled by student loans deserved special government attention. Especially from the Clinton campaign.

Kind of weird, but they had a campaign full of weird shit, like Russian Drone submarines, or a no-fly zone over Syria, or the declaration that universal health-care "will never ever happen."

But then 4 years later after Clinton was humiliated, we have her heir-apparent Kamala Harris talking about the same oddly specific policy: "According to her plan, Harris intends to give student loan debt forgiveness to Pell grant recipients who successfully open businesses in underserved communities and operate those businesses for three years."

https://psmag.com/news/kamala-harris-student-debt-forgiveness-plan-part-of-proposal-to-support-black-entrepreneurs/

And now it's 4 years later, and we have a very old representative of New York City, Nydia Velázquez introducing the same policy!

https://democrats-smallbusiness.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=4769

Who the fuck is pushing this policy? Who is it for? Why are Democratic Politicians so fixated on this fucking worthless extremely narrowly targeted policy? It's been 10 years, and this policy keeps coming back almost as a slogan. Why?!

 

Garbage Island full of garbage people thinks cars prevent sexual assaults.

 

A pretty standard pro-environmental piece, however I do appreciate how it calls out the "German Green Party," which is obviously just an astro-turfed political party funded by the coal industry.

And of course the criticism of about the farce of Carbon Capture is spot-on.

 

A growing number of Senate Democrats appear open to making it harder for migrants to seek asylum in order to secure Republican support for aiding Ukraine and Israel.

This is what the democrats stand for. Unlimited funding for the MIC and border-control, but social issues are not a priority.

Stop voting for the parties of Capital.
