  1. I wasn’t referring to the recording being given to the FBI, rather it also being given to the press.
  2. Those particular cameras perhaps. But by no means all.
  3. The facts of Rush’s disregard for and ignoring of safety and regulations is a matter of court record. He fired his safety advisor for doing his job and warning of safety concerns. I had absolutely no idea he was at all linked to the Republican Party, though it doesn’t surprise me given his disregard for safety and regulation. Perhaps this explains why right wingers are defending him. Waivers do not indemnify operators against gross dereliction of safety/gross negligence. Example below, you’ll find similar in almost all jurisdictions: https://www.southfloridainjurylawyerblog.com/amp/liability-for-gross-negligence-cant-be-waived-in-release-form/
  4. There was no innovation. Without knowledge of the gross dereliction of safety and regulation how could the passengers ‘know the risk’? Stockton Rush’s death has saved him from spending the rest of his days in court and a spell in the slammer. Tge good news, heMll not be killing anyone else with his recklessness.
  5. How do you know that? Perhaps it’s something beyond her imagination and limited experience of only ever presided over 4 previous cases. She has a sterling history of being overturned by the appellate court and clear conflicts of interest, she should recuse herself or be recused.
  6. What innovation? Mini-subs already exist, the technology to build mini subs already exists. I very much doubt the passengers knew the risks, though we do know from court records that Stockton Rush was informed of the risk, chose to ignore the risks and fired the guy who was warning him of the risks. RIP his victims.
  7. “The House Weaponization Subcommittee” That’s either Nominative determinism or someone was trying to let the cat out of the bag. How could it be otherwise with Gym Jordan in charge?! Issue subpoenas Gym, and expect the recipients to show up, you clown.
  8. Like the technology of submarines, the technology of flight is well understood. Engineers and Designers know how to make safe aircraft, just like other Engineers and Designers know how to make safe subs. This wasn’t some daring leap into an unknown sphere of human endeavor, it was sheer idiocy, arrogance and hubris.
  9. Without safety and regulations, aircraft wouldn’t be reaching Thailand. But thank you for bringing up air transport, one of the most regulated and safest forms of transport; regulations that came about as a direct result of ‘suck it and see’ accidents killing people. The idiot behind this accident wasn’t ‘innovating’ he was ignoring the safety and fired the guy who warned him of the safety problems.
  10. So the people who said Trump will never be indicted have now switched to Trump will never be convicted. Up next, Trump will never be sentenced.
  11. Rather a theme of our age, cutting regulation/safety v innovation. Keep these events in mind next time the subject comes up.
  12. I see you are not disputing my argument that climate change will increase migration.
  13. It’s a forecast, with no reference to where you dragged it out of. Oh and I see your Greta fixation got the better of you.
  14. Ah, so you don’t understand how climate change might impact the supply of food for populations of any size.
  15. Oh look another one of those accusation confession things.
  16. It’s not simply a matter of mortgage defaults, while inevitably bringing with them misery, a bigger threat to the economy is contraction in business investment, undermining growth and adding to the already high SME failures. Non of which will help the underlying causes of UK inflation, supply side deficiencies. It will also worsen the UK economy’s already poor productivity. What a mess.
  17. Well of course, a heavily armed mercenary army leaving its barracks and heading to within 200Km of Moscow is the ‘media blowing it out of all proportion’.
  18. I suggest the usual suspects quell their rage against migrants and save some of their rage energy for the future. Climate change is going to drive a lot more human migration, don’t burn yourself out too early, you’ve got a lot more migration to be outraged over on the way.
  19. The political impacts of rising interest rates are becoming clear: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/jun/24/mortgage-rise-impact-will-dwarf-energy-bills-crisis-for-uk-homeowners
  20. Another ‘no smoke without fire’ argument.
  21. Putin’s live broadcast statement in response was telling. The themes and rhetoric could very easily have been mistaken as having been scripted by a well known fascist.
