And there is the rub. Conservative legislators won’t allow it in most states, because it would mean more Dems in congress.

Same in California for much the same reason. There has long been a Republican proposal to split it into 5 states so there are more Republican senators.

And I think it was more likely some dumbass recording for their social media page.

I see zero evidence that it was some official operation.

There are other options. Heck, fire bombers usually are accompanied by their own sorter aircraft.

How exactly would a drone address the problem?

The US absolutely does have those planes. (That’s 1 example, here are others) But high winds are keeping most of them from operating (the winds are what is spreading the fires).

They are using helicopters, but those can’t carry as much.

I’m sure my insurance in the Midwest will go up to subsidize things, too. Never mind that we never have widespread disasters like this.

Because Russia is a huge country that’s hard to avoid, especially from Europe to Asia.

November 6, 2000

Everything has been downhill since then.

Other CEOs that sit on governing boards set the compensation. It’s the same thing.

Sorry, I’ll never buy that it’s fair compensation, especially for a nonprofit charity.

Convenient the C-Suite sticks to a theory that massively benefits themselves. Sorry, it’s bullshit.

And there is ample evidence. Look no further than how every other employee is treated. Do you think they could get the best veterinarians by paying say, $300,000/year? Of course. But they don’t because they recognize the diminishing returns of thinking they have to have the best. But somehow the C-suite makes itself immune.

And that goes back to your example. As an engineer, I can tell you that construction trades are in HUGE demand. Same with civil engineers. Yet pay isn’t going up, at least not much.

Executive pay has gone up far faster than pay for regular workers. Sorry, I don’t buy the explanation that somehow they are the only group struggling to to find top candidates.

Depends on the job. But I make less than both those numbers. And the construction journeymen make more than me, actually.

Yes, they make less because they are less talented. I completely disagree with your assertion that these executives are more talented. I have yet to meet a business major that wasn’t an absolute moron.

What evidence do you have they are more qualified, besides some paradoxical “they must be because they are in the position” reasoning.?

But if you want a talented, experienced person to run your org, you have to consider what they could make if they worked for someone else.

That’s such bullshit reasoning. They make more than 99.9% of people. I get that not everyone is great, but you are saying 99.9% of people are all talentless hacks that couldn’t do a decent enough job to the extent that the salary savings would be worth it?

Guess my civil engineering degree and 18 years of experience is a worthless pile of shit.

I’ve given up on charity. They’ve lobbied sites like Charity Navigator to not count executive compensation as a negative. I’m sick of capitalism ruining everything.

Illegal to sell. Which means you cannot drink it as you cannot obtain it without a cow of your own.

I mean, I think people should be able to make an informed choice to drink raw milk if they want. In my state it’s straight up illegal.

Edit: so people can drink alcohol or smoke weed, but raw milk is a bridge too far?

Lies! I’m not calling for genocide. I oppose genocide, I oppose the war. But the fact people like you think Trump is the same as Harris erodes that sympathy.

I feel that way because you helped Trump.

I’m betting he helps complete the genocide. And I no longer have any sympathy for it.

So, you’re counting on Trump, known for racist, anti-Muslim rhetoric, will do no different than Harris? Ridiculous. Trump doesn’t care, and it’s clear Bibi doesn’t care.

Also, that doesn’t tell me how that protest vote does anything. If the result is the same, then at least go for the person that won’t destroy even more lives.

Do Muslim’s really think voting for Muslim ban guy who would give Israel even more weapons a better choice?
