The only applicability of “democratic” in that sense is they were all stupid enough to vote for it via a democratic process, and ironically that currently valid democratic process would soon disappear entirely if their ill-informed plan actually played out fully.

I will be completely stunned if anything in the report suggests an alternative outcome. It's hard enough to deal with an engine failure during takeoff, but when the engine completely explodes, to expect someone to analyze that in seconds is already a heavy lift. It's what we're trained to do, but that doesn't mean it's easy. But to then have to analyze a second engine starting to fail? No way. And all for what? Based on where the plane was on the runway in the videos we've seen, there was no stopping, and there was no going. At that point you're just arguing over where to put the fireball. I sincerely hope for the sake of the maintainers who were working on that engine over the past couple months that they too are the victims of Fate, and not something that's going to make them feel like murderers for the rest of their lives.

These people are absolutely socialist to their core. If they didn’t throw “democratic” in front of socialist they wouldn’t have a chance of getting elected.

This. https://www.marxists.org/subject/economy/authors/pe/pe-ch40.htm "Communist society passes through two phases of development: the lower phase known as Socialism, and the higher phase known as Communism." That's from the writings of the Economics Institute of the USSR. As Brabus said, it's merely a pit stop on the way to a communist society. Even Marx and Engels didn't really distinguish between Socialism and Communism in their writings. To them, it was all part of the same project. I'm not even convinced anymore that the Left thinks it's a good, workable economic system. I think that's a mask they use to hide envy and a misanthropic desire to destroy things that they can't have or otherwise haven't achieved. It's a hope, desire, and bet on future Schadenfreude.

A buddy who is a long time captain at Delta posted today basically saying through no fault of your own sometimes your luck just runs out. I know they will find the cause and I seriously doubt there was thing anyone of these guys could have done. Same for the people on the ground including a baby from reporting. Rest in peace.

Trump and Hegseth have signaled potential obstacles to post service employment...we shall see if it happens. I was an SVP at a company and they sent me to the Kenan-Flagler Business School at UNC for a senior executive leadership development program. While I was there I met a lady who newly hired to be our company CIA account VP. Her name sounded familiar so I googled her and discovered she was one of the 51 that signed the Russia Intel Memo about the Hunter Biden Latptop. I was absolutely stunned, does anyone bother to check these things? Trump was elected and he revoked her security clearance, she was gone the next day.

Probably cronyism. Thing is, the WH/DoD is not on his side, so why hire what amounts to a burning sack of shit into your company? Anyone here think Hesgeth loses track of him and the company benefits from his hire? Bold strategy, Cotton.

Access is all that matters, which might come back to bite them in the long run.

Do companies know what POS/D-bag/use your favorite adjective they’re hiring with these types and just don’t care, or are they ignorant to it because they only read the resume and heard what they needed to hear in the informal/formal interviews. How is a guard unit so much better at vetting people than billion dollar companies.
