Less than the 63% N1 that kept the plane on speed and glidepath with the autopilot on.

Remember this guy? Maybe this an example of how? Also, when someone does this, media types will pile on the last 5 incidents in the article and insinuate they're all probably that company's fault.

Sim landings are never hard I guess.

I could use your whole post and replace the name with D. Trump. Or a Biden. Don't pretent the rest are angels. The D. stands for dishonorable.

Oooh, Putin better not piss off Trump, or he'll get The Tweet. See, there's The Tweet, and then there's the Mozam Tweet. That's where you can feel his breath as you read the tweet. Shits gonna get real. 🤣

I'm asking how your/BODNers investments are doing (I'm not making an assessment) with the turmoil created by T2, dun dun da dunt. If you predicted the downturn and shorted everything, congrats. But I think most Trump voters expected him to make everything great and didn't short the market and when they checked their accts recently, went WTF.

Trump says he ended weaponization of Fed Govt. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/ending-the-weaponization-of-the-federal-government/ Now he says Biden pardons (which I didn't agree with) are void and now he will go after them. https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-says-biden-pardons-now-113131037.html Isn't that, going after political enemies, the definition of a weaponized DOJ? Hypocrite.

@HeloDude I said investment portfolio, not economy. I was tempted to follow what Buffett did, cash out. Those above they answered it well enough for me.

That memo looks like it was written by.... a saint. I would rather have seen a memo like, "I just order 10 billion rounds of ammo. Get to the range. The standard is expert."

In chatting with some younger gens, the ones that talk 'burn it all down' say it, I think, because they can't/won't figure out how to compete in the world/reality we are in. They think if it's all torched that it levels the playing field. They think they can then gain an advantage. Maybe for an instant, but when it comes to success, I think there are two main types, sharks/hunters and prey/sheeple. The shark is successful today and will be successful tomorrow in any new world. The sheep will remain sheep. That saying, dog eat dog world, will likely always be valid. -‐---------------------- As for the Trump 2.0 experiment, how's everyone's investment portfolio looking?

I think I'm starting to understand Musk a little more. He wants a rapid unscheduled disassembly of govt, like his space ships. I was reading that Tesla sales are taking a hit, stock is down (wouldn't be surprised if Wall St Bets is shorting it), vandals are causing many Xs of 100Ks in damage to dealers/chargers, and 2X explosions. Maybe he should go back to his company. Or maybe the board should replace him. Either one probably makes the companies better off. You've got everyone in the whole world figured out. You want to spend less of your/our money on end of life care for others. So no hospice? Send em home and let em die like Gene Hackman? Sir, please lay here and die. Nobody will help. TV is on soaps. .45 is on the bedside table. See ya. What's your plan to make poor people health care more efficient, or rather, how is it inefficient today? Rewarding retirees for not saving for retirement. What is this reward you speak of? I think its safe to say there are retirees today that had pension plans but got taken by events. Many more thought the SS promise would take care of them. While IRAs have been around for a long time, the limits are too low to replace SS. Hell, there are plenty that thought their kids would take care of them because that's what they did when their parents got old. Other did save, but assholes banks creating the housing crisis put a dent it the plan. Or chiner/ruskie scammers stealing. Ooooh. For every $1 that chiner scammers have stolen, $10 in US debt is written off. Please describe this suffering future gens *will* have. I'm not saying the US should reduce debt, I'm asking what doomsday scenario you foretell. ------ Have any of you worked with an elder care planner/attorney? The rules and maneuvers around them play out so that assets are protected while the old gets care via govt. With a surviving spouse, this makes sense to a point. Without a surviving spouse, I am of the idea that your assets/savings are used to take care of you until you either die or run out of money.

"Trump loves me and will make sure I will pay less tax" "Trump loves me and will make sure I will pay less tax" "Trump loves me and will make sure I will pay less tax" "Trump loves me and will make sure I will pay less tax" Keep going, you're becoming convincing.

You mean lobby for EV tax credits so people buy my cars and end up becoming the richest man? You mean moving an HQ out of the US to create a tax haven? Fine, I'd like to declare my new HQ, for the purposes of taxes, in Limnadia. In Limnadia, the tax rate is 0% for all people that have planned military exercises regarding Limnadia.

Well, sadly there are Trump can do no wrong types on here who believe he is honorable and will do what is in the best interests of the nation...even after seeing him do wrong things. But oh well. I'm not supporting the dishonorable Trump in his burn it to the ground effort to change government and continue to allow billionaires to skirt taxes because they hire awesome lawyers and create clever ways to get around taxes and allow Musk to keep more of your money via his tax breaks for EVs (I had to continue the para to keep it in theme with your post. How am I doing?) Since we have a foundational difference of opinions and values (like honor), it's silly for this non liberal, non progressive, independent to go back and forth with the thick-skulled MAGAs on here, on this and other issues. Maybe you guys will get what you want. Maybe you'll regret it. Maybe you won't care. PS (you like these), in 2 years? Ha! Dems ain't got shit in one bag, let alone a bag. It will have to come from within the R party. But whenever one tries to show a little spine, they are truly revealed as weak ass lemmings.

I just noticed that nsplayer's profile shows as guest. Did he take his ball and go home?

So you're saying that to prevent our pic in the base paper, all we need to do is have a "gay" sign somewhere in the background? Damn, are they going to delete all the Navy pics?

Why do cuts need to be made to VA care to fund a Trump tax cut? Back atcha.

Oh yeah? I give you the Rap God, Boomhauer.

Firing VA workers that were hired to right the ship doesn't sound hunky dory either. I easily admit that the VA system still need improvements, but it takes people to do those changes. Side bar anecdote, the Mrs often talks to a certain govt agency for her job. That agency has multiple data systems, offices that don't answer the phone, relies upon the fax system, and on. You think doge can just waltz in, wave their chainsaw, and merge those data systems, fire someone so that there's less people answering the phone, and magically transform their data systems off the fax system? I'm told stuff like that takes people, like IT pros, and probably even legislation (fax system). My plan to fix the deficit? Lets see how the Trump plan plays out. I hear he's going to make every other country pay for our budget, paraphrasing, after he goes slash and burn to the govt worker, and then goes more deficit for tax cuts. That's the plan you want because that's what you voted for, assuming of course, based on your avatar and words for the last 200 posts, that you voted for the guy. And there you go again, the thinly veiled tag of calling me, or anyone, a big government type because I go counter to the Trump plan of cutting VA staff, which probably wasn't even thought out. They just came up with a number.

My dad gets 100% of his health care from the VA. It has gotten better than in years past. He needed to do daily visits for a treatment and VA farmed it out to a local hospital, complete with transportation. I imagine a lot of those overlapping VA contracts doge is cutting are open agreements like this (local treatment) because hauling down 90 minutes to the big VA hospital isn't efficient. Also, the VA chief's emailed vid regarding cuts is some good spin. I got a phone call from the VA about my status in the program. Internet says that 4.7M vets are in the program. Also, in the past, the VA was heavily lambasted for poor care, resources, etc. Just spitballing here that those calls and efforts take people to do the work. Maybe you have an a specific item the VA should stop doing?

To go with the theme. My doc got me scripts for both 6% and 9% Ethyl Hydroxyethane.

Just saw this little gem in the headlines. https://www.the-sun.com/news/13701537/prepared-war-china-trump-defence-tariffs/ US DEFENCE Secretary Pete Hegseth declared that the US is "prepared" for war with China in response Beijing's chilling World War Three threat. ------------------------------------- I remember growing up in US strategy that the messenger was just as important as the message. If it's economics, you send an economist, etc. Trump sends the war chief, you know, the one overseeing combat war.

And if you fear it will be used to justify your job or justify your firing, that e-mail will take all your time until the deadline. Past actions on GS indicate hostile possibilities.

Dude, you write some gaslighting stuff here.
