Just had a good convo with a buddy on a ski trip who works as an aviation expert at the Pentagon and he says multiple factors led to this disaster. But what was one element that had no bearing at all? Well obviously, he said DEI. And he, along with a bunch of people at the Pentagon, are furious with Trump for his stupid, tone deaf, moronic claims earlier in the day.
This is good. People are can see our president is a scumbag. He should be removed from office immediately.

If you have more people, you need more infrastructure it’s an easy equation.
So now helping families with children is a bad thing?
Looks like it may help more ethnic groups anyways.

@Bjerknes
What factors exactly? from your “expert”

@s4tch ”Show me the proof.”

I never followed any U.S. TV broadcast news when I lived there. Too tainted, especially towards entertainment more than anything. May as well get your news from your Facebook feed.
Oddly, my options have improved since leaving the U.S. France 24 in English here has been quite good. (Disclaimer: Le Monde in English is one of my favorite printed news sources.) BBC World is ok but a bit dry sometimes. NHK World is ok. I still watch RAI Italia when I can because Italy is comedy.
Al Jazeera gets laughs, but they are less caught up with b.s. than U.S. TV news and are also one of my favorites. Just for added perspectives.
I just can't.
Podcasts are torture to me. It's like having to listen to someone else's voice mails.
I get that people have long liked talk radio. And younger generations now seem illiterate and need a serial conversation in video or audio to teach them anything.
I prefer the control of print to rapidly scan, get to the point, or outright abandon it. You can't do that as easily with serial video or audio.
I'm surprised this isn't more common, really. Put dorks-on-screens captive to an online stream of salad bar extremism ideology, of course. The whole incel thing isn't so different.
What is so wrong about trying to hire the best employee? And not necessarily hire the guy because his slut wife has children by four other men in the neighborhood?
And the DEI whining is stupid. Nancy Mace is DEI, because they previously didn't allow any women in The Citadel.
Does that make her incompetent and in a position to unnecessarily get other people killed for her incompetence? No.

for trumptards: the agency had dei hires = the air traffic controller was a dei hire 
the controller was allegedly a young white family man btw. and he was allegedly doing two man's job when the tragedy happened. if you ask trumptards, it had nothing to do with the fact that elon pushed out the head of the agency because he was salty about a fine space x received (corruption at the highest level, again) and trump gutted the safety committee, fired a few managers
btw it's reported that the very same hiring standards were in place since 2013 and weren't changed under trump's first term. no similar accident has happened for decades. trump fires key people, tragedy happens
but biden and mayor pete lol
he's in charge, period. he should take responsibility, period

it's not even hindsight, quoted tweet is from months ago

what a fucking moron, jesus. unbelievable that maga raised a bunch of xperds, podcasters, think tanks, conspiracy theory believers, opinionists with the most absurd takes and they all have a large enough following to provide them with a career
Well, they just tried to lay off 3 million people because anarchy and a non-functioning government is a better society. The bank run that would have been made by everyone working in education, healthcare (Medicaid payments + medical residents and institutions), and transportation (FAA, baby!) alone would have been a fantastic financial market cratering and bank run, a rival to the 1929 Great Depression.
The subsequent rise in government bond yields -- demanded by investors to hold American debt -- reflects that recognized additional risk. The market is speaking.
If you're going to destroy the U.S. government like it is a captive Iraq, the military, its infrastructure, its courts, its voting infrastructure, its mortgages, etc. are all gonna be toast. Then the Winners can dance around the bonfire for all the great deeds that they've done in the name of saving America.
When Britain pulled Brexit, everything got sh*ttier for pretty much everybody. America now wants its own Amerixit: escaping itself. Break out the remakes of John Lennon's "Imagine" with D.C. hobos in the park singing, "Imagine there's no taxes... it's easy if you try. No government services below us, above us only anarchy and austerity."

My country has like 1.5 million government officials for a 16 million population.
The state could easily do without 700k of them , but because they were hired through corruption and nepotism they are "esential".
So I think that 3 million for a country as big as the USA which has like what , 400 million in population , means nothing at state level.
PS now my country has like 10% budget deficit , which means 25 billion a year that it needs to loan, which most of them goes in sustaining government officials(40% , I think) and the public pension system.

I’m a big fan of long form audio. I really appreciate that we live in a era where you can listen to scientists, athletes, books etc while doing your everyday things like driving, going to the gym or whatever.
For me conversations are a bit easier to digest. At least you have multiple voices, emotions and the words people choose while speaking are often less technical compared to writing. Audiobooks are more monotone. The advantage with podcast is that those people are able to describe their thoughts into detail in a friendly environment, there’s more quality in those conversations compared to classic interviews we saw 10 years ago.
Had to drive 3 hours today, listened to The Communist Manifesto of Karl Marx and a geopolitical podcast where I had to catch up a few episodes. Good use of time compared to listening to music or the radio.
Maybe I should open a long form audio thread so we can share good podcasts/audiobooks/lectures here. Been thinking about that for a while.
