Why do Republicans want to live in a theocracy?


another example of Extremism playing tug of war with the moderates in the middle. 
 

It would be nice if they passed laws requiring they actually really teach math and science

Yup! This isn’t even a left vs right thing, this is a stupid protectionist thing. 

 

Yet the FAA spent millions creating a 140+ page document explaining and promoting its program to change NOTAMS from meaning "Notice to Airmen," to "Notice to Air Missions" because their view was that "Airmen" was a sexist phrase.

 

Ya. They spend their money wisely.

 

Should be privatized.

You mean this document? https://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Order/7930.2S_Chg_2_dtd_12-2-21.pdf

 

It's literally a couple extra paragraphs in the beginning of the NOTAM manual. The rest of it is standard procedures for NOTAMs. 

 

Come on.

The blue check has been an excellent tool in displaying who on Twitter eats paint chips for breakfast 

Noticed you did not include the warnings on that thread.

 

"This is a purely fictional CG showcasing a hypothetical concept. No such projects aiming to accomplish this exists in real life" was posted right below the tweet.

What you have linked to, and made your point on, is the end result of a project that involved many, many hours of staff work and millions of dollars.

Laughed at in the industry while they were considering it, but that's what you get.

It is simply the publication of the new term ruling, not anything related to how much that brilliance cost, and it was totally unnecessary and wasteful.

Where are you getting that it cost millions of dollars to change one word?

I'm getting it from the announcement that they were going to attempt it that was public information in the industry.

It was laughed at from the beginning.

The government does not simply change one word.

They spend plenty of time and staff resources to eventually come up with this crap.

 

That money, from their budget, could have been spent towards solutions to serious problems they have, but that's where we're, as companies cut flights into the New York area because of inadequate FAA resources.

 

As an aside, the term "air missions," got considerable attention, since at least one major airline spent millions in training costs to eliminate the thought of "missions" from the thought process of what they do.

This came as the result of a fatal crash.

So.......the airlines spent a lot trying to eliminate that phrase/thought process, then the FAA hurls it out over the entire aviation industry, including drones.

 

Great idea.

Money well spent

First thing I thought of was Jonestown when I started reading the article and sure enough he's mentioned.

Wow

 

The minister said there would be a turning point on how the country handles threats caused by religious extremism and was looking into another suspected cult in the same Kilifi county.

“We have cast the net wider to another religious organization here in Kilifi. We have opened a formal inquiry on this religious group and we are getting crucial leads that perhaps what was being done by Makenzi is a tip of the iceberg,” Kindiki said

 

And I never even heard of  Uganda’s Kanungu cult massacre that killed 700 followers in 2000.

I never heard of that cult either until today. Some of the things that go on in this world are so bizarre... I remember the moonies back in the early 70's but never heard of any deaths.
