Even 1 isu 90 is 100% more than you can put on a 135.

18 pallet positions vice 6...

You ignored the increased cargo carrying capacity. Granted that's not a tanker's primary mission... but the 46 is a vast improvement from the 135 in that aspect.

Considering it will contain a mobile command center, fully outfitted surgical center, a secure war room, hardened against EMP, new skin for stealthier profile, missile defense systems, inflation between now and the first flight- oh and $1.14B for researching the NEXT gen AF1.... see that right there is a large chunk of the $1.7B. edit: Not clear if that $1.14B is included in the $1.7B or if it's a separate request made to Congress.

No thanks.

JTR Appendix G Reimbursable expenses: "2. Expedited delivery. Reimbursable when authorized/approved by the AO." So if your approving official signed off on it, they have to pay it.

No they didn't. The first 3% pays dollar per dollar matching, the next 2% pays 50 cents on the dollar. FERS-RAE (those hired after Jan 2014) the employees contribute 4.4% and the gov contributes 12.6%

Totally agree. Why is no one asking the question why a victimless crime (Garner) was escalated to a violent confrontation by the PO when all that should have happened was the cop giving him a citation similar to a speeding ticket and going on his merry way? I have a few close friends and family members who are LEOs so don't think I'm a cop hater at all. But I am becoming more and more saddened by the "don't question my authority" attitude by some cops when a person stands up for their Constitutional rights. For example this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMlc0-LSMgA The cop gets mad when the individual, who is not doing anything illegal, refuses to give the cop his can of ice tea. There's no probable cause so the officer has no right to search the can. When his authority is questioned he tells the individual to leave under the threat of trespass. That officer is NOT the owner of that property and has no right to tell the individual to leave that property unless the property owner wants the customer to leave. But nonetheless his authority was questioned and he used that as an excuse to find something to arrest the individual on.

AGRs make more in their paychecks. Technicians get to collect two federal retirements and can double dip throughout the year. Both have their plusses and negatives but when you look at them on paper, over a career, the pay comes out about the same.

There were. At the International Military Tribunals for the Far East (also known as the Tokyo Trials) in 1946, "water torture" or the "water cure" was listed as one of the charges when prosecuting/executing Japanese war criminals.

Customink was the cheapest we found and they have great customer service.

Sorry- but I believe a lot of folks believe tort reform is a panacea when it's actually a placebo. The Courts is one of the only avenues available to the populace to right injustices done against us. To limit that avenue, in my mind, is not the right thing to do. To discourage frivolous lawsuits the courts should take a look at what's being done with the frivolous lawsuits being filed by patent trolls- lose your case without any validity and you pay the defense costs.

Malpractice payments account for less than 1% of the nation's health care costs each year.The size of malpractice damage awards has remained steady since 1991. Adjusted for inflation, the average malpractice payment has actually decreased since then. The number of payments for malpractice judgments of $1 million or more has never exceeded one-half of one percent of the annual total number of malpractice payments dating back to 1991. So while healthcare costs have risen drastically; malpractice payouts have actually decreased when adjusted for inflation. So are you telling me that because malpractice is costing us less that's what's driving up the cost of healthcare? In 2003 Texas passed a comprehensive tort reform amendment to their Constitution. In 10 years time they have seen a reduction by 2/3 the number of claims and a fall of 22% in average payout. Yet from 2005 - 2009 (only 4 years) healthcare costs in Texas rose 36.1%; nearly four times the inflation rate and over four times the population growth. So malpractice costs when down significantly, yet healthcare costs rose significantly... What does drive up the cost of health care is doctors ordering excessive and unnecessary care (i.e. ordering a slew of tests that are unnecessary or of marginal value) because the doctor will get paid for ordering those services. 38 states already have tort reform laws in place limiting liability and 34 have laws limiting punitive damages... yet with well over half the nation living in states that have enacted tort reform we have not seen any positive effect on rising health care costs. Are you saying it's the malpractice insurance that's costing so much? How much would you guess malpractice insurance to be for a year? $20K? $50K? $100K? This doctor pays $2947.48 a year, the doctor above him pays $6 more a year. Other doctor's in his area pay a bit more depending on their specialty but only one group (OB/GYN) he felt paid too much.

How many tanks do you have and where are they located?

Then the absolute safest way is to stop all intentional commerce. Deny entry into the U.S. by anyone currently outside our borders. And quarantine every single citizen at the exact same time for 21 days. That way we'd be 100% certain there will be no cases. But I think that's over the top, just as illegally detaining a healthy person with negative test results is over the top. But if concentration camps are your final solution to this fear mongering. Be sure to be the first in line. The droplets won't transmit ebola just by landing on you. They'd have to enter into your system. So the sneeze would have to get in your eye, mouth, etc.

No, the experts are pretty set on the goalpost. " Stephen Gire, a researcher at the Harvard Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology who studies the Ebola genome, said if someone who is showing symptoms sneezed directly on you from within 3 feet, it could, technically, transfer the virus. But people further away wouldn’t have to worry about those particles lingering in the air. Under very limited conditions the virus could survive outside the body, Gire said. First, the fluid would have to remain in liquid form. Once it dried up, the virus would die. Second, it would have to be a very cool and dark setting. "It has to be a highly engineered environment for Ebola to survive in this environment," Gire said. "Stable temperature; on the right type of surface; not exposed to light, etc. These are highly, highly unlikely scenarios in nature and normal environments, and should not be seen as something that is likely to happen." https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2014/oct/29/barack-obama/barack-obama-says-you-cant-get-ebola-riding-bus-or/

Also note Tricare is now not paying 6 months retroactive to orders. Benefits start on orders start date. Another cost saving measure at the member's expense.

Habeas Corpus. Look it up.

Nope, no problem. I'm not, nor is ny family, going to touch, taste, ingest or inhale either of these two people's puke, piss or shit.

I get what you're saying, but "could become" isn't enough in my mind to forfeit basic human freedom.

My bad. Bad memory- I thought it was the guy that flew in from Liberia and the initial nurse that had contracted it were the two that died. I guess she ended up pulling through.

https://www.cdc.gov/workplacehealthpromotion/implementation/topics/immunization.html "An average of 36,000 deaths and over 200,000 hospitalizations associated with influenza occur each year in the United States1-2 "

I'll take the expert medical advice of doctors and the cdc who say they can detect it before 21 days over some anonymous dude on a flyers forum. You realize she was in there for less than 21 days, right? The absolute absurb? There's been exactly TWO deaths in the U.S. - as opposed to 40K a year. You tell me what's more absurd... shitting on the Constitution without cause or quarantining an actual verifiable threat to public health that causes tens of thousands of deaths a year?
