They buy them.

Thanks to the mighty First the press in the US is free to publish things like this. At first glance many people might think that's a bad thing. But it's far better for this kind of stuff to be laid bare for all to see than to hide in the cracks waiting to strike. Know the enemy.

Wahhabis with nukes? Cue the doomsday music.

Meh....Bernie is going nowhere this time around. His day is almost as over as Hilary's.

Or perhaps, just maybe, the people who have already answered you have told you the truth in good faith. Maybe they are not conspiratorial liars like you seem to think. Just maybe.....

Like this Uber deplorable? http://time.com/5532054/roger-stone-judge-crosshairs/

She does now Marc. You can't control thread drift just because you gave the thread a bogus title. Come back and try again next time!!!!!!

Like many industries the skydiving world would be filled with lower wage imported workers if it were legal. Instead, DZs compete for qualified citizens to do the work. That means if they can't fill the position they either don't pay enough, or something about the working conditions is driving potential workers to go elsewhere. The industry typically charges a minimum of $200 or more often closer to $300 for a tandem experience. They should be able to hire or train both packers and TIs at those rates. Those who can't are doing something wrong. And of course immigrant workers are a hot topic right now. Not just in America, but all over the western world. The situation in Canada is very similar.

I'm pretty sure her real motivation is pretty much the same as Trump's main motivation. She wants to stay in the public eye and keep people talking about her. She is only important if she can do that.

There isn't really anything that's replaced it. Unless that happens it will probably live on.

Finally, courtesy of the Beeb. Proof of the emergency. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVa4_2xXwGE

Trump plays people's instincts and needs well because that is the way he thinks. It comes naturally to him. He is a greedy selfish person and he knows how to relate to the worst in people. That is why his support is high, but cannot grow. He is capable of learning to be better and to do better. But he will not because he just does not care to.

What do you think of the new dropzone.com format?
gowlerk replied to pchapman's topic in The Bonfire
Hmmm.... is there someone forcing you to read the forums you don't care for? If not I think I can make a suggestion that will help you with your lack of tolerance for what other people say..... -
AOC performing in a House committee hearing. Cocky, confident, and aggressive. All the things her demographic is not supposed to be. No wonder the right wingers sound like their hair is burning when they talk about her. Bravo.....

To be clear, I agree that the whole issue of a cutter failing to cut all the way and leaving a P/C ready to burst out at any time is the reddest of herrings. My main reason for not packing them is the complete lack of support from the manufacturer.

Come on Phil. You know as well as I do that Amazon HQ jobs will pay many times more than Amazon Fufillment centre (warehouse) jobs. Amazon was not building a warehouse here. Only the salt mine workers get $15/hour.
-
Yes, that is why SkyDive AZ refuses to allow them on their aircraft. Just one of the reasons I won't pack one.
-
Not one of the people who voted for her would benefit from Amazon taking over their neighbourhood.
-
I'm already hearing angry aggressive sounding conservative commentators being interviewed on NPR trying to justify the "emergency". Some of their rationalizations are quite humourous.

Only slightly more responsible than the Venezuelan government. America, spending like a drunken socialist sailor. On credit from China.

I'm not sure what it means. But it was fun to watch.

A Summary of S&TA responsibilities is here: https://uspa.org/Safety-Training/Safety-Training-Advisors You should read it and learn. It will help you understand their role better.

Paul Ryan and company can answer that easily. Anyone who does not already have any or all of those things. It's America after all. If you have not either been born to these things, or have been able to claw your way into them, you obviously are not good enough to deserve them. Dog eat dog and survival of the fittest. But don't confuse that with evolution. God doesn't do evolution. She just takes care of the best people.
