-Asking for a friend.

More than 3 billion dollars have been invested into a vaccine by the US government. Know who heads that government? It's almost like they are putting their money where their mouth isn't.

You're saying that if the president wins re-election, his own government is going to act like the work put in by the 3 billion they smartly invested achieved nothing. The company who will become infinitely successful will throw away their research because they don't like the president.

We are living in special times, folks.

My friend was saying if Biden wins a vaccine won’t be necessary, covid will just disappear.

Any pilot that gets thrown to the street isn’t going to be able to find any kind of flying gig short of a CFI job.

wrong, buddy just left 121 to get back to corporate gig.

Because he told them he tried 121 and wanted to get back to corporate. Resigning from 121 and getting a job while furloughed are entirely different

Not if they agree to resign. As far as I know, UPS and/or Fedex both require a resignation from a pilot on leave or furlough from another company in order to be hired (not interviews just hired). So there is a way

Here is the thing some are gonna land softly and others this is gonna hurt. Don’t make people who are already in a tough spot feel worse. Now more then ever we should be united and looking out for each other.

Unfortunately, that is not possible in the US.

It's my poo doesn't stink, but the other side one does, because they are evil ____.

The only way fixing the great divide is to pull the plug on FOX, CNN, MSNBC etc. that keep heating up people's emotions.

Make politics boring again.
