LIBrty4all got a reaction from Dashinka in Wave of civil unrest grips China 'in largest anti-government protests since Tiananmen Square': Police attack anti-lockdown activists on bus and rallies openly call for Xi to resign as fury over Zero-Covid policy flares for THIRD day after deadly flat fire
Saw some sick videos on this topic yesterday. A tad too violent to post here. Sad day for the innocent Chinese people.

How can you tell who is a pilot when you walk into a bar?
You don't have to,, they will tell you.

CAJUN AIRLINES
Pierre and Boudreaux was flying Cajun Airlines to da Mardi Gras. Boudreaux was flying da plane and Pierre was in da back foolin wit da cargo equipment an stuff.
Da plane hit some turbulence an start bouncin around an Boudreaux got knock unconscious. Den da plane start driftin. Pierre come run up to da front an Boudreaux was sprawl out over da steerin wheel.
Well, Pierre don't know nuttin bout flyin an he start to get panaky. He grab da microphone and holla "May Day! May Day! Dis is Cajun Airline 90210. Boudreaux, him knock unconscious an I don know nuttin about flyin dis plane!"
"Dis is da control tower," someone answer. "Doan you worry about nuttin. We gonna splain how you to land dis plane, step by step, ah gar-own-tee! Jus leave anyting ta us. Fus, how high you are an whas you position?"
Pierre think a minute, den say, "I'm five foot ten an I'm all da way to da front of da plane."
"No! No!" answer da tower. "What you altitude an where you location?"
Pierre say, "Man ah got a po attitude, an I'm from Thibodeaux!"
"No! No! No!" came an exasperated voice. "Ah needs to know how many feet you got off da groun an how you plane in relation to da airport!"

A long pause... de silence was deafenin. "We needs to know who you next of kin."

I have seen quite a few LETS GO BRANDON bills though.

And I forgot to add... thank you for debunking the myths!

I did not take the time to vet the text, my bad. But let's look at some of it.
As to Myth 1 from your link, it WAS voluntary, at least at first.
Myth 2 appears to in fact be completely wrong. (The original wording though!)
Myth 3 - yeah, bunk.
Myth 4 - Kinda sorta. While the SS fund is a stand-alone fund, the government DOES "borrow" money from it, with the promise of paying it back with interest. However, the SS fund for years has suffered from a declining balance, hence Dashinka's fear that he will never see his just returns (somewhere around 3034 or so, the SS fund is expected to be near zero).
Myth 5 - Pretty much NOT a myth. SS wasn't taxed until 1983. At that time, the fund was in danger of running out of money, so a law was passed to start taxing payouts as well as adding member of Congress to the SS plan in an effort to put more working people in the position of paying into FICA.
Will SSB remain for those of us in the earlier years of our lives? Not at the current rate it's being paid out at. Something must be changed to keep the plan in place. Depopulation of the elderly certainly helps the fund as much as it helps the earth.

like Aloha Airlines Flight 243?

THE biggest. But real-time monitoring of aircraft systems grows constantly. Heck, even 15 years ago computers on the ground were able to detect a problem before a part failed, and said part and maintenance personnel were on the ground waiting to change the (not quite yet) defective part when the plane landed.
Of course, there are those failures that happen in the air, but between a computer, a pilot in a room, and a pilot onboard, just about everything that can happen can be dealt with, save for the plane coming apart mid-air.

Exactly.
I'm planning on not needing to use mine until I have to take it at 70. IFF there's any left after you drain the fund even further.

It's all backed by a "promise". From people who prove constantly they are corrupt and are there mostly for themselves, not We The People.
And the more money that is printed (see: 1980-2020 but especially 2021 & 2022), the less value our $$ has.

They can be either (hand flown or be on autopilot). But it's really not much different than a plane with two pilots (or even one pilot). Typically, the pilot(s) take off and land, but then the autopilot does 98% of the work, to include auto landing if the need arises (infrequent today, but an easy switch to flip on at any point). The biggest task of the pilot(s) is to remain in communication with different air traffic controllers (kinda hard to have highway signs and traffic lights at 39,000 feet), as well as to make any flight plan changes enroute, and of course to deal with any emergency/equipment failures that arise.

A lot of that is not true or twisted a bit.

It already is. You have to pay taxes on the money made from paying taxes. Just depends on how much you earn. Also, if you earn too much, your SSB is reduced monthly.

Neurological issues which affect military pilots jumped from 82,000 events to 863,000 in one year. And right after this was disclosed to the public by a whistleblower, and Senator Ron Johnson called for Biden to keep the data and investigate it, the DMED site was taken offline. (Time: 26:31)

It has become more common the past year. Know of at least 6 different times a pilot has either died or become incapacitated while flying. Try to find a news article about WS-661 (WestJet 661), Just do a normal search for the incident, I doubt you will find much.
Also, no airline wants to release the data, but the number of pilots out on medical leave are estimated to have increased 300-400% in the past 18 months. You WON'T find that info anywhere online.

Not sure what you mean by "wind up"?
Elon is letting a LOT of people go in an attempt to increase profitability. There was a HUGE amount of money being wasted by the company, it seems.

It's flippin' ridiculous is what it is. Even the black people commenting on his feed are saying it. Bet you a steak dinner that several black football players sing that same song in the locker room daily with no issues.

You continue to embarrass yourself. You woke up on the wrong side of this debacle more than two years ago. Might want to cut your losses while you can.

Didja see Trump's unbanned twitter account? Remember Jan 6th, when the dems claimed Trump was calling for people revolt and attack the Capitol?
Welp, the unbanned account kind of shoots that theory dead in the water. No apologies will EVER be rendered unto the Terrible Orange Man.
