uhhello

I was hoping it was Alice In Chains before the preview populated. My absolute favorite.

From what i'm seeing it only got to 1660 feet altitude on takeoff as well.

Last ADSB hit had it at -11000 fpm

Spokespeople are saying those are 'billed to' not shipped to locations. Quibbling point.

This will continue happening when all our controllers are dwarfs

The old b-2 handles pulled and try harder pops up on mfd

They are dumping heaps of money into the PHX area chip plant. It's biggest issue was finding qualified folks to do the work. Got years behind but apparently is spinning up much faster now. https://restofworld.org/2024/tsmc-arizona-expansion/

God damn son. Getting shit done. In a sweeping move, the White House just ordered every federal agency to stop all grants and loans - effective tomorrow at 5pm. White House Office of Management and Budget acting director Matthew Vaeth: "Career appointees have a duty to align Federal spending with Presidential priorities" The pause impacts everything from foreign aid to domestic programs, while the administration reviews where taxpayer money should go.

dishonorable discharges are a pretty big deal. Not going to get it for refusing an order in 'peace time'

I think there is a greater enforcement fear compared to the pre-2021 days. There are going to be a lot more self deportations and greater scrutiny on the businesses benefitting from the illegal workers. No way around ripping off the band aid though.

That's what I was assuming

Don't forget to throw the VA into the process as well. I would imagine the great majority are drawing some form of disability. Does that get paid back?

No disagreement. Just saying the disruption won't be 'minor' for quite a while.

To estimate the back pay for a married E-5 service member with one dependent, discharged in October 2021 and reinstated in January 2025, we need to consider the following components: 1. Basic Pay: This is determined by rank and years of service. 2. Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH): Varies based on duty station location, rank, and dependency status. 3. Basic Allowance for Subsistence (BAS): A standard rate provided to all service members. Assumptions: Years of Service: Well assume 6 years of service as of October 2021. Duty Station: Since the location isn’t specified, we’ll use the national average for BAH rates. Basic Pay: Based on the 2021 military pay tables, an E-5 with over 6 years of service earned approximately $3,306.30 per month. BAS: In 2021, the BAS rate for enlisted members was $386.50 per month. BAH: BAH rates vary significantly based on location. For this estimate, well use a national average BAH rate for an E-5 with dependents, which was approximately $1,800 per month in 2021. Total Monthly Compensation: Basic Pay: $3,306.30 BAS: $386.50 BAH: $1,800.00 Total: $5,492.80 per month Back Pay Calculation: The period from October 2021 to January 2025 spans 39 months. Total Back Pay = $5,492.80*39 = $214,219.20 Note: This is a rough estimate. Actual back pay would depend on specific duty station BAH rates, any changes in pay scales over the period, and other potential allowances or deductions. For precise calculations, it™s advisable to consult the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) or a military pay specialist.

The flawless execution of this process will be a sight to see

It most definitely is going to have an impact nation wide on the labor industry. There are hundreds of tweets showing factory/business parking lots empty due to the deportation fears. Lots of industries probably freaking out internally knowing a large chunk of their workforce isn't supposed to be working for them. Will be interesting.

Also, someone who is about to lose their job said, “yeah cut it, this will get em riled up”

The govt is incapable of precision. Giant actions only. Same with the fed hiring freeze. Lots of needed positions not being filled currently. It’ll work out.

Fantastic look at 'small space' Wild Wild Space https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32258850/

Wow. Trump just supposedly declassified ALOT of JFK and name your potential conspiracy of interest documents. Kennedy assasinations, MLK, and others. Govt has 45 days to comply.

They lost 25% their personal income tax base in 2023. Don't understand why people would want to leave..... California Lost $102 Billion in Income Due to Migration of Taxpayers, Tax Data Shows. More than $102 billion in income left California from 2020 to 2022 as people migrated to other states, according to IRS data cited in a July 31 report from the Legislative Analyst's Office

Really hope Congress can pull its head from its ass and actually put some of these exec orders into law. This shit is stupid. Republicans lose in 4 years and new guy just comes in and rolls everything back. I can't imagine the amount of bureaucracy and flail involved every 4 years getting some of this shit actually working.

they went from a $100 buh billion surplus to a $45 buh billion deficit in two years.
