I know it's uncool to actually read things, but the Biden admin/WH aren't calling this an infrastructure only plan. It's "The American Jobs Plan."

I can also see younger pilots with younger children being attracted to the regional flights. Hopping around the Midwest in an RJ might be less interesting, but you'll likely be back at home every night, and if for example you get up at way-too-early o'clock and start flying first thing in the morning, your spouse can see the kids off to school, and you'll time out in time to get back home to pick them up. For the senior pilots in their 50s and 60s who are more often flying the international legs, their kids are going to be high-school age if not off at college, so it matters less that you might only be home every couple of days.Take BUR-LAS for example. It's reliably 40-45 minutes of flight time through two different Class-B areas. It takes around 45 minutes to clean, refuel, and resupply, and up they go again. So that's generally 7 takeoffs and 7 landings per duty shift, which are the most dangerous phases of a flight. And in the case of BUR, arrivals are a little challenging, as the main runway used for arrivals is only like 5800'; float too long in the ground effect and you could end up on a busy surface street at the other end.
And those long-haul routes also often have more than one crew managing the flight. I know on our flight to Singapore there were two complete sets of flight deck officers, and a little more than two sets of cabin crew.

He was open to compromise on COVID relief and it was clear to him very quickly that it was a fool’s errand. But he did try.
With infrastructure there should be some wiggle room, since this isn’t one of the platforms where republicans play loose with people’s lives and livelihoods. But ultimately republicans simply don’t have ideas and don’t want to govern. It’s gonna be tough to get this done, I think. If there’s one free pass to break the filibuster it will be for voters rights - not this.

I think he's talking about compromising with Manchin. The GOP will never compromise.

Here’s how the compromise will go...
Biden: 2 trillion?
GOP: zero
Biden: 1.5 trillion?
GOP: zero
Biden: 1 trillion?
GOP: zero.
Biden: okay, I’m done here
GOP: see?!?!? He won’t compromise with us!

This happened not too terribly far from me. And it turns out I know the doctor personally. I thought I recognized the name, but received confirmation this morning.
https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/08/us/york- ... index.htmlAt least five people are dead after what authorities are calling a "case of a mass shooting" at a home in York County, South Carolina.
The victims of the Wednesday evening shooting near Rock Hill included a doctor, his wife and their two grandchildren, the York County Sheriff's Office said in a tweet. The family was "very prominent and very well known" in the county, York County Sheriff spokesman Trent Faris said.

I saw there was a manhunt underway up near you, but I hadn’t heard the details. Horrendous. Sounds like a disgruntled neighbor - maybe the work going at the house or something. Doesn’t matter, still awful.This happened not too terribly far from me. And it turns out I know the doctor personally. I thought I recognized the name, but received confirmation this morning.

I wish we could figure out a way to get people to solve grievances without killing people. I’m still thinking about that double murder suicide over shoveling a driveway that someone posted here a few months ago (the one caught on security footage). Obviously, MOST people can work things out without killing a bunch of people, but why not all?

Because guns make it extremely easy to kill someone. Point, pull trigger, dead. Don't even have time to reconsider your actions, and you don't give your intended victim an opportunity to defend themselves.

I'm curious what scientific research Alex Jones is citing when he says the mRNA vaccine builds "plaque in the brain" and we'll all be dead in 10 years
