The slat track becomes an issue in part because Boeing is relying more and more extensively on outside suppliers for its planes as time goes on (even spinning off what’s now Spirit Aerosystems, the part of the company that made 737 fuselages).

That ain’t workin’, that’s the way you do it.

Hot take: let's not draw any comfort from the idea that Trump and his people don't follow rules or pay attention to history when making decisions. Their recklessness and cluelessness WORKED last time (I mean, fuck, Wisconsin had gone blue since around the same time too). There are a lot of racists in Oregon - let's…

Yeah, i agree w/this. Take nothing for granted. What a different country we would hvae if the President was elected via the popular vote and not the electoral college. 

Just as a word of warning, Wisconsin also hadn’t voted Republican since ‘84, until the last election, and is barely 1% whiter than Oregon...

So, either Huawei as Chinese Intelligence Sock Puppet is a real thing and the OMB is asking Congress to allow a little light-to-medium spying by the Chinese for the next two years, or Huawei products are not a national security threat under any reasonable interpretation. I wonder which it is?

It’s not free but it’s easy to amortize it over a large customer base, just like any other part of their overhead. The fewer people there are to pay for it, the more it will cost per person. (Plus the administration of billing them.)

It is generally a mistake to think that coal miners actually love coal mines.

And as a result they are beholden to him like the old factory towns of the past. It's Faustian.

I don’t care where someone gets their ideas for fighting climate change

and the Biden team has demonstrated its deep commitment to taking action by putting their finest policy minds on the case: Laurem Ipsum and Dolores T Amet

He wasn’t thrown in ail for drug prices, he was thrown in jail for ripping off rich people.

Nobody is obligated to endure emotional abuse in order to score a “win” against bullies.  This isn’t a teen drama where the freshman stands up to the upperclassmen and teaches them a lesson and they change their ways.  If this councilman said “I’ve had enough of these slurs/death threats/whatever” and decides to quit,…

No, he’s not obligated to do that.

Elections do have consequences, which is why you should vote for people who support policies you want instead of voting for someone who supports something you absolutely abhor because they’re (maybe) better than the other person or god forbid they’re “more electable” than the other person. Otherwise you end up like…

more clinton voters in 2008 said “party unity my ass” and voted mccain than sanders voters in 16 voted trump, but blame whoever makes you feel better
