Schutzstaffel, as in protective service would probably be a better description of what they actually do I guess

Secret service better fits sg like the CIA

I had to do a double take on that abbreviation

The extreme right gained some seats, but they are very far from winning an election. They actually underperformed expectations and are actively losing ground eg. in France or the NL. Even Orbán’s regime seems to have found a challenger.

The fight is not over yet, but this election has been very far from a far right win.

Commercial flights don’t typically use uncontrolled airports. That said, it could also be on the pilots, hence the investigation.

If the journos did their jobs, they could have probably checked out LiveATC for the comms.

Mostly a shrug. Live and let live.

But that someone will have their own priorities that will most likely not always coindice with yours.

Lawfare it to hell and back?

Well, yes?

I guess they have as much to do with it as “industry leaders”.

They typically don’t.

If this goes on, how do you know any of those airframes aren’t as much of a sham as the 787?

This is how you end up with an army like Russia.

Didn’t Bloomie only run because he got scared of Bernie?

My life goal now is getting a doctorate, I wonder if I can still switch and be another Dr Dre

Student athletes!

On the other hand, you do need to fuck up education big time, and suck hope out of the people with policies that only benefit the rich for decades for it to be appealing.

In your analogy, people today have no vegetables on the menu, just subsistence amounts of bread and water versus hamberders and cheap beer. And we get less and less bread every year.

People would like veggies, a lot of them, especially kids, but the veggie peddlers are beaten up and driven away by the bread and water people, since literal poison is easier to compete with.

Especially since the EP elections just happened, and he was speaking in Italy.

The US govt will not buy Airbus over Boeing, and will not let airlines overwhelmingly switch to it either.
