This country was built by bloodlines of incredible risk takers. We have decided to medicate it out of an entire generation on kids so teachers can have a calm classroom. This kids grow up to be great rule followers and employees. None of them risk takers. Excessive risk is how we move forward. England, those are the ones that stayed bc it was scary to take risk. I say we encourage more risk taking and make America great again.
The best risk taking is to take your paycheck and invest in real companies and create financial independence for your family, not by hopping around seniority lists.

The Administration’s interference with Charles Darwin’s and Alfred Wallace’s studies of Natural Selection may alter the outcome of the natural charted progression of Spirit’s existence. What could possibly go wrong?

I honestly think the only reason this is being discussed is to spur on a private buyer of the airline. Nothing gets buyers moving like a threat that someone else might come in and snatch it away. If someone does, I think the administration green-lights it, and the deal gets done quickly. Who would those potential buyers be? That's a great question. If it does end up being the admin dumping $500 million into them, well, I won't love it, but I will choose to see it as buying time for the 14,000 employees there to find other employment.
