USA planes are gonna get banned from international flights at this point.
TARRIFED
It was a bombardier (Canadian) plane btw
Canadian manufacturer, but took off from Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. I assume a maintenance issueis the cause, but that may be a poir explanation.
It is a poor explanation, because all signs point to pilot error in manual landing compounded by weather. 33kt cross wind gusts, coming in fast to accommodate and not flaring soon enough and not leveling out because of crabbing the cross wind which was blowing snow across the runway giving poor visibility of the runway itself. But we’ll see the investigation results.
He is speedrunning isolation if this happens. US and EU relations are already at their breaking point after. Threatening to go to war with Denmark and his Ukraine visit.
I think reverse might happen as well. Airlines from other countries might refuse to fly to USA.
Both: Airlines from other countries refuse to fly in US airspace because of dangerous ATC and planes from the US are refused entrance in the airspace of other countries because the FAA isn't trusted to enforce proper maintenance schedules on planes from US companies and other countries don't want the additional cases of planes falling from the sky or crashing on landing that would result from de facto unregulated air travel safety in the US.
Also Boeing sales would suffer if the FAA was officially deemed in other countries to not have equivalence with their local air-travel regulators when it came to oversight of plane manufacturing because it wasn't actually doing the job of preserving the safety of air-travel.
I vote we let Boeing design a brand new plane for Trump. Make sure it has all the bells and whistles. Add a co pilot seat for Musk.
The plane was Canadian, Bombardier. Not Boeing. And even then l don’t think the plane was any cause of the crash
The CRJ line have always had pretty shitty safety records (comparatively speaking). I try to only fly Airbus, but I'm about 99% resolved to not fly anywhere under Trump's FAA.
Americans will never see any real progress in their lifetimes as long as the Democratic party in its current incarnation stands intact.
Conservatives are by their nature evil and reactionary, but also simultaneously eternal and temporary. They are a society's dead skin being shed before the new form emerges, its cocoon of petulant narcissism refusing to accept reality.
The problem with neoliberal Democrats is that they don't realize that they're conservative too, and as such must be shed.
Democratic party suddenly becomes a full-blown socialist party, complete with an anti-capitalist manifesto. Imagine
Republicans would win every election for at least 2 generations.
Indeed. It is the USA after all
IDK, Sanders did pretty well on that Fox News appearance. If suddenly there weren't both sides telling people to hate the left, you might be surprised at the results.
Both the funniest and most wished for idea this year!
God I need to learn how to lucid dream.. okay I know how, but I need to get better at it
Keep a dream journal and write down anything you remember immediately when you wake up. Re-read them before bed and it trains your brain to remember more detail. No point having lucid dreams if you don't know about it afterward.
wake up and go back to sleep.
guides are available online, and a film touching the topic exists : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waking_Life
Yes... yes... I should
Idk man in that analogy our plane never flies ever again and is just a smoking fucked up broken mess where it was supposed to land. Doesn't seem that great lol
The rest of the world would be quite pleased though.
No more giving weapons to terrorists, only for them to turn out to be terrorists.
No more overthrowing diplomatically elected governments because they got in the way of some oil drilling.
No more invading other countries, spending 10 years stomping around, then leaving it worse than it was when they started.
it was 20 years for the afghanistan war actually
Me, too, James. Me, too.
Why does every moment needs to be seized by you fucks?

Points at the giant burning dumpster fire that is the current American government and the dynamic duo pouring more jet fuel into the dumpster.
