    Maybe he is trying to drive its value down so he can turn around and offer to buy out his investors cheaply. As a favour just a little while before he unleashes the Kraken. After all, he is a certified genius.

    Sometimes you are a generous man. Mostly when it costs you nothing I suppose.

    I believe the term he used was suicide. If someone commits suicide is it not their fault?

    Not that it really matters but the woman who accused him of whistling at her and calling her "baby" admitted years later that she made the whole thing up.

    He did not appear in court to defend himself and he will not be paying the judgement. Or so he supposes.

    Given his pretty obvious intelligence it is hard to believe he did not understand the level of victim blaming he was engaging in. What motivates Winsor and what are his core beliefs? None of us can really say but all of us can read his words. He is not a misunderstood child.

    A classic case of big head syndrome I suspect.

    You mean like skydiving and flying in questionable aircraft?

    Russia screwed up the 20th century pretty badly. Now that they have had a couple decades to recover they are working hard to screw up the 21st as well.

    And now he is acting all insulted and claiming that what he says does not reflect what he feels. Also what he does.

    Probably the worst most sickening post I have seen here in a very long time. Worse than Ron's copy and paste "coon" post because you actually wrote it yourself.

    Timing. They don't get it. They think anytime is the right time.

    It's not really about what skydivers are willing to pay. It's about selling tandem rides to the public like carnival rides. If skydiving went back to a thing that was done for recreation by people with a passion for it there would not be a push for commercial operating rules. Go to any website for any DZ and see who this is being marketed to.

    It kind of takes the shine off of the city on the hill, doesn't it?

    Most likely you needed the canopy to collapse. This is what allows tension knots to release, removing the tension. Congratulations on not giving up and saving the day.

    God is going to kill each and every one of us sooner or later. No point in resisting like some frightened evolutionist.

    You should try requesting in the gear and rigging forum. Most people avoid this one because it is dominated by the Cooper thread.

    The plains Bison in North America were exterminated on purpose in order to starve the native population who depended on them. They were mostly shot and left to rot where they lie. No one thought their numbers were unlimited.

    Always look on the bright side of life!

    More to the point, fuck ‘em in the name of God.

    This is nothing more than a proposal to force DZs to maintain their aircraft, pilot training and operations to normal commercial standards like DZs must do everywhere else in the world. It will not be "devastating regulation". It will be requiring giving paying customers the same amount of assurance that the people selling airplane rides for money do in every other branch of commercial aviation. It is simply time for the industry to grow up and away from being a semi-outlaw sport. Those days are long gone. Skydivers should not be opposing these changes. They should be demanding them.

    They are caused by people. People kill people. What I don't get is why we don't want every nation to have thermonuclear weapons. After all, bombs don't kill people, nations kill people.

    This whole conversation is missing the fact that new vehicle inventory is up 70% over last year as the supply chain recovers. For all types of cars. Having stock in hand is a normal part of how companies make sales. If you don't have stock customers will often migrate away from you to someone who does. The Cox report clearly states that EV sales are on track as predicted. This would be why the troll did not link to it. https://www.coxautoinc.com/news/cox-automotive-forecast-june-2023-u-s-auto-sales-forecast/ As the market begins to turn toward EVs one part of the supply chain is dragging their heels somewhat. The car dealers have not yet made the investments they will soon be forced into. https://www.coxautoinc.com/news/new-cox-automotive-study-ev-consideration-at-record-high-but-dealers-feel-unprepared/

    An event on that level will happen someday and the disruption it causes will be monumental. Party on.
