Lol. The politics here are loving retarded. There's a campaign against local public unions (police, fire, teachers) that has the rear end in a top hat mayor of Colorado Springs spewing bullshit and general vitriol against unions. Can't wait to move to the goddamn sticks and build a cabin.

No way, are they actually including police unions in the list? Those are usually conspicuously absent from anti-union rage.

It's for collective bargaining for the firefighters. Mayor Suthers is on the No side. I'm trying to find his No on 1 commercial but it's proving annoying.

An Ethiopian Airlines 737 crashed 6 minutes after takeoff with 157 passengers and crew onboard. No word yet on any suspected cause. https://www-m.cnn.com/2019/03/10/africa/ethiopia-airline-crash-nairobi-intl/index.html?r=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2F They're pretty much THE airline in Africa for international flights to and from the continent these days. e: It was an 800 MAX. Wonder if it's the same thing that caused the Lion Air crash? psydude fucked around with this message at 11:29 on Mar 10, 2019 |

I’ve taken that connecting flight before.  Can confirm that Ethiopian is a really nice airline that pays attention to safety and service, this really is an awful incident.

Hot Karl Marx posted:https://twitter.com/CavasShips/status/1084851004120670208 That's an old, and frankly badly written series that the Navy Times did on the FITZ collision. The picture on the bottom left is from the Comprehensive Report the Navy published back in November or so of 2017 after the McCain collision. It might have been in the initial report they published in August prior to the McCain collision, but it was redacted for some reason. That picture is also interesting because if you look through the hatch, near the top left, you can actually see the puncture through the skin of the ship. The metal was bent at about a 90 degree angle. The articles don't provide much if any context on why the ship was in the state it was, and it makes it sound like we weren't trying to get anything fixed. If you want actually well written and well researched pieces on the collision look at these two in a series by ProPublica https://features.propublica.org/navy-accidents/uss-fitzgerald-destroyer-crash-crystal/ and https://features.propublica.org/navy-accidents/us-navy-crashes-japan-cause-mccain/ The Propublica articles aren't perfect; there are some incorrect things (saying Antietam was a destroyer for example), but overall it's much better than what Geoff and Carl wrote in January. That "secret report" that the Navy Times talks about is the Fort Report, which ProPublica also had access too. I know that the second article has been brought up during a Senate committee hearing. But not to completely dunk on Geoff, he also published this a few days ago: https://www.navytimes.com/news/your-navy/2019/03/05/say-it-aint-so-cno-more-unlawful-command-influence-claims-dog-fitz-cases/. The article in question was an opinion piece posted on War on the Rocks that essentially said that this was entirely the fault of ship's force and that Big Navy can't be there to hold our hands all of the time. There was another opinion piece also posted on War on the Rocks that countered it a few days after the original, but that one wasn't posted on the Navy's Twitter feed, Facebook page, or the CNOtes. As the rule stands, yes, I am mentioned in the Death and Valor article, but do not associate my actual name with my handle.

Wet match in dark cave still stands, but it says worse things about his state that he got elected from all the voters across the state. Not that Florida isn't an expert at producing garbage people.

The Atlantic has an interesting article on VCR(voluntary compliance rate), "tax morale" and how dirty donny telling the world that cheating on your taxes is "smart" is anything but. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/04/why-americans-dont-cheat-on-their-taxes/583222/ I loved this bit about Greece quote:Then there’s Greece, where economists have struggled to even calculate a VCR. According to the International Monetary Fund, more than half of Greek households pay zero income tax. Indeed, tax evasion is practically a national sport. Take the swimming-pool trick. After the 2008 recession, the government placed a luxury tax on private pools. When only 324 residents in the ritzy suburbs of Athens admitted to having one, tax collectors knew they were being swindled—but didn’t know how badly until Google Earth photos revealed the real pool count: 16,974. It’s now common to conceal chlorinated assets with floating tiles, army nets, and pool interiors painted to mimic grass.

Just turn Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina and Northern Florida into one big, lovely state. Then fence it in. And give Guam, DC and PR statehood so we can keep it at 50 states, wouldn't even have to change the flag.
