Agreed! They turn everything into furries using kitty litter boxes, pronouns, Whoopie, and the green new deal. I am sure I missed a few. I am guessing “Operation Warp Speed” and eating horse paste might have caused this. They are starting to sound like the people they complain about.

METO, give me a break. WWII - for the Brits - started on 3 Jan 1939, and Germany wasn’t defeated until May
8 1945. But FOOD rationing continued all the way into July 1954, a total of nine years after the war. Gas rationing went on until 1950. And they - that is the Brits - declared war , not because the Nazis were threatening to get a nuke, but because they invaded Poland.



We’ve experienced - what? Gas PRICES went up $1.55 a gallon?

But no real shortages, no rationing, not even the long lines and odd-even fill up days that US implemented during the Arab oil embargo’s of the 70s when gas prices QUADRUPLED.

Have we really become such a nation of wimps? That a 52% increase in gas prices for a few months is going to bring us to our knees? That’s 52% of the average 3-4% of their income American families spend on gasoline?

To stop apocalyptic religious lunatics from getting a nuke?

We are just calling you out. It is all out there for you to see. It's funny how you push agendas, but when called out on it you pretend they don't exist or people are just overreacting.

Also funny how it is time to "wind this thread down" when all their talking points get shot down and they have nothing to come back with.

And they would been appalled by women in the flight Deck or working below the wing, Men serving in the cabin, and the prohibition of strangers allowed in flight at the controls. And that’s just aviation. Glad they know what’s what on pronouns though. Such innocence.

Botched. That unhappy result rarely offers cover. Nor should it. Tradecraft and surveillance are/were adequate vis-à-vis Iran’s warhead program. Regime change uprisings forecast in the wake of the Ayatollah hit never materialized of course. Childishly amateur speculation runaway there. Severity of fallout ahead is the primary focus now. We already won? I haven’t forgotten waiting for 5 gallons in those rationing lines fwiw. But that was many strokes ago. Give meto a break somebody

I can’t even answer this without laughing my a$$ off….I think it started when dudes started wearing skinny jeans and pilots started wheeling around in those shoes with wheels. Oh and lighted roller board wheels.

Thats when they took away porn in the cockpit and started calling it a Flight deck.

More projection. Who here is pushing woke agendas? How can you claim to know what an individual’s position is on X when the entire conversation so far has been about Y? It’s like the old GWB trope: “You’re either with us or you’re a terrorist”. You might have some salient points regarding the discussion at hand, but when you start lumping anyone critical of your position into some grotesque caricature you imagine a “lib” or whatever to be, they’re inclined to disengage. Quit arguing with the strawman & maybe try addressing the actual argument. The “joy” you find in your perceived roiling of those you disagree with isn’t moving anybody forward.
