#1 Yep, exactly, except, we don't have assessments for pay for Citizens. Buy hey, you keep doing you. Facts, the LWN DR posters, we don't need no stinking facts!

No, you just jack up the monthly payments a ton and watch more insurers go bankrupt or leave the state.

That's the difference: California has a plan, Florida doesn't.

Your governor called a special session to address the insurance issue and all they talked about was banning books.

The average homeowners insurance rate in Florida is THREE TIMES HIGHER than California.

So like Florida but not quite as bad.

This is how Scouts have been in Canada for as long as I can remember.

Well, there's an "F." Thanks for trying, but it's the results that count.

Jesus, LeftHandTurds, you really are that dumb?

You don't think we have changed entirely what qualifies as a failing school these days?

Do you have any idea how many schools from the 80's wouldn't even come close to the standards for today?

Illiteracy rate in Louisiana
1960 ~6.3% pre DoE
Today ~28%

How has DoE helped them?

#13 | Posted by oneironaut

Apparently not by educating people like you.

The standard for being illiterate has changed huge over the last 60 years.

People today who would be considered illiterate would pass back then.

In addition, they didn't exactly include huge numbers of minorities or anyone with mental handicaps.

Denny's has to put pictures on its menu for people like you.

Everyone knows under Obama the criteria changed, and COVID then decimated the ATC numbers, which given the candidates didn't cut the mustard.

Why ignore thousands of qualified applicants?

#91 | Posted by oneironaut

That's a lie.

Even the lawsuit doesn't say that.

The lawsuit admits the hired people were competent and passed all tests. They just demand it be based entirely on the test and be blind to racial background. That's literally it. They don't claim the shortage is because of it. The lawsuits doesn't even claim more people would be hired.

FACTS:

The FAA has a bottleneck for training. They can't hire more because they can't put them through training. Training takes 18-24 months.

COVID and GOP government shutdowns also caused an issue because training had to be stopped. In a program that takes 2-3 years of training before applying and 18-24 months of onboarding training, that's an huge issue.

Better yet, Republicans block FAA funding increases. So there aren't resources to hire everyone they want. It is cheaper for the FAA to not hire and just give overtime to existing air traffic controllers.

Finally Reagan cut pay huge, put in a retirement age cap, and put in medical leave requirements. So a lot of air traffic controllers have left because they aged out, moved to better paying jobs, or can't transfer to cities they want to be in. The hiring can't make up for it when a lot of people leave at once.

We have NEVER recovered from Reagan firing all the air traffic controllers on strike.

We hired more air traffic controllers in 2024 than any year in the past decade. INCLUDING under Trump.

You are a liar and a racist. Society would be better off if you never left your hole in the ground.

Trump said they lowered standards during the Obama and Biden years. And in his first term, he raised those standards.

The Captain of the plane was so good, he was a certified flight instructor.

Better yet: He became a Captain 6 years ago...RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY.

Our SS came yesterday and meals on wheels came this morning just like it has been.

Funny. I just talked to the head of the Meals on Wheels legal team.

He said they will be cutting back if the money isn't turned back on but they are running on existing funds for now.

#5,

More calling others names just because they don't accept something eh?

Democrats haven't learned nothing.

#6 | Posted by boaz

...You voted for Trump...

It's been four years; we know the left has short memories. What the president is doing is taking questions from the press right after a press conference.

#132 | Posted by gracieamazed

When you take questions, you generally provide answers to those questions.

Not surprised you don't understand this basic concept.

Dotard and MAGAts hate the cops. This order DEFUNDS THE POLICE! We buy our ballistic vests with the assistance of federal grant money.

Some of that money also pays ...child predator investigations...

Now you know why it got cut.

Lewzer says get them home now or there will be tariffs.

#2 | Posted by REDIAL

Trump will either want to tariff Space or just nuke it like hurricanes.

Maybe he can use a sharpie to draw an extension of earth on the globe and just say they are home now?

Let's ask those in charge:

Head of FFA: Oh wait, they forced him to resign
Head of TSA: Oh wait, they fired him
Head of Coast Guard: Oh wait, fired too
Aviation Security Commission: Oh...they fired them too

Trump takes credit for airlines' safety record

The incompetent orange pedo owns this debacle.

#118 | Posted by reinheitsgebot

I was thinking about this and the irony.

Donald fires the head of the TSA, the head of the Coast Guard, and the aviation safety commission. Then this happens.

The optics are terrible but Democrats are too stupid to use it.

Oh, looks like she was killed while rudely declining the Palestinian's hospitality. I guess I'll have to take your word for the excellent treatment that Shani and the others received.

And that justifies killing how many people?

Just curious for your answer on this.

Trump isn't a racist though or did you guys forget about ABC and George Snuffaluffagus having to shell out $15MM for the claim?

#34 | Posted by Bluewaffles

They said Convicted Rapist. Which isn't true. It was a civil trial and the legal term was not rape...even if it was definitely rape.

Your post really shows how you feel about women, Incel.

Recruiting has been way down and woke has been inserted. Things needed to change I just don't know if this guy is the answer.

Yes, I'm sure it's because of Woke.

How stupid are you? Applicants have been declining for 40 years.

Undocumented Immigrants Contribute $8.5 Billion in California Taxes a Year...

Yet ...

$22,821,903,942. California spend on undocumented immigrants last year.

#57 | Posted by oneironaut

And how much did people making less than $15 an hour contribute versus government spending?

Guess what, dummy? The spread is even greater because they are entitled to way more benefits than illegal immigrants.

But the country runs on labor. The companies they make money for also pay taxes. The owners they make money for also pay taxes.

That's how it balances out.

To pay into the SS system they need work authorization, which by definition means they are documented.

#58 | Posted by oneironaut

Wrong.

This typically happens because they work under borrowed or fraudulent Social Security numbers.

They extended the solvency of Social Security as well.
#49 | POSTED BY YAV

No they don't, they are undocumented. The whole point is to pay under the table and with cash.

#54 | Posted by oneironaut

No. Most of the time they are not paid under the table.

In 2022, illegal immigrants paid $32 billion into Social Security.

Anti-Genocide means Pro-Hamas to scum

will all this be stored with the defenses evidence destroyed by the J6 panel ???

asking for a friend...

If you don't have it and don't know what it is, how do you know its Defense evidence?

You are damaged.

Is that like the J6 committee destroying manay of their official govt files?

House Jan. 6 Committee deleted more than 100 encrypted files days before GOP took majority: sources www.foxnews.com

Umm...you mean they did what they always do with investigations? Delete sensitive information like operational law information and sensitive personal data before it goes to the archives? And some videos not being included pursuant to the House Rule VII that Republicans approved?

Lie some more.
