  1. Come on now. The American people trusted her enough to give her the majority of votes. Apparently you think the majority needs to get down on its knees and beg or the electoral college will give the Trump. Because he is more “trustworthy”?
  2. Striking is market based capitalism. It’s simply human capital finding its best use. Sauce for the gander and all that. God loves unions, Woody said so.
  3. I would assume that Sandy tried to sell it but was unable to. And that is not surprising. It is a small boutique business and Sandy is its biggest asset.
  4. Well, except for a couple key people it's unlikely many employees will be moving from AZ to NC. The Curv and the Javelin are as different from each other as modern H/Cs get these days. I can see Sunpath continuing to produce the Curv and updating it. They did not need to buy out RI. Sandy would have retired and shut it down eventually anyway.
  5. Lucky for you, 4 way can be done from a 182.....

    covid-19

    Well, be careful anyway. Not that there is much you can do. Your wife can't send you out for vaccination for this one. The covid-19 virus is a different RNA strand from influenza and if you get it your immune response may be completely different. And I don't know your exact age, but I suspect that you are in one of the most affected age groups. Like I am.

    Ha! The last time I prayed to Jesus I was 17 and having my only bad acid trip. I prayed that my brain would not be too messed up and that I would feel normal again some day. So far my prayer has not been answered.

    I currently have one fellow from India, a hindu and a nice guy. Another Japanese guy who is actually born and raised in Brazil, which apparently has a Japanese farming community, and a recently immigrated Russian Jew. People come to Manitoba and Canada in general because it is a little cheaper to learn to fly here. Not as cheap as the USA, but we still take immigrants.

    You could not pay me enough to drive a vehicle full of living human cargo.

    You won't find this in US media, but according to this CBC story professionals in America are not impressed with the response and they believe the virus is already circulating. https://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/epidemiologist-warns-of-major-coronavirus-outbreak-contradicting-trump-1.5478081

    Yes, quite a few Sikhs, but also other brown skinned people. And it drives a lot of old time truckers crazy. New immigrants do trucking because it requires not a lot of skill and training while paying a living wage that can support a family. Old time truckers think that they are highly skilled, but except for specialized heavy carriers they are not.

    I already do those things, (well not praise Trump) at the border. I keep my hair short, almost military looking. They are usually friendly when I look this way. I'm still a white man, so even if I get a little unkempt I do okay. In Canada truck driving is now dominated by darker skinned new Canadians. So when I roll up to the window it is a break from the usual suspicious characters for them.

    covid-19

    And.....just this afternoon a flight from Vancouver to Winnipeg landed with a sick passenger, recently in China, suspected of being infected. Taken from the plane by paramedics directly to the hospital. The other passengers disembarked a couple hours later. The virus is in my town!
  14. If that is your true weight you are within the limits of most programs. We are a small Cessna 182 DZ and we would take you without a second thought. Larger DZs with bigger staff and aircraft should have no problem.
  15. No one is going to think that the problem is "handled". It would probably reduce the carnage a little bit. And you are correct, it will be a step down the slope. But I don't think that slope is really very slippery given the facts of the American situation.
  16. Here we go again. Lies, damned lies, and now statistics. Bill's post count is from the beginning of the forums. His rep score is only from the beginning of the new format.
  17. I can believe that. There are a whole lot of people very nervous about Sanders. It totally reminds me of how the Rs reacted when Trump began winning primaries.

    Turns out that as smart as you are, you are married to someone even smarter! Did you think your run of luck makes you immune?
  19. I know. You don't actually fear the GND. It just stands in for all the ideas that you fear and that you know are winning. I'm sure you heard about the letter from the boss at Black Rock. You know, the one telling CEOs to get their carbon reduction plans going if they don't want to be dropped from his multi trillion dollar fund? Yup, keep railing on about Tesla while the world just passes you by.

    We are Canadians. What makes you think we are all white? (although you are right, we are!)

    I'm crossing the border southbound to Spaceland San Marcos with a group of seven tomorrow morning. At least we will get a week of jumping in before the Trump orders Pence to close all the borders.
  22. It will always continue to exist as one of your fears.
