Ya know, when it comes to reliable sources.... Idk if you're gonna get honest reporting using turning point usa, an organization that helped fund the rally on Jan6 before they stormed the Capitol, and bussed in a bunch of people who were later charged and arrested. But hey, don't let me stop y'all from reading propaganda posted exclusively at 2AM. Let me know what the Jan6 people tell y'all what to think

I mean it's pretty funny that the guy being ID'd is named "Volodymyr Z." Hell yeah the president dove down there! I bet he had a knife between his teeth and everything Edit: /s, in case it wasn't apparent

@TwiceHorn what's your thoughts on this "lol k we'll pay the fine" scheme of business plan?

Lol such substantive policy discussion that's totally apolitical amirite. Why is the business board losing readers again?

Man I thought I was on the business board for a minute reading that meme

Have they checked Martha's Vineyard?

I know we're not technically at war, but this feels real like giving aid and comfort to the enemy

That makes sense - I'm AT&T wireless and home fiber and yarn embeds always appear as text links to me

That's a goiter that would make stoops blush

Nobody is saying price controls except for you. And besides, aren't you persona non grata on surly after your antics pumping russian propaganda in the Ukraine war thread?

Airplane door huh? Must've flown a Boeing Edit: lulz it was a 737, no connection to Boeings recent failures, but still lol

the middle one is barron trump

Well that and they broke the fucking law if they fired the people who were maintaining it https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/SOTWDocs/ED/htm/ED.38.htm

It's no Kursk offensive by the AFU, but it's interesting and going to further constrain russia now that China is no longer processing russian payments https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-economy-all-china-banks-refuse-yuan-ruble-transfers-sanctions-2024-8 Sanctions are working, and their loopholes are slowing getting closed off

[laughs in businessbrain cost cutting]

Man, GRUhorn where are you getting "price controls" from? That hasn't been mentioned anywhere in anyone's policy statements (as far as I'm aware).

I think it's that, plus interest rates going up (from the COVID baseline) is really going to amp up driver loan delinquency rates. Those guys already had a hard time keeping their trucks when loans were damn near free, I can't imagine that it's easier now to be a truck operator, which puts even more strain on the trucking companies

Wow it's so weird how he keeps doing what he accuses other companies of doing. Reminds me of one of his recent interviewees

Lol he's the ur-internet troll

https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/08/nasa-acknowledges-it-cannot-quantify-risk-of-starliner-propulsion-issues/ Tldr: NASA and Boeing still cannot definitively identify the cause of the failure and that uncertainty does not pair well with manned spaceflight. Whoopsie poopsie

This isn't the thread to talk the policy but I did link the law a few posts up and pointed out my specific issue is that the signed law in the books explicitly gives the teachers immunity for violating the establishment clause. That's a pretty goddamn clear statement of intent.

their CEO recently remarked that it was an "accident" that portion sizes had been getting systemically smaller. It started out as a meme that the company brushed off, but they eventually addressed on an earnings call

lulz maybe they drank all the coolant on the TU-22 Apparently most of the soviet aircraft were raided for their ethanol working fluids

Man you'd think even with using child labor they'd be able to eke out better than losing money

Surprise surprise, the workers cleaning it up are getting poisoned and NFS is working to cover it up! https://www.wfmj.com/story/51217066/hidden-report-reveals-how-workers-got-sick-while-cleaning-up-east-palestine-derailment-site The creeks around East Palestine, Ohio, were so badly contaminated by last year's disastrous Norfolk Southern derailment that some workers became sick during the cleanup. Workers who reported headaches and nausea — while shooting compressed air into the creek bed, which releases chemicals from the sediment and water — were sent back to their hotels to rest, according to a report obtained by The Associated Press about their illnesses. The findings were not released to the public last spring, despite residents' concerns about the potential health effects of exposure to the long list of chemicals that spilled and burned after the disaster. The workers' symptoms, as described in the report, are consistent with what Centers for Disease Control and Prevention workers going door-to-door in town had reported shortly after the Feb. 3, 2023, derailment. Since then some residents have also reported unexplained rashes, asthma and other respiratory problems, and serious diseases including male breast cancer. Researchers are still determining how many of those health problems can be linked to the derailment and how the disaster will impact the long-term health of residents in the area near the Ohio-Pennsylvania border. Many wonder whether there will be cancer clusters down the road, which of course won't be clear for years. In the meantime, residents have until Aug. 22 to decide whether to accept up to $25,000 — as part of a $600 million class action settlement with the railroad to compensate them for any future health problems. Accepting that money though means giving up the right to sue later, when the cost of health care coverage and specific treatments needed will become more clear. Norfolk Southern spokesperson Heather Garcia said none of the workers who got sick during the cleanup “reported lingering or long-term symptoms."
