Yes I have heard of Warp Speed, and fully believe it was the reason the vaccine was developed so quickly.

Are you really so dense that you believe complete rubbish that has been quoted to you?

Sorry I guess I'm going to have to ask a more specific question. Do you have an example of anybody owning a few million $ in bitcoin *exchanging ALL of it* for something that is not Bitcoin or another cryptocurrency or crypto asset. The fact that you can exchange a small amount of bitcoin for the equivalent amount of dollars does not prove anything.

There are examples of people exchanging their entire hold of hundreds of millions in gold or stocks, without the value of those commodities crashing. Would like proof this is the same for bitcoin.

Do you have ANY examples of somebody exchanging more than about 1 bitcoin for anything other than other cryptocurrency?

With a wild twisting of words this author added "meaning the emissions were dumped up-front in China's coal plants" to try to make this sound bad.

ALL "manufacturing emissions" are "dumped up-front". There is not something special about China or using coal. And even with the 2x or more CO2 emissions of coal, a solar power panel replaces all that CO2 emission in just a few months, which is an awful lot better than a lot of other things that people claim are green.

Most of the world's oil technology was developed using coal power
Most of the world's coal technology was developed using wood power
Most of the world's wood technology was developed using driftwood and animal technology

and so on and so on. These gotcha-memes never really stand up to examination of any kind, much less close examination.

Damn you ruined my joke. You are right

It seems dubious to me that water in the fuel would have reached all 3 engines simultaneously, especially if one of them was not running.

I'm guessing they can tell from the wreckage that it was not running? And it should have been running by the time of the crash due to the power failure that triggered the emergency windmill generator (forgot what that is called). Is this correct? If so yea it sounds like 3 engines failed, which seems to me to mean a pretty major electronics failure?

Isn't the APU turned off during normal flight?

All crashes are due to the jet being too close to the ground.

He absolutely was hit by the shock wave from a passing bullet, which caused visible damage to his ear.
Yes the metal of the bullet did not touch him, if it had there would not be much left of that side of his head.

WTF? You think the US government trusted what the Soviets said?

Also that is "federal income taxes". The poor pay a huge higher percentage of their income on sales taxes and fees than the rich.

So the bottom 50% have 2.5% of the wealth, and pay 3% of the taxes. Got it.

Things are getting really bad when some of the top 10% are now considered part of the middle. There is a cutoff, maybe 5%, above which the effective tax rate goes way down.
