Lacking.
rich coming from the person who’s posts often contain “my wife tells me” as sourcing.

let’s circle backs in a couple weeks and see if this virus is “fear porn” or not.

But those trucks sure do make a good statement on a FB video. Keep that fear porn coming.


Flu deaths in the US since 2010:
335,000

2017/18 was very notable at 810,000 hospitalizations and 61,000 deaths. I’m glad our economy recovered so nicely from the quarantines. GMAFB.
Fixed it...

you know...I had a position on it, but seeing the arguments and statistics you guys posted on APC forums changed my mind! Keep fighting the good fight. ridiculous.
I gotcha...I had a position too...until I went to a party many years ago and met one of my neighbors wife. Grew up west coast, thought I could hold my own arguing typical CNN, PBS, MSNBC pro choice bumper sticker mantras. She listened patiently until I had exhausted my limited ( what I thought would be adequate) knowledge of the subject matter, then in 5 minutes destroyed my arguments and dropped the mike! Even more convincingly she was an atheist!

She just happened to be a bio ethicist who does work for Scott Klussendorf (YouTube). Trigger warning...if you listen to these folks you may become a single issue voter!

Great point. Sums it all up.

not sure what homelessness has to do with this (also off topic) but since we’re throwing out random factoids, there’s probably more people in red states (that’s what this is about for you right, politics) that die from opioids than die from homelessness on the coasts.
I've read a few of your posts now to give you a shot of redemption, but you slide further down the pole.
Good luck with the myopia.

Endeavor is losing 80 planes for at least 90 days. I’m assuming 90days is also for the Delta aircraft.

The amount of airplanes on property after the dust settles and how many pilots per plane will dictate the size of our pilot group. So for example 600 x 16 = 9600. That number plus a few adjustments here and there is no where near the same order of magnitude of what we have now. I know my math is not accurate for I made some crude assumptions, but big picture dictates that we might have to furlough after all.

Please prove me wrong. I mean it. I want nothing more than a counter argument. Something to hang on to...
