FUBAR. That’s what it is.

yeah I agree with you there. The risk tho is if Vance becomes President he could probably mess up a whole lot of things quickly in line with their dark enlightenment insanity.

Seems like a wise idea. I kinda always assumed that air ports had systems in place to flip over to war-mode relatively easily, but that was just an unsubstantiated assumption.

Vance is a bigger threat IMO than Trump tbh. The weird stuff with him, Thiel, Yarvin, and the Dark Enlightment stuff is all terrifying.

“Musk could literally solve every problem in the US”

Musk and his billions couldn’t fund Medicaid for a year. He’d make a sizable dent, but only a dent, in our overall student loan debt. Public debit, which is becoming a major issue with interest now consuming a huge part of our budget, would barely be dented.

He could fund US Aid for a few years. This in large part comes down to the fact that it’s minuscule spending.

Musk could do very little with “every” problem in the USA. If he decided to, he could address some of the smaller specific issues but that’s it. I’d applaud him for it but we need to be realistic about the numbers here.

See above.

Most of the planes I’ve been on had at least some crew seats tucked into the back and out of the way of the primary exits if I am remembering correctly. There probably is a good reason, such as tripping hazards for the crew doing their work or the seats not really being effective for long term seating and keeping the body in place (I’m thinking of the fold down crew seats).

That’s a good point. Wonder why they didn’t just do that?

Economic desperation and lack of education. Think back to how dumb humans were just like 400 years ago, which is what 20 generations or something? Essentially no grasp of diseases in the modern sense. We are biologically 99.9999% or whatever the same as them.

Ebola spread during that ~2015 outbreak in large part because local customs meant washing the dead and otherwise being in close physical contact. Sadly, people simply didn’t know better.

If the flight wasn’t full and they didn’t allow them to move seats that’s extremely messed up.
