  2. When unions start demanding 70% increases in wages, they have outlived their usefulness. The unions are there to protect jobs, not facilitate in getting rid of them. But that is what will happen. And the union will have fewer members to pay the fat cats at the top. They are self destructive. mspart
  3. Indeed. mspart
  4. Well, I'd say he knows how to count. mspart
  5. I have a co-worker that lives in Tampa and he doesn't seem too concerned. I just hope it downgrades quickly and a lot for all of y'alls sakes!! mspart
  6. You seem pretty relaxed, I don't know if I would be. I've never been in a hurricane. WE came close when we lived in Hawaii. A storm bigger than thee whole state was coming and then it fizzled. I don't think they have had anything bad since Iniki which killed Kauai. That happened a few years before we got there. But I was nervous about this one but didn't have to love through it. I just hope the best for you and your family. mspart
  7. https://www.forbes.com/sites/lorenthompson/2015/03/09/the-air-forces-b-3-bomber-isnt-as-secret-as-it-seems/ I honestly have never heard of this. mspart
  8. Where is this B-3 Bomber you speak of? Pics??? mspart
  9. The US has the most inefficient port system because of the lack of automation. That can't continue indefinitely. I remember years ago when Northwest Airlines mechanics got rid of their union because of no contract for a few years. They voted in a new union who said they would get industry leading wages and benefits. And they did. Now Northwest did a lot of their own maintenance. So a year or so after that contract was signed, the shops were all closed and those guys lost their jobs to cheaper labor elsewhere. They priced themselves right out of the market. Management totally used that new union to get where they wanted to go. mspart
  10. That side by side is pretty damning. mspart
  11. If he did they didn't listen to him. Like everyone else. mspart
  12. https://www.cbp.gov/about/mobile-apps-directory/cbpone On October 28, 2020, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) launched the FREE CBP One™ mobile application on the Apple App and Google Play stores. CBP One™ is a mobile application that serves as a single portal to a variety of CBP services. Through a series of guided questions, the app directs each type of user to the appropriate services based on their needs. As part of CBP’s comprehensive effort to improve the security of our nation’s borders while enhancing legitimate travel and trade, CBP One™ provides increased accessibility and transparency to some of CBP’s most utilized services. There is an app. Why is it crazy to be talking about an app. This is well known. mspart
  13. I guess when the moderators say they will not fact check and that is up to the debaters, and they enty sneak in fact checking that is demostrably wrong, that is a problem. That is why Vance felt it necessary to correct the moderator on on the Springfield - Haitian issue. She got it wrong. He had it right. But in putting it to her, they turned the mics off. Again, not what the moderators were supposed to do. They initiated that and talked over Vance continually even after he pointed out that they broke the debate rules. They were had and didn't ant any of it. The moderators were in the wrong on that one. mspart
  14. Yah mon! mspart
  15. If you get caught, deny and don't allow any investigation. mspart
  16. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Hamas_charter In May 2017 Palestinian political and military organization Hamas unveiled A Document of General Principles and Policies (وثيقة المبادئ والسياسات العامة لحركة حماس), also referred to as the new or revised Hamas charter.[1][2] It accepted the idea of a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders, i.e. comprising the West Bank and Gaza strip only,[3] on the condition that also the Palestinian refugees were allowed to return to their homes,[4] if it is clear this is the consensus of the Palestinians[5] ("a formula of national consensus"[6]); but at the same time this document strove for the "complete liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea",[2][6] and did not explicitly recognize Israel.[3] The new charter holds that armed resistance against an occupying power is justified under international law.[1][7] While the 1988 Hamas Charter had been widely criticized for its antisemitism, the 2017 document stated that Hamas' fight was not with Jews as such because of their religion but with the Zionist project. However, Hamas fell short of repudiating the original, 1988 charter, saying it was a document of its time and the new document represented Hamas's position for now. Views on the 2017 document varied. While some welcomed it as a sign of pragmatism and increased political maturity, and a potential step on the way to peace, many others dismissed it as a merely cosmetic effort designed to make Hamas sound more palatable while changing nothing about Hamas' underlying aims and methods. The revised charter did not formally repudiate or revoke the previous one, with Hamas co-founder Mahmoud al-Zahar saying that it is not a substitute for its founding charter. This does not describe what you said. You'll have a hard time convincing anyone that this means anything other than what they have always held. Good luck. mspart
  17. Boat from Bari Italy to Durres Albania. Any excuse to go to Italy. You might even see Chamizo and say hi to him. mspart
  18. Fly into Rome and drive or boat to Albania. For the drive, Venice would be closer. Not too far away. mspart
  19. I noticed this also. Reminded me of the Gutches Sandersaon match. Sanderson was on offense and Gutches was on defense, but brilliantly. With a few moves he outscored Sanderson 7-6 with Sanderson getting 6 takedowns. Sad was not on the offensive really. But he was on the defensive and scored big with that. DT will have to neutralize that defense of his. He threw Bagaev around pretty easily. mspart
  20. Although you reject this, you are pro hamas and pro hezbollah. Your statement above proves that. You say they now want peace for a Palestinian state. Because they are getting their butts handed to them. But they have rejected every such proposal in the past. They do not want a Palestinian state. They want Israel gone. Period. From the river to the sea. That is what they want. Israel is not in agreement so they are the bad guy. mspart
  21. The logic is so simple you can't understand it. If attacked, you defend yourself heartily. Anything less invites more attacks and perhaps loss of the war. Arabs attack Israel, Arabs will die. That's the lesson since 1948. The corallary is similar. If Arabs don't attack Israel, Arabs and Israelis don't die. Everyone says Israel has to right to defend themselves, but cry they are too rough in defending themselves. I think Israel is tired of being constantly attacked. So they are eliminating hamas and have decimated the hezbollah fighters. Hence eliminating the threat. Arabs plot ways to kill Israelis. Israel plots ways to effectively defend itself. mspart
  22. And you are complaining about it when they defend themselves. They have not gone to war against anyone as the aggressor. They have answered the aggressor with very aggressive defense. And the world has a tizzy when that happens. Jordan and Egypt have learned their lesson. They don't do that anymore you'll notice. Iran has pushed them to their limit via hamas and hezbollah. Iran just fired over a hundred missiles at Israel. But I'm sure you will say Israel should not retaliate. That is just idiotic. Iran did this precisely for the carnage of hezbollah, they said so. Their favorite pet has been squashed because they were planting the seeds of major escalation. So your solution would be for Israel to forgive Iran for over a hundred missiles, hexbollah for constant rocket attacks, hamas for constant rocket attacks and an incursion that killed 1200 people and carried off 200 prisoners. It won't end until Israel is allowed to defend itself properly and learn these guys to stop attacking them like they did with Jordan and Egypt. mspart
  23. Israel has been attacked more than any other country in the area since 1948. So they are likely going to kill more arabs since they are the ones attacking them. mspart
  24. Is Israel more violent, or have they been attacked more than any country in world history? mspart
