I think he said...

Good bet he said something else.

Asheville NC was flooded by a hurricane just as bad, on July 16, 1916

Got some comparative metrics?

You think the "media" yav watches will cover it?

I have no idea what media Yav watches.

Tells me you really don't care if Trump's and ------- or not

I don't. I just know he is.

It's what he did.

Ok. Will be interesting to see what the media backlash will be.

I read he flipped them the bird!

That would be a silly thing for a candidate to do. Well maybe if accompanied by a ---------- grin.

Lots of posts from Gal on one topic can only mean one thing.

Yes. It means Dinger derailed another thread.

Then she'll probably win the election.

Bill Maher is of the opinion Lewzer is going to lose again. First time he's bet against him.

Hey, I thought this was going to be a really bad hurricane season because of climate change?

Morning update... currently one hurricane, one tropical storm, and 3 new "disturbances" in the Atlantic Basin.

Four more months to go...

MAGAts claim HAARP is being used to aim hurricanes

Sharpie not good enough any more?

When they inevitably pull Lewzer off the ticket do they have to put Vance on top and pick another VP candidate, or can they just put Joe Rogan or Kid Rock in the top spot and leave Vance where he is?

OK, how does all this correlate with fmr Pres Trump's comments that he will lower inflation should he be elected?

Easy. Don't forget he has no intention of actually doing anything he says he's going to do.

Yup, the wealthy seemed to have turn Boeing into a cash-cow for the wealthy owners.

As they have with most big companies. Being profitable is not enough... every year you have to be more profitable.

If you are talking about profits to the wealthy owners, then, yeah.

Here's something to consider. A few years ago the USAF wanted to get some new air tankers for the fleet. They put out a request for quotes based on their required criteria. Boeing put in a proposal, as did Airbus, partnered with another company, I think Lockheed Martin.

After considering the proposals, the air force picked the Airbus proposal. Boeing went screaming to the government about an unfair bidding process and the requirements not being clear. The GAO voided the deal, and the air force put out a new set of criteria for the planes.

Lockheed pulled out of the deal since, in their view, the new criteria clearly favoured the Boeing design. The contract was then given to Boeing.

So, given all that, where is the incentive to Boeing to build better planes? Why hire top notch engineers when what you really need are lawyers? Boeing's new HQ, by the way, is right across the Potomac from Washington, DC.

The elder abuse continues.

Boeing moved their hq from Seattle where most manufacturing and the heart of company was located to Chicago

And then they moved it to Virginia.

I wonder if it was a lab leak?

We seem to be residing in the 15% that was outside their prediction.

Storms 9 and 10 are out there. They predicted 17+ for the season.

The real story is that the NHS predicted an unusually active season and this is only the 8th named storm.

An admission of being totally clueless by a candidate for the Oval office?

He means he doesn't know how to make money off of it yet.

I think I was paying $20/hour for CompuServe on top of about the same for long distance charges to Seattle to get a connection port.

what has happened to Boeing?

Being a US defense contractor has its perks.

I mean, is that the best within their party that they can surface for the Oval Office?

No, but they are scared -------- of him so they have no choice.

We need competence and ability

Sorry, Obama did his two terms.

Wow. I spent a fortune playing British Legends.
