If you are going to have a gun on your hip during a traffic stop, don’t then also be aggressive to the cops. He didn’t get killed just for having a gun. You also might have missed that the gun was on the floorboard, out of its holster, meaning he either unholstered his gun or had a loose gun available during the stop.…

...and “asserted his independence from the laws of the land.”

Whatever religion the priest was, it must be the right one for them to make it to 3,000 years old.

The only thing you are correct about is that there is no money (currently) for the writers and a bulk of actors working in the industry.

All of the money being made in the industry currently is being amassed by a very small percentage assholes. The very same assholes who gathered the WGA for what was supposed to be…

There’s no money in this anymore.

Hey, there’s a difference between “They lost money because they spent more than they made” and “They lost money because they aren’t making enough money”, which seems obvious, but here I am having to explain it.

When Who’s the Boss got 25 million viewers, there were 3 broadcast networks, 1 cable channel, and the highest grossing film made 225 million dollars.

The problem, among others, is that every big studio decided that they, and they alone, were going to win the streaming wars, crush everyone else in the process, and then cherry pick whatever good stuff was left from the corpses. So they all let their Netflix deals expire, rushed to start their own services with their…

This just confirms the leak at the beginning of this that their plan was to negotiate in bad faith until regular people started losing their homes.

I live for the day when everyone finally wakes up to the fact that all our lives are made worse because of the unrestrained greed of a tiny group of people whose…

In case it wasn’t already obvious which side was the assholes, only one side of this debate DEMANDED a media blackout to keep things “in good faith” and then IMMEDIATELY leaked their proposal to the industry trades that THEIR OWN MEMBER LITERALLY OWNS.

Is this post a joke? Do you honestly think there isn’t money in media? There is a tonne of money in media, the problem is that a bunch of the big players spent the money that they made chasing Netflix and buying up eachother and now they need to squeeze someone for that money and they settled on the Writers and the…

No worries! Once these strikers “start losing their apartments”, things will revert back the usual grift.

If the employers don’t feel a strike it would be kinda pointless.

Sigh. Losing an engine like that isn’t really that big an issue unless the aircraft is overloaded. It’s NOT going to crash. There’s a reason even 2-engine aircraft can now safely fly across the Atlantic and Pacific.

I think MSNBC had a retired pilot on after that happened and he basically said it looks bad but it wasn’t going to crash the plane. Its something pilots train for. You cut the engine and the fuel and then land the plane on one engine.  

I was flying with my mother, and while landing our engine started doing this.  Everyone on the plane started looking out the window on that side, pointing, a general hubbub.  My mom asked what was going on.  I leaned over, pulled down the window shade and told her I’d tell her once we were at the gate.  everything was…

Jet engines actually have a “containment ring” designed to prevent shrapnel of a failed engine from hitting the plane and causing further damage.

They already do. They already did. Then they flat out just took over the court so they could rewrite the laws they didn’t like.

That, pack the court, demand and enforce ethics rules, whatever the method, SCOTUS needs to be curtailed severely. We should not allow such a blatantly undemocratic body to override the will of the people in a representative democracy.
