Biden’s Scorecard

[houndawg]

FAA grounds all flights NATIONWIDE this morning due to some systems failure, in the biggest grounding since 9/11, resulting in thousands of cancelled and delayed flights. Not to worry though, I'm sure Buttijudge is on it.

Maybe Congress will give the FAA some money to modernize thir decades-old systems. Even a Republican Congress can't be against modernizing something so important.

Or find another way to fund it. Simply more government spending isn't always the best option, especially for the long term.

Its going to be the public paying however you fund it.

Off topic but related to airlines - there are a few places in the Pacific Islands where airlines are experimenting with a ticket price that is calculated using the weight of you and what your travelling with. Seems fair

Yep. But good luck getting your fellow lefties to go along with that, you fat shamer.

I bet its coming for all air travel. Makes a perfectly sensible to spread the cost of fuel according to who uses it.

They would need to have a standard charge when the flight is booked and a weight surcharge at the airport so people would have a rough idea of how much their flight would cost when they made their reservations.

Maybe Congress will give the FAA some money to modernize thir decades-old systems. Even a Republican Congress can't be against modernizing something so important.

Why should the cost of fuel be spread "according to those who use it" but the cost of modernizing old systems should be born by all taxpayers?

I didn't say it should be, I said it will be. The two are not the same.

Biden gives huge boost to Chinese mining, chooses to make the US more dependent on foreign minerals.

On Sunday, the U.S. Department of the Interior and the U.S. Department of Agriculture under President Biden announced the 20-year withdrawal of more than 225,000 acres of northern Minnesota forest land, which is home to some of the largest domestic mineral reserves.

According to the House Committee on Natural Resources, this ban includes the Twin Metals mine, which taps into vast domestic supplies of minerals like copper and nickel that are necessary for renewable energy, computer systems, defense applications and essential household products.

Your article leaves out the fact that Twin Metals is a Chilean subsidiary for some reason.

Still far better to have the minerals extracted in America by a Chilean subsidiary than have to buy from Communist China metals extracted in China, or in Africa by Chinese owned companies.

Good. Adding more agents without fixing the tax code is just a waste of money.

Who really believes that the 87K agents will focus on the wealthy? The wealthy are difficult targets, they can afford accountants and attornies. The middle class and below are more likely to just pay additional taxes and fines to avoid the hassle.

Don't believe me?

Why will people who've sold goods or conducted a business service and collected payment through Venmo, PayPal, Cash App, Square, Stripe, Etsy, or eBay receive a 1099-K Payment Card and have that income reported to the IRS?

Portland area preschool taxes and predatory tactics

But before the April 18, 2022 deadline for paying those taxes, neither Metro nor the county could be bothered to send out reminders about tax measures that passed at least 18 months earlier. They relied instead on what they described as “extensive” outreach by the city of Portland to area employers and tax preparers.

That outreach never registered at TurboTax. That Intuit software was in the dark about the Metro and preschool taxes. So were the many employers who never heard about the county’s withholding requirements.

Do I trust the government to focus on the wealthy, to be ethical in notifying and collecting taxes, to put the revenue toward what it was intended? No, I trust the government to act like a loan shark who loaned money to a family member and is now threatening to brake my legs if I don't pay.

158.866 employed Feb 2020 in a population of about 331 million
160,138 employed Jan 2023 in a population of about 334.3 million

Would need to have about 160.5 million employed to have the same labor force participation rate as had right before Covid hit. Are 300-400k employed short of that.

Spreading the cost of fuel according to how much is burned per passenger is so obvious as to not require explanation even here.

I never said the cost of modernization "should" be born by all taxpayers. I said it "will" be born by all taxpayers - big difference, Z.

For comparison:
2023 Biden 27.3 million/334 million US population (8% of population).

Delusional left was slobbing Biden's knob. Ex CNN's Wolf Blitzer:

"I have heard President Biden going back to his 36 years in the U.S. Senate...I've gotten to know him a bit. I think this was the best speech I have ever heard him deliver. He was passionate, it was extremely well-written...a powerful message.

She couldn't hold a candle to Huckabee, or frankly to Psaki. Psaki aka Little Red Lying Hood was very competent and good at her job- she would have made Goebbels proud. St Pierre is terrible, but the WH can't fire her, at least not yet, because she checks 3 identity politics diversity boxes.

3 UVA football plyers killed by ex player with a HANDGUN. White House response:

Too many families across America are bearing the awful burden of gun violence.But we must do more. We need to enact an assault weapons ban to get weapons of war off America’s streets.

3 Mich St students killed by a guy with a HANDGUN. In response Biden today starts talking about wanting to ban modern sporting rifles that he like to call 'assault weapons'..
