The media spinning as if things are going great for Biden and the Dems:

The economic risks of a work stoppage are substantial for a backbone element of US food and energy supplies. But so too is the political risk for Biden and Democrats, who have ridden a wave of momentum from major legislative victories and signs of deceleration in record-high inflation two months before the midterm elections.

Major legislative victories?  You mean like the one that pissed off every person who paid off their own college loan plus all taxpaying working men and women who never went to college?  Or how about the “inflation reduction” bill that will spend us into massively increased inflation?

And please explain the definition of “deceleration” in the context of continuing forward velocity.

How about other Biden “victories” like getting us out of Afghanistan?  Oh wait, there’s the whoopsie of leaving $24 billion of military equipment in the hands of brutal terrorists.  And the Americans and Afghan allies trapped there.

What about Biden’s shutting down U.S. oil production and driving up gas prices?  A great victory for the Dems!

How about North Korea officially declaring itself a nuclear power and announcing it will preemptively defend itself with nukes if it feels threatened?  They would not have dared that if Trump was in office.

Oh the Dems are riding a wave of momentum alright, but it’s not in their favor.  It’s taking us right off a cliff.

Mostly people to lazy to work, but not too lazy to demand those who work pay for their useless degrees, because… racism.

Racism, sexism, transism, etc., so many oppressed people sitting in mom’s basement raging at the injustice of it all.

The dems brought us the vaccines

They’ll be asked to defend these statements:

“Get the shot and you won’t get Covid.”
“Get the shot and you won’t have to wear a mask.”

The dems got rid of that mean person

You mean the mean person that had gas prices so low that fuel surcharges actually went negative?  We were swimming in extra oil?  The mean person that had historically low unemployment and a booming economy?  That started no wars and organized a withdrawal from Afghanistan that Biden managed to completely fuck up?

The dems saved people from all that horrible crushing student debt

By making construction workers and small business owners pay for the worthless degrees of college grads who can’t get jobs? 

We should mandate debates and force the left to try to defend this shit.

What’s with all these democrats refusing to debate?

The FAA would see it that way no matter who you agreed was “PIC”.  Or maybe both would be on the line but the CFI has the higher ratings and it is admittedly an instructional flight.  He’d be held the more responsible.

In fact, if John goes under the foggles in VMC or they encounter IMC then the CFI automatically becomes legal PIC, even if he never manipulates the controls, and can log it, if I understand my PIC-logging vs PIC-legal correctly.  Assuming the CFI is instrument rated and John is not.

John can also log the instrument time because he was on the controls, but lacking an AI rating, he cannot remain legal PIC while under the hood or in IMC.

…while enriching the climate change oligarchs and their cuck politicians.

Yep, those at the very top pushing this don’t believe it themselves.  Otherwise they wouldn’t buy beachfront property and fly around in private jets burning fossil fuels, and live in giant mansions requiring tons of electricity to upkeep.

I'm very happy with people working to preserve the environment, protect the planet, and all that.  I visited LA recently.  I hadn't been there since the 1970s.  I was pretty amazed that the mountains were so close.  Never saw them way back when.  So something is working.

BUT those people should leave me out of their mission.  Do what you want, leave me alone.  I love shooting.  I don't insist that everyone own a gun to cut down on crime.  Same thing.  And until they start doing something about the carbon and pollution coming out of India and China they should leave me alone.  If the US dropped to zero carbon it wouldn't matter a bit.  But it would transfer a lot of wealth to the climate junkies.  Which I guess is the point.

This.  Pollution is a local thing and related to the ramping up of industry as an area moves from third world into first world status.  There are growing pains!  The smog of London during its industrial birth pangs is infamous.  My own husband spent a lot of time in China selling pollution control equipment to power and manufacturing plants.  Of course, they had issues of followup, being under inefficient centralized and corrupt government control.  On the other hand, a lot of it is that we exported our manufacturing and attendant pollution over to them, so there’s that.
