You don't say. Who would have thunk it.

He made a follow up if you want to give him a couple more clicks -

Yes the county will take on the debt, but that debt will be paid off by the taxes levied on Disney property. The county will have to increase their personnel, again at the cost in taxes, which will mostly be paid by Disney. The left is trying to claim this is going to be a huge cost to the people that live in that county. I doubt it.
I can't find an unbiased explanation. What taxes is Disney currently paying or not paying? From what I gather it doesn't appear like much, they are just funding everything on their own right now with no tax burden to themselves?

So it looks like Disney is going to lose a lot of money after their “go woke get broke” comments. The question I have is: Did their leadership decide to go all in with leftists talking points, etc because they believe it’s just the right thing to do (regardless of the consequences) or did they really think this would improve their position financially?
It actually looks like neither side has any idea of the potential ramifications. It's pretty funny. Glad I'm not in the area affected by it.

On the surface it doesn't add up. Also, google the "heritage foundation" and it's connections to Lockheed in the last decade.

Recently received my M.S. in Aviation Safety. My capstone project was on this flight and what went wrong. It's an incredibly shallow view to just label it as pilot error and be done with it. There were so many questionable things that happened here from the training of the pilot, the structure of Atlas Air, to the cockpit design itself.
I don't think anyone is arguing that. It's rarely down to a single pilot error. In this case, the pilot error was pretty significant though. Over and over again.

Aircrew’ll be fine. There’s gonna be some backlash from a good chunk of the FAs though (if this sticks). I never minded them enforcing the mandate (decision was made above their paygrade) but holy shit some of them got pretty over-zealous about it. Won’t miss some of the preflight spiels about masking between sips, bites, etc.
My response was more along the lines of these folks having to deal with the ruling today and the potential delay in an actual TSA/FAA/Whoever decision on what rules/laws are being followed. There are daily videos of people getting thrown off planes or fights from these stupid masks.

I think a lot of clickbait articles like this are AI written now and just grab feeder info from social media and patchwork sentences together about the general topic. You can tell because the tone of the article is completely different than what the tone should be about a tragedy/travesty like this.

Here's the latest (just now hitting the news cycle):
"Russian Navy’s Black Sea flagship RTS Moskva (121) has sunk while being towed toward Sevastopol, Crimea, after sustaining major damage in a fire Wednesday, Russian state media said on Thursday.
“During the towing of the Moskva cruiser to the port of destination, the ship lost its stability due to damage to the hull received during the fire from the detonation of ammunition. In the conditions of stormy seas, the ship sank,” the Russian ministry of defense told the TASS newswire."

I happily don't wear a mask unless it's absolutely a requirement to do something (air travel, etc.)
That said, I constantly hear your complaint from the same crowd who have long preached that it didn't matter what anyone else does, so long as they didn't force masks or vaccines on anyone else. Ted Cruz, our favorite Canadian-turned-Texan, recently went on a tirade against Mr. T of all people, because Mr. T publicly said he was going to continue to social distance. Ted Cruz apparently still cares, and it seems like you really do care, a lot, about what other people around you are doing.
I saw westerners in Kabul, a decade ago, exercising outdoors with masks on (very poor air quality, leaded gas in shitty generators, etc.) While I found that precaution excessive, it didn't bother me to the point that I'd go online and rail against it. If a middle-schooler wants to run a race in a mask, or get a dumb haircut, or wear stupid clothes, then so be it.
I honestly don't care about what adults do. I do care about young impressionable kids having this forced on them by their parents who are still cowering in the corner on this.

I was at an Army installation in Europe earlier this year and you were required to wear mask while working out in the gym. Maybe it was the same in the AF at the time but I have my own gym so I don't know. But it was the stupid idea I've ever heard. Wonder how many people have passed out lifting more than they should be able to on reduced oxygen.
At my kids middle school track meet there were more than two hands worth of kids running sprints/long distances in masks. Outside track. We haven't had a mask requirement in school here for almost a year now. We've messed up a giant chunk of the population.
Have a coworker who's sibling's family have isolated since this kicked off years ago. Both work from home with amazon and IBM. Groceries are delivered and disenfected. They have two toddlers who haven't been outside the home for other than doctors visits. They are leaving the house next week to drive to Cali so there toddlers can be part of the vaccine study on under 5's.

I would bet downgrades are pretty common in most communities. Not really something to be concerned about though unless you're consistently getting them or if multiple could rise to the level of a q2 or 3.
Yeah not a big deal in the slightest until it's a trend, just had a discussion with some buddies and we were talking about it.

A well trained/experienced team of four (plus security personnel) could most likely accomplish this task in about 40 minutes or so but there could be lots of other time - consuming task/variables, particularly if installing multiple electric/mechanical triggering devices, etc. Keeping it simple = The team would have to do a detailed recon of the area/rehearse the plan of attack, prep all the demo material like cut the 5 det cord branch lines/sensitize all five det cord branch lines/check electric blasting caps/test initiation system/prep the 5 demo charges (example - M183 Satchel Charges/20lbs of C-4 each - which looks like about the approximate size of the charges used in this video), etc, etc. Next step - when the time is right the team gets to work putting everything in place IAW with the plan. Final steps/Command Detonation Mode - one person stays down range and everyone else heads to the safe area. Final hook-up takes about a minute or so = make a small hole in the ground a couple feet from the det cord main line, place the electric blasting cap/detonator (explosive end/nose down in the hole, turn the receiver switch to the armed position - most receivers have a built-in safe separation timer), after 30 second if the electric blasting cap hasn't detonated connect it to the det cord main line. Head to the safe/reviewing stand area, fire up the popcorn machine, and watch/wait for your target to arrive - then press and hold the transmitter fire button = boom.

Retirement / Separation Considerations
in General Discussion
I can't think of any situation where being retirement eligible and not doing it makes any sense. You can retire and still fly guard/reserve as mentioned above.
