Comment Whole bunch of fees eh? (Score 1) 23

Like say checking a single bag or say reducing legroom for 50% of the plane so you can make 40% a little roomier and charge for the privilege?

I mean I get his point but it's a little rich for any airline CEO to sit here and not say the entire industry changed to a more-fees model, wait some amount of years and then act like you all didn't coordinate this over time.

The Design of Airline Route Networks

Also this recent video I found very interesting in how it breaks down the approach to flight routes the 3 major US airlines (AA, United, Delta) each use and the point they make is that routes is how they compete against each other rather than with prices and features which they all keep in somewhat parity with each other.

"just to be on the safe side" and "i take care of my teeth" does not address anything about flouride in drinking water or whatever cost/benefit analysis we take toward the matter.

You have to present something real. I'll start

This cost-effectiveness analysis using data for 8484 children (mean age, 9.6 years) from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey for 2013 to 2016 found that elimination of fluoride would be associated with an increase in tooth decay of 7.5 percentage points and cost approximately $9.8 billion over 5 years."

Personally I don't think the ISP's would even bother asking any other administration to do such a thing after losing in court so much but I imagine they know this admin is able to be coerced quite easily.

It's all the scapegoats the admin loves; Regulations in blue states, "overreach" by the Judicial branch and since it's about low income families that means one thing baby, DEI and there's no such thing as poor white people. Let's go and sue the states!

We should expect nepo babies to be more qualified, they are getting every single advantage in life to put them ahead of the pack. They likely grew up wealthy, went to the best schools, met the powerful people, made the right connections so they should be supremely qualified versus the competition. The man is a fucking Kennedy, the closest thing this country had to a royal family.

What do we get though? A guy who fried his brain on heroin, transported dead animals around in his car and who did nothing but fluff charity work for his entire life and got his mind melted on alternative media and conspiracy theorists. It's a sad fucking state of affairs.

I'm cracking open this hot take but Hunter Biden was far more qualified to work on the board at Burisma than RFK is to be anywhere close to HHS much less lead it, but we can only be mad about one of those things.

that's documented by their own hands

You're gonna have to explain that, if they are liars how do you know they are lying without an alternate set of facts you reference? Who is presenting you a climate analysis that is different? Do share the data that proves the previous data was lies.

If someone made a prediction and it turns out to be false that's because of additional measurements to the contrary. Do you have those measurements? Who is making them? If it's the same people making the predictions, well, that's literally science. You are sounding incoherent.

Comment Re:The jobs are never coming back (Score 1) 62

Question is would they have the same opinion about that service job if it paid more than the factory or would they work at the factory for less money than the service job.

To me that is the crux of this whole argument, the factory or no factory is 99/100 a spiritual argument and not an economic one, that working in a factory is "more fulfilling" in some way.

If wages for workers is the issue then lets just deal with that first. What manufacturing we need should be determined by other factors and subsidized accordingly.

That was my point, they were all for it when Bush was in charge, Obama gets in and suddenly they are back to believing in rule of law.

I am just trying to remind people Republicans have always been liars. Only took a couple whiffs of power for them to turn fash. I could have been more clear about that.

Why do we care where the co2 comes from if we are comparing nation states, it all ends up in the same place in the end. That's a fallacious distraction argument.

We use per capita because it levels out ALL the sources for a nation and because some sources are easier to supplant than others.

Also "most" in general doesn't mean "less than 1/4" which is what industry accounts for in the USA.
