When it comes to purchasing power it most certainly does. Even without the loss of purchasing power from inflation his DOW and S&P gain are almost a wash and his "pure" loss on the NASDAQ is 11%...building back better!

How about now? DJIA 32,432 = today - 8.5% inflation = 29586 S&P500 = 4108 today - 8.5% inflation = 3759 You didn't include the NASDAQ before: NASDAQ close 20 Jan 2021 = 13,197.18 NASDAQ today = 11,700.66 - 8.5% inflation = 10706 Your boy is knocking it out of the park, it just gets better and better, we are all so much better off.

You got the memo on no black boots and calling it a “heritage room” too right? Also, don’t look for porn in the shitters anymore…

I enjoy watching liberals argue how the economy isn’t actually bad. Everything is more expensive. Costs have gone up, purchasing power is down. It’s obvious. But keep trying this Jedi mind trick, it might work!

Progressives: You need to adjust the minimum wage for inflation. Also progressives: When the market is up, you don’t adjust for inflation.

Love her podcast. Their "Friday special" covered the ruling, and they were very fair about the realities of the division and the point of having States decide.

Have two kids in their 20's now, we lost another two to miscarriage, when we were dating, we had a surprise, she told me and told her not to worry. I had already made up my mind that she was the one before that happened. When I deployed later, she aborted it, don't feel right calling it an it. She told me that she didn't want it to be the reason I married her. What I felt the most was guilt, my actions of carnal lust caused her to be put her into a position to make such a choice. Later in life I watched this news story about a little boy who fell through ice, they got him out but was declared dead. But later he later he showed life and fully recovered. He was talking to his parents about when he was dead he met his grandfather who died before he was born, he also talked about his sister who died in miscarriage before he was conceived. She told him her name and her soul will grow with age as if she was born and matured. His parents never told him before the accident about her so he had no knowledge before. That would make a believer out of me but it gave me hope, maybe when it's my time the first one plus the other two miscarriages will be there and I can beg for forgiveness for being selfish in my actions. I judge this whole argument on my feelings as one affected by it, just like suicide it is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. When women do this don't tell me it doesn't effect them mentally unless they are total sociopath . I believe most fathers are not even told. Everyone is different but I can't get around the guilt I feel, I wonder what have could have been good or bad.

Possibly one of the most compelling, but more importantly balanced treatments on the subject that I've ever come across.

Yup, there it is. Thanks for the point out, I remember complaining about that during my last round of stan/eval testing and then forgot due to old age and 20+ years of referencing an 11-217. I also found a briefing from AFFSA that describes how I feel. I’m the short guy in the picture.

^^ I for one am someone who does not agree with what seems to be the forthcoming decision to overturn Roe and Casey, but I do not condone protesting outside Kavanaugh’s house. Folks should have a reasonable right to privacy in their own homes and I also think it’s counterproductive in almost all cases. If I were to protest, it would be outside the Court itself. I agree with the following: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/05/09/stop-protesting-outside-supreme-court-justice-houses/

Looks like unfertilized eggs. Could be wrong though.

Here's a few from back in the day (mid to late 80s timeframe): ANG C-5 crew makes unscheduled stop in New England to take on a few crates of lobsters handed to them from a truck at EOR. Lobsters no big deal had the stop been scheduled, but making an impulsive lobster run on the fly (so-to-speak) is what got them in trouble. Another ANG C-130 crew loaded a 15-pax van and followed their local NBA team around the country during the playoffs. Unconfirmed but was told a USAFE based -130 crew was doing an unauthorized ferry of a classic 57ish Chevy from Turkey to England. Customs and home station USAFE folks were waiting on the ramp to fry the crew upon arrival. Someone at home squadron alerts crew via secure comms. Chevy pushed out back of the Herk and now sleeps with the fishes at the bottom of the Med. A classic "we know what you did but can't prove anything situation".

How 'bout that $5 gas too!!! I'm ridin' with Biden!!

No porn in the shitter was an easy kill…I mean now days you could have non binary males that could take offense to said light stall reading. One would know that if they did their annual LBGTQZQZ+ training. Also no sexual innuendo objects in the “heritage room”, may offend the SARM troop and cause an Air Force wide purge of said inappropriate material.

While we're on the subject.....

Kodak, Have you approached the Life Flight guys at Milton? I bet they have some great stories as well.

It was merged into just the AFMAN 11-202 series. So 202v3 and your MAJCOM sups are where you wanna be reading.

And is this guy for real?!? 🤣🤣🤣

I don't know who is more annoying between him and Jim Adler...

Definitely interested in some AFSOC/ AF flight test stories! If anyone is ever interested, please feel to DM or reach out at safeondeck@gmail.com directly. For clarity, this isn’t project for money/ likes/ clicks/ etc. I don’t make a penny (if fact the recording gear gets expensive!) and have zero plans ever to. My goal is to professionally share those cool stories we have all heard around the squadron bar/ wardroom with folks who don’t otherwise have the opportunity to be there.

Here's the latest mushroom cloud on Snake Island.

Took me almost five years to build the story, and it might not make me any friends in publishing it, but Schultz’ honour deserves to be defended: Doc Schultz' Area 51 Mishap: The Details Revealed https://youtu.be/zidJB6qxlKs

It's almost like the country is divided on the topic and localizing the issue allows for a more flexible and tailored solution.

The level of intellectual dishonesty shown by the pro-abortion crowd is astounding. It’s the most frustrating part of the whole argument. You all know damn well that life begins at conception. After conception, life is just a series of periods of growth and development followed by decline and death. It’s a simple circle of life. You just won’t say you understand that out loud. Instead, you all come up with endless endless endless arguments about why you are for abortion as a distraction from the truth. Just admit that you’re pro-self and that a baby will interrupt your life, finances, work, goals, etc. I’d have a whole lot more respect for you and your argument if you were just truthful about your reasoning.

That is hands down the most evil, sick and twisted description of a mother carrying her own child I have ever read. And it is exactly why the pro-life side should, and I believe will win in the end. This type of thinking is how you justify aborting babies up to the moment of birth.

This type of hyperbole is absolutely ridiculous. Have you forgotten it was only a few years ago Isis was running slave markets and murdering entire schools full of children? do you think women in Afghanistan right now agree with your assessment on worldwide evil? Christians using the democratic process to advocate for their beliefs is more evil than the Chinese government locking people in homes until the whole family starves? you may disagree with conservative Christians or anybody else, but you can’t fault somebody for attempting to vote on issues that are important to them in a democratic system where we are supposed to vote on issues that are important to us.

You need to get out more. We are all products of our life’s experiences. My personal views are shaped by a few things. I did get my daughter’s mom pregnant when we were dating. She considered getting an abortion. I was living through the worst part of my life when that happened. Raising her was really hard in the beginning and it took a lot of sacrifices. We got through it. She’s 23 and is the light of my life. I dated a girl once who had an abortion before she met me. She was emotionally ruined by the experience. She regretted that decision to her core. My buddy and his wife had their daughter at 24 weeks. His wife had preeclampsia. Their daughter turns 7 this weekend. She’s a happy and healthy child. The medical community is making incredible progress towards helping women with medical issues while they are pregnant. There are answers to problems we encounter in life whether they are self induced or not. I don’t believe killing our children is the answer.

When does life begin?
