    It is something that has been overlooked... Either.. Cooper knew it was a bailout rig and went with it anyway.. Or.. He didn't realize it was a bailout rig.. These tell us something about him,, the question I still haven't got a solid answer for is.... would a jumper use a bailout rig vs main/reserve in those conditions. Jumpers have said it was an easy jump... would they do it in a bailout rig.. no front reserve, hard open, hard landing, no steer, higher chance of injury and a huge landing zone.. 113 sq miles..

    Maybe free government run child care -no religion involved with my tax dollars though- that included some health services and was education focused is an answer. Parents would need to accept that the system needs to know about their personal lives or whatever else the system needed to know in exchange. Job workshops, or maybe jobs in the system, could help get the parents on track. And somehow, some way, we'd need to get comfortable requiring birth control and birth terminations for people that can't care for the kids they already have. Unfortunately, as ever, religion will be opposed.

    The existence of parachutes is not a big mystery. I think most people in civilized society are aware that they exist, for sport, military, and emergency uses. Whatever experience he has increases that knowledge. But that's kind of the point - he didn't have a choice, that's what he was given. I think the choice he was making was 'get the show on the road' over increase his chances of getting arrested or killed by waiting for more.

    No, you don't got it. It's glib to accuse us of wanting concentration camps next. However, instead the proposed sanitary living conditions that afford opportunities to escape the endless cycle how's about the rest of us, you first, get assigned one or two homeless or psychologically damaged folks to support and help every 5 years or so? No? Of course not, you just want your conscious salved by having a certain level of concern applied from a distance and at a reasonable cost; and to stay engaged you believe the conversation then must be limited to the level of concern and the cost. I have many European friends who are super frustrated at the tax price they pay after following a political philosophy of write checks and don't ask questions for so long. Gifting sufficient free money to live comfortably and freedom, no strings attached, is not the solution.
