I once read about Tulipmania, and how it kept expanding until suddenly one day, an auction for the latest bulb failed to reach expectations. Almost overnight, the irrational market got rational. I keep hoping for that event with TSLA.

Unfortunately a lot of Americans don’t seem to mind it.

The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi, but a bankrupt Nazi is a good start.

Fuck Biden and Garland too for being so inept that they couldn’t put him away or down in 3 years.

Not true. They have one policy. Enrich the board of directors at any cost.

They are capitalist, which adheres to no policy.

But the sticker doesn’t say ‘fascist’; it says ‘crazy’. The cave rescue was, IMO, the final straw that tipped him from eccentric to tissue-paper-box-slippers

At my first job out of school, one of my co-workers got to pay for the birth of their child out of pocket because his wife’s pregnancy was a ‘pre-existing condition’. Wheeeee!

DEI is just the new “Woke” in that it means whatever they say it means. 

For whatever reason, the US press was really really good at hiding how truly bad Covid was here. Some nurse friends, one traveling, had horror stories the entire time. Many many hospitals had to fight to get refrigerated trucks to store the bodies before funeral homes could pick them up.
I personally know of a friend…

I mean, I’m shocked the article doesn’t say this, but

We are entering an age (god I hope it’s only 4 years but who knows) of (royal) court politics- whoever has the shiniest keys to jingle in front of the Dauphin will get the most attention, and being able to blame our horribly mismanaged problems on something distracting will become paramount. 

Sorry but there’s no way the federal government is spending 120 BILLION on DEI initiatives.

The people that tell you that DEI is discrimination against white people are the same who will tell you that affirmative action is discrimination against white people and is reverse racism against whites. Disgruntled white people are angry that they have to compete for jobs against people who don’t look like them on…

OK that makes more sense. So they are pretty much just trying to paint a line around the fire to block the spread. But even then it seems to be grossly inefficient if each flight can only drop so little coverage.

I understand there’s a balance between getting maximum “spread” of retardant and not losing it to the wind.  And yes, it does take many, many, many, many flights.  It gets expensive, fast.

Video says their goal is 200 ft above the highest vegetation, and they want the water to land as a rain, not slam into the ground.  

Given that this is in Florida, the first things they tried were probably 1)Drugs, 2) Guns, 3) Putting animals down their pants...

As long as I can change mine to NCC-1701. That old lady in NY isn’t getting harassed enough!
