I question anyone who voluntarily pays to spend time on a ship like this.

It’s in extremely low Earth orbit. Definitely part of the world.

I’m a little curious why the Roosevelt was singled-out, and we didn’t just go with Nimitz-class instead? Is there something specific about her that gives her a tad more displacement, or?

Are any of these ships even close to the center of the Earth?

there arent giving anything away. If anyone pays in more to this “forced savings” then the Govt will pay them more when they turn 67 or 62. Its a cashflow thing for the govt not a profit center like the Fed Income Tax is.

The reason the Gov’t caps the amount of income they tax for social security is because money paid into Social Security is due back to the person when he or she retires. If they were to take more they would then have to pay out a correspondingly much larger amount when this high earner retires (and would be providing…

$1,500 x 2 a month = $3K. $3K x 6 months a year playing = $18K.

$1500 into his 401(k)? Dude’ll never have enough to retire comfortably at that rate.

If you get a new neighbor and you notice he has the big USMC bumper sticker on his truck with the bulldog logo on the window. And he wears a Marines t-shirt every day. He’s probably about 5’8 and all muscle. Don’t worry about him. He is a nice enough guy. He might get into the occasional bar fight and maybe a huge…

Well now I’m worried about his gazzilion sisters and the football team he is surely planning to have with his wife.

It’s irritating. I’d rather have the margins plastered in ads so I can watch the complete race. Although it’s inconvenient and sometimes a chore to avoid the news, downloading the BBC/SkySports coverage is worth the trouble. Sorry NBC.

It’s almost like they plan them to be during the pit windows.

USS Gerald Ford bides its time while Enterprise meekly points out that it is still longer than either the Nimitz or Ford classes, as it is slowly chopped apart:

If it counts since it can’t travel under its own power, it would be the Shell Prelude, a floating LNG refining platform.

I honestly think that the Air Force believes the F-22 and F-35 are so advanced they can't be shot down and thus there will be no need for Sandy.
