Get ready for 2028. That is the year, right?
US laws offers enough protections for legal strikes that unions follow the law so they can't do solidarity strikes. UAW is aligning their contract renewals for 2028, so it can happen then. But also if they repeal the nlra there will be little incentive to not start doing solidarity strikes.
it would be, but they are the minority party in the federal legislature. They can't do the things you're suggesting on their own. Obstructionism is the best course of action. You're asking for things they literally can't do, instead of things they choose not to like normal.
FAA is run by the executive branch. They are subject to laws that have to pass the republican legislature. Not a reasonable option at this point unless republicans start to turn on musk.
Those who could craft or enforce laws against musk right now are the states. If a state could charge musk with a crime and arrest him for it it could stick. The presidential pardon only extends to federal crimes.
"niche market," is a way of saying they made a bad product few want.
pickup trucks are hardly a niche product especially in the us
I can't believe it dropped 20% over.... ooops I had the chart upside down my mistake
The listed indices dropped an amount within the standard range that they regularly fluctuate. The dow is still up from where it was on january 1st. The same can be said for nasdaq and the s&p. Stocks are continuing to trend upward unabated, but they do wiggle as they do so.
Don't ever trust the news when they say the market "plummets." They use that term incredibly misleadingly. The lines on the charts wiggle constantly. When something bad happens some hack news sites will find a minor downward wiggle near the same time and they'll claim causation and pretend that something significant happened to the markets, to drive clicks to their website.
The fact that most of the comments are taking the headline at face value is not a good sign.
That is pretty normal. Skin was the first noticeable change for me.
What surprised me most in the first month was how similar everything felt. Your body has no way to consciously perceive your hormone levels directly. You will notice the effects. Skin and mood are often the first.
You're not imagining things The E is working! Congrats on getting started!
I thought I was a man for most of my life and I've only ever heard a man refer to another male's upper chest as a breast, in a non-insulting way one time.
It was Mark Twain in some book. It sounded weird and antiquated to my ear like a lot of the language his books.
Its not common in the modern american english I have encountered. You should speak how you want, but I wouldn't recommend it. Not because it would clock you, but because there are plenty of insecure men out there who might take offense to it.
edit: third time trying to rewrite the first sentence probably got it right this time.
The helicopter was flying at 300-400 feet. The buildings to the southeast are shorter than that. Those areas are 3-4 story sparse developments not highrises. The plane was above and descending. It would be seen against the night sky. There would be no buildings near where the helicopter would be looking for the plane.
Landing approaches are started from specific navaids. This plane was not off course because it was given a different arrival route than expected.
The airspace around DC is some of the most restricted in the world. Routes into the national airport are very tight with little allowance for error. Most of the routes come in over the river to avoid overflying government buildings, and the involved plane had a sharp left final over the river. The plane may have turned when the helicopter wasn't expecting it.
This is all speculation. Investigations into things like this are thorough. It is far to early to assign blame to anyone involved.
TCAS is a transponder based system. Warnings are suppressed at low altitude by design, and city lights do not interfere with it.
Runways get changed all the time for many reasons. Every runway at washington national is in a different direction, it would be a different approach entirely and not a last minute change. There is no evidence that the plane flew the approach wrong. There is ADS-B data for the full flight. Anyone can check the plane's actual flighpath.
Pilots can refuse ATC orders that are unsafe. The approach they were originally planning would have crossed the river and had the same risk of traffic.
The helicopter pilot seeing the wrong plane is a likely explanation. There were other planes in the area. The controller warned of the traffic. The pilot confirmed having the plane in sight.
From information on flightradar24's article, the collision happened at around 300-400 ft. Those altitudes are too low for TCAS to issue alerts. The Black Hawk had a transponder broadcasting with mode S, so it would be visible to TCAS and the tower, but it was not broadcasting ADS-B, which would let you see it on most flight tracking websites.
The jet would have received an audible TCAS alert if this happened at a higher altitude.
the 7 and 8 are all codenamed after plants. Lavender, Violet, Ginko, Begonia, Williow and Biloba.
Half are trees. Most are better names for trans women than Begonia.
I am a member of a union that predates the NLRB. And it will continue even if its gone. Unions did strikes when they were illegal. The law just makes strikes more peaceful, which is generally better for everyone involved, but it's not essential.
