This. It is easy to NOT put a bunch of cameras in your own house to surveil yourself.

Leave that website.

There is no fixing it.

Can you cite the source of your numbers regarding yesterday? Estimates I have seen range from 4-6M.

Also, I don't really mean to quibble, but my point is I have been here before. Unless protest continues to grow I fear we are in the same situation that happened under Bush - some protest then everything proceeds as expected.

Even if these protests were somewhat bigger than the Iraq war ones, we have no idea how big they need to be to actually change things because we haven't seen that happen in the past few decades.

ITT: people with crumbling infrastructure under a corporate oligarchy discuss why they are unhealthy.

I remember something regarding shady examiners, but I assumed the FAA got those people rechecked with priority since, as I recall, it affected a lot of working commercial pilots.

I would also assume they would have offered that explanation rather than scrubbing the internet.

I think that explanation is probably unlikely here.

I sit here sadly recalling similar pictures of Bush II vs. anti-war protests.

Afghanistan still got fucked. Iraq still got fucked. Our privacy rights got fucked. And the Republican plan to divide and conquer continued apace.

I am happy we got out there yesterday. I am worried just like last time we will let them get away with it.

Reading this story, knowing almost nothing about this guy, it sounds like he went and got his license just to try to put the screws to actual pilots, maybe pilots in a union?

And then he lied about the level of licensure he obtained?

This is classic business person shit and any pilot, it seems to me, should be fucking worried that a guy like that would be running the FAA.

At least, that's my non-pilot layman's take. Am I way off?

I tried doing this once. I couldn't retain anything.

Turns out lubricants are often neurotoxic. The more you know....

Fuck Dollar General.

I, for one, miss you and your mesh shirt and your run-down shop, Marvin Bissel.
