How long until he starts building hours? A year or so from now will have a solid one coming available.

Austin was getting close (no surprise), but the state finally intervened and while it's still bad, it's getting better!

I've never seen homeless shitting in the streets in Texas, even in Austin where homeless are a big issue! It's well know to be a major problem in California. Burying your head in the sand doesn't make it go away!

Cost of living primarily.

I love California and hate who/how the state is run. I have a beautiful home in San Diego that overlooks the airport, bay, and North Island... And we've had my wife's car broken into once and a homeless man come onto my patio, steal her shoes and a weightlifting belt I had on my squat rack. We also have a really nice property six hours North of San Francisco where the only things you run into are deer, black bears, and mountain lions. I agree that California is probably the most diversely beautiful state. I just wish that it wasn't controlled by the Bay Area and LA populace. I'm hopeful that people are waking up. Spencer Pratt's Mayoral campaign seems to be going quite well. Can he win? I don't know, but I hope that he does.

If you’re up for an honest debate: Why do you think so many people are leaving California for other states?

AETC is inept? There is talk of MAF FTUs going to AMC as well but likely will stay with AETC; AMC barely has the manning and resources to cover its own ops equities.

Thinking about a second plane so my son can build hours. Debating between an RV (Never flown one and admittedly don't know much about them), or a Cherokee or something in that class. I had no idea RV-8s were going for so much...RV-4 more appropriate?

Going to buy a lottery ticket now…

Yes, I 100% approve of suing the fed gov, and if they’re found liable in court/settle, pay the affected Americans. Holding the fed gov accountable for its actions is not a controversial point.

Mountain Home yesterday

Airbus A220 went off-roading yesterday.

Buddy my job is literally to travel around the country and stay in different cities. Just because it happens sometimes in other cities doesn't mean there's a comparison. California has been orders of magnitude worse since the pandemic. And it's not even close.

So, you approve?

So 19AF can now solely focus on continuing to gut the UPT enterprise

I love CA. That being said, I've yet to see anything in the US that rivals skid row in Los Angeles. It's pretty bad there. It's almost like they gave up on that part of the city.

It’s irrelevant that he’s president; he’s not getting paid. But hopefully Americans who were persecuted by the fed gov will be - and that’s precisely what he is advocating. Yeah it’s tax payer money, like it always has been long before this specific lawsuit, and will always be in the future. Hence, stupid rage bait relying on people to not do any research or invoke critical thinking.

The majority. If you seriously think the majority of states have problems to the same level of CA, you are taking some serious crazy pills. It’s OK to love your state, but you can do that and also acknowledge the historic problems and work to fix those problems. To pretend like they’re not there or that they are “the same problems everywhere else has,” is at best, some serious Stockholm syndrome-level thinking.

Gentlemen, if you.will indulge the words of this OFG, I will give you the 121 sec synopsis of available medical data. The term for the problem is : Reptitive CERVICAL strain in Fighter pilots. It is a wide spread problem and the RIVER RAT DOCS (Red River Valley Fighter Pilots Association) is working to have it accepted as a know disability by the VA. Are neck problems likely if you fly a fighter ? Yes. Are likely to create a smoking hole in the ground from G loc? YES. Flying at Mach 1.5 and 9 G is dangerous business but in my opinion as a Doc and Pilot it is worth it. If they offered me a chance to join a squadron of old guys to fly but I had to give up a testicle... . I would ask them which one do you want and when do we start If anyone on this thread wants the studies or bibliography , I can be reached at JavadocF16@gmail.com

What magic state doesn’t have these issues?

I could only play 6-9 seconds of that retard talking. It's like Tucker Carlson and RuPaul had a love child.

Then Trump should order the right thing. Defer the case until he is Mr Trump again. Remove all (well, kinda sorta) influence and control over this settlement. Also, no matter how you tag it, move it, or hold it, its still tax payer money.

Congrats, it's still rage bait. Good work with the ad hominin though, it really proves your point and definitely makes me want to believe that your opinions are the correct ones.

Didn't realize we were arguing analogies... I'll restate it another way to not cause confusion. Europe didn't take heed of Germany's actions and allowed a violent, immoral, cult centered regime to gain substantial military strength which resulted in millions of lives lost, all because they were afraid of starting another war. The war that eventually occurred could have been prevented with earlier action. Iranian leadership is immoral, cult centered (at the very least they adhere to a radical view of Islam), and has gained substantial military strength, just not a nuclear weapon as of yet. Oh yeah, and both regimes actively worked toward the slaughter of the Jewish people. Cambridge Dictionary: Not following accepted standards of morally right behavior or thought. Hopefully you agree that a regime that is directly responsible for terrorist attacks including Oct 7th is immoral, unless you're a Khamenei follower. You'll have to ask the Iranian leadership, oh wait the majority of the ones in power have all been smoked. Are they less likely to continue building a nuke so they can destroy Israel per their stated claim? It depends if we kill enough of their leaders who actually thinks its their destiny to do so. Destroying all their toys will help as well. No. None. The premise of the question itself is invalid. The odds for Israel invading Iran would be better than 1 million to 1 if Iranian leaders hadn't funded terrorists to rape and torture Jews for the last 47 years and in general work towards the mass genocide of their population. It also doesn't help when their leaders say things like this ad nauseum: Major General Hossein Salami declared that the destruction of Israel was no longer just a dream, but an "achievable goal". He added that the regime had obtained "the capacity to destroy the impostor Zionist regime." More healthy. Reference the above points regarding the continued neutering of their radical leaders. Additionally, the alternative here to the current action, would be inaction. Which is what we've been doing for the last 47 years. Unless your assessment is the cultist, immoral, and evil leaders of the regime will wake up one day with a nuclear capability and suddenly decide they don't really believe it's their destiny to destroy Israel or launch a nuke at the US. Iran with a handful of nukes. The US Congress and the President still work at the pleasure of their constituents. If you disagree with the rule of law, then by all means exercise your rights. When my parents were younger they didn't fear that the Legislative Branch was ceding too much power to the Executive Branch. They feared a nuclear war from a country that, compared to the Iranian regime, was ran by some very level headed individuals. More dangerous. You mean do I fear politicians that act like politicians? No. Unless they allow Iran to acquire nukes. Then I'll just do my best to fire them, i.e. VOTE. Also, your "Final Question" was 2 questions...

It’s rage bait all over the news, and here’s why: Trump can’t take a dime of the awarded money The headlines/articles act like this is a potential new “line item” that will be added on the budget. Reality is this money already exists and is earmarked precisely for paying out lawsuits won against the fed gov. It was always going to be used to pay claims The DOJ, IRS, FBI, etc. was substantially weaponized by Obama and Biden - zero issues with people receiving compensation for getting unfairly/illegally fucked by the fed gov. Any rational American should support that - it shouldn’t be a partisan issue
