Something got news outlets using an irrelevant number to prove there's no increase.
They are all looking at a comparison that the FAA released. It's for all aviation in the country. So propeller planes are actually crashing less, which is interesting.
Commercial jets, though? Different story.

True. But I'm glad my state is stepping up. They're fighting in court, but they're also ready to protect residents.

It says they've had difficulty filling positions. But news agencies wouldn't pounce on that. Send this to press, and it ties to current events.
That said, 2 weeks is light speed for a government job. That's probably because the fed screens employees closely. At least, it used to.

They're in a hurry for a reason.
The personnel from Heritage know that neither Trump nor Musk can be consistent. They can't follow a battle plan.
Employees refuse to resign? Delay. Injunction? Delay or line-item defeat. Employee stubbornly follows the law? Delay. Temporary protective order? ...

This is reasonable.
If nothing else, they could list 'email' and 'copy' for sharing.

"For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:"
"For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:"

My cat likes to bring "friends" at home. (for the record, the mouse was saved and released far away)

A report on all recent wasteful spending? Yes, we need one. It's going to be a doozy.

I suppose they're likely thinking that.
Russia was partially excluded from international trade, and everyone struggled except OPEC. We have a lot more trade for the world to lose. It isn't one industry.
The rich are insulated, but not from losing money. Not if this goes south.

Exactly. Seems to me they could file for an emergency order to release certain records.

No troll I've seen looks like a rotten Cheeto with a deteriorating mind.
The hair, though. I think Rotten Cheeto kidnapped the trolls' hairdresser.

So the failure to find it with search isn't just me? This requires scrolling through all of it?
Yiiiiikes.

That's the worst part - it's unfettered.
Yes, countries that blend economic systems are more successful. But that's not our huge, pre-coup problem.
We keep giving exceptions to the rich and powerful. Donation exceptions for PACs, speech exceptions for politics, and ...what antitrust?

In their playbook, perhaps not. And you're correct that a violent end is brief.
How about life in prison? Knowing that woke libs managed to pressure spineless lawmakers into doing their jobs?
I don't like the current playbook - for either side. Let's change it.

I like that plan.

If the courts don't tamp this down soon, I fear and expect problems. People are discussing non-casual, targeted murder.
There is organizing that might help. I'll support it, and I'll hope. A peaceful resistance would give us a better outcome.

You can apply for unemployment in that circumstance. States handle it in various ways. In my case, it was denied and I could appeal. They asked for my explanation and evidence and those of the employer.

Too many states disadvantage 3rd parties in elections. They have to spend enormous time and money getting on the ballot.
Let's take over this party instead. We've had enough lawmakers into insider trading and anti-Progessive sabotage.

We can ALL be 'difficult' women! It's one point in my Plan of Subversion. It's not lot, but I am doing what I can, where I am.

She did everything right, and the bulk of the party nit-picked Biden's work - grilling Kamala over it.
Right now, two voices are brilliant.
And I don't want the country to burn down. You might be ready to give up, but I have family to protect.

They're a little short-handed over there.
Perhaps the goal is to flounder just like our hero country. We can have an inflation spiral, insane war, the works!

The one I'm familiar with, Pod Save the UK, didn't strike me as a comedy. It seemed like Pod Save America. Opinion journalism based in facts and professional knowledge. Laid-back setting.

They're more worried about being banned than freedom of the press. That's the problem.

So creepy to lock HR files.
I'm no attorney, but losing those files sounds like it can cause immediate harm. If the person searches for work or files unemployment, they need the files.
I'd be asking the lawyer about emergency orders. It might be possible.

Trouble is, that lawsuit isn't about the immediate dangers. I don't know exactly what they argued, but they can only include harm to the ๐ ๐ก๐๐ก๐๐ ๐กโ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ .
The stuff that happens to us? Our states don't have standing.

Finally, someone expressing something!
People trying to destroy everything, and the response is lukewarm. No!

Not at all.
This is punching up. Some people don't approve, but I think it's a positive contribution. It keeps us from trying to choose between trusting these "leaders" and fearing them. Either leads to disaster.
Never, never punch down.

It's the uniquely creepy expression.

Not normally.
Some companies have various things they'll do. I think you're thinking of the companies that will let you bring it in and they use it's trade-in value towards your loan.
They make money on it because trade-in value is low. Regardless, Tesla didn't have when I checked.

Not that I can see. I thought I might have missed it, so I did "find on page." Nothing.

I'm not convinced that's the most honorable answer if they can't pay for it. They owe the bank money, not Tesla. Why give Tesla a free car?

But owning one in itself is a statement. That's why some people have bumper stickers with an opposing statement.
Like, "I bought this before I knew Elon was crazy"
