  1. Boy you're a stickler today. He's not an MD, that studied respiratory illness, liver disease or virology. Being a libertarian, I'm sure he would give you cancer treatments though, if you wanted them. Those silly regulations.
  2. ....and those things also shouldn't be a hindrance. History has shown, that given the chance, people WILL discriminate. The orange buffoon just glosses over that part completely, and throws a reverse racist Uno card. If they only hired white men, would it be because they're always best for the job? if so, then that CONFRIMS, that there's racism somewhere along the line, unless of course you hold the belief that white men are just naturally superior(aka racist). That's a pretty easy concept to grasp, even for the uneducated.
  3. I already know your stance is pretty much 100% lab leak, but why do you suppose Ratcliffe is still saying it's low confidence? He also said this, "I think it was important for the American people to see an institution like the CIA get off the sidelines and be truthful about what our intelligence shows and, at the same time, protect us from adversaries like China if they caused or contributed to this," he added. All I can come up with is the political implication of accusing China doesn't outweigh the benefit. So hopefully they are actually as sure as you are, and are taking appropriate measures. The very last thing we need is distrust, because there's a chance that we're not out of the woods with bird flu and other possibilities. Our enemies, that would conduct biological warfare, would love nothing more than a complacent science denying population here.
  4. It was also strange that at noon today, they were still trying to notify next of kin. I'm sure there could be reasons, but it's certainly strange. If they knew the cause of the crash, and told people, that would restore confidence. Safe travels to you.
  5. No, he's saying that you can still get the job if you're a minority that isn't up to par. That may be true, but of course he offers no evidence other than his incoherent ramblings, which is good enough for the cult. Now watch us find out the ATC is a white guy, that's been there for 20 years. I say that because even though he already had that information, he'd STILL make that stupid claim. That's why he loves the uneducated.
  6. I don't have to defend my punctuation. If you think people aren't concerned about flying after a crash, you're wrong. My point was that once the families were notified, more details, that could alleviate fears, were supposed to be shared.
  7. He's using hindsight on Covid, which is too convenient. The Spanish flu was the opposite, and worked via a different mechanism. It attacked the healthy more than the compromised. If it were Hanta virus, he would have literally been DEAD wrong in hindsight. The problem with Hep B is that most people, that have it are not aware they have it, and with the treatment protocol, the child can have a better than 90% chance of no transmission. Also, rates of acute hepatitis B infection have risen 50%-450% in states impacted by the opioid crisis. At the least, doctors should be informing mothers of these risks. Rand is neither a doctor nor scientist, so he shouldn't really have an opinion on this. Same goes for Kash Patel.
  8. Last night they were saying that information about the crash was being withheld until notification.
  9. Wouldn't it be nice if just once he attempted to back up any of his bs with solid facts. He's basically already blaming the ATC, and claiming he was a DEI hire.
  10. Alleviate some concerns people who are travelling today may have.
  11. You're absolutely right, but I'm also right saying the red south was actively fighting it. Good point that even the bluest of democrats could care less if Chinese people are making our goods in unsafe conditions for low pay as long as they're cheap.
  12. Why haven't they notified next of kin yet????
  13. No, you're right. Pete hasn't said anything smart yet, but also nothing as dumb as he'd have said if he was still working the Fox panel, either. I think in the interest of public good, the government needs to start answering some questions very soon. Every single person boarding a plane today likely has some apprehension.
  14. Here's what we got from Pete so far: "We do know on our side who was involved," he noted. "It was a fairly experienced crew, and it was doing a required annual night evaluation. They did have night vision goggles." The video shows all kinds of intensely powerful lights on the planes and the airport. Not sure how night vision goggles help, rather than hurt in that instance. Found this: Avoid bright lights: Bright lights can be blinding when you're wearing night vision goggles. Try to avoid using your device in areas with bright lights
  15. Don't bother to ask yourself WHY this country would have ever needed affirmative action/DEI hiring practices, and just focus on the problems it may have caused. Isn't that called gaslighting? 60 years ago, the GQP was fighting to keep POC out of their schools and bathrooms(much like they're doing today). I believe the ATC gave the chopper pilot the heads up about the plane's approach.
