Lawn mower. A big triple bladed bastard

Holy shit, I googled it because I thought

"dude, its 5k what you buying AFTER the mower?"

Nope, will have to take a little out your own pocket just to satisfy the tax man

Maybe I need to ask my gardener for some stock tips, I mean good golly.
 
But why? Are airlines just that short staffed they're throwing these people into these positions? They can't keep experienced pilots on the payroll? Sounds like a far deeper issue that DEI is used as but a tool of. Same as many industries. All the experienced people are leaving, retiring, and so they're hiring at shit wages with shit training because they can't retain anyone and are chasing that bottom dollar. I know airlines are a rough business margins wise but Jesus

Or maybe they have to meet DEI goals so they have to promote unqualified pilots to meet their quotas?

Remember when your company announced they were going green which really just ment they were not going to stock plastic forks anymore and you were on your own? It's sort of like that except with hiring cheaper less experienced employees. Many such cases across every industry it's just more obvious when they fuck up flying a plane full of people.
 
I don't disagree, but that doesn't mean he didn't rightfully call out system pigs.
Lira can be a piece of shit and what happened to him can still be wrong. You don't have to like the guy, or even think he was a good guy. He was a dirtbag, and would have never claimed to not be a dirtbag.

I miss that retarded dead fuck, lol.

No there's more to it. DEI is a cost cutting measure. It is a way for companies to hire unqualified idiots, keep up with turnover, and shield themselves from the repercussions. It's a way to cut and stagnate wages. This shit would have died if it truly harmed them financially. Airlines are cut throat margins already. They pay like shit so people don't stay and especially older experienced pilots leave and they need to fill the turnover. In comes DEI as the tool
 
Pritzker is such a useless fat evil fuck

He typifies everything wrong with the Democrats system. He see's himself as the next successor to Biden and has the money and power to get there. He has his eye fixed on the PotUS and he wants it. The MSM will happily eagerly fall in line to suck his dick making him into Jewish Obama-man. His only issue is someone else trying to step up before him but after the 2024 fuck up the field is now wide open for this fat bastard to get the nomination for 2028.

I can only hope people see through his fake shell to the evil core that lies inside. He would be Obama 2.0 but three time worse.
 
The second (deliberate) collision of NCC-1701-E in Nemesis had me confused for a second, until I realized -- you're 100% right. By the time Picard ordered the ramming, the front of the bridge (including the helm station and helmsman) were gone, so technically speaking even though it was Picard's order, Troi did in fact press the actual button at her station to execute the ramming maneuver.

Christ, Picard, don't let that bitch drive and get her off the bridge! She's done more damage to ships named Enterprise than Kirk ever did!
 
Trump Says He Will Check Amount of Gold Stored at Fort Knox

President Donald Trump said his administration intends to ensure that the significant amount of US gold reserves held at Fort Knox is accounted for and accurate.

“We hope everything’s fine with Fort Knox, but we’re going to go to Fort Knox — the favorite Fort Knox — to make sure the gold is there,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Wednesday en route to Washington from an event in Miami.

“If the gold isn’t there, we’re going to be very upset,” he added.

The president’s comments come amid speculation over an idea that the US Treasury could revalue its gold stockpiles. The idea has gripped some on Wall Street even as people familiar with the matter say that the concept is not under serious consideration by Trump’s top economic advisers.

The speculation centers around the notion that the US Treasury could re-peg its gold holdings at a higher level — a move that would generate cash for the government. Such a move would likely require Trump to seek congressional approval.

Fort Knox, a US Army installation in Kentucky, holds little over half of the Treasury’s gold reserves. Gold was transferred there from New York and Philadelphia in the 1930s, in part to make it less vulnerable to foreign attack. Much of the rest of the bullion is held in facilities in Denver and West Point, New York.

This was December 2022

I'm just in awe of how lucky we are to be where we are now and how good the Lord is

look at his evil smirk

"One flag should cover 350 billion right?"

I do wonder what the future will hold for Ukraine and all of Eastern Europe once the war is over, maybe proper us and russsia ties can finally be restablished.

It’s retarded of Trump to throw a shitfit over gold when it’s stored across the country. Wasting taxpayer money to ship it back to Kentucky, shows what happens when you let arrogance rule with money. That’s like asking to see all the printing plates. Fort Knox probably couldn’t even fit all the gold we have, they’d only find out after moving it because this administration is full of half assed measures to make goy feel good.
 
People where right when saying that reason that DOGE is able to move so fast is that they found the career govies that were tried with the bullshit and started working with people that know the ins and out of the agency.
Imagine being the one member of a federal organisation who does like half the work while everyone else is struggle sessioning because you literally think the country would fall apart if you left these chucklefucks unattended

Imagine finally getting a chance to use that knowledge to snitch on all the makework do-nothings and watch them get fired.

Imagine the sheer catharsis. It'd be like your own personal second coming to watch all those lazy bastards get fired, and I don't mean in the religious sense.
