2% is not a conservative number. It's expected to come in at 0.1%-0.5%. That's bad enough.

This is an _open_ list from 2005. They consider other, similar parties to be part of the list too. I.e. the AfD was founded only years later so it's not part of the list but still considered unwelcome by most.

My understanding is that the pilots had only about 40 seconds time to solve the problem and were trained for one hour with an iPad (not on the MCAS, but the whole 737 Max). I'm not sure whether this is a question of pilots' standa

Complying with the tax laws is now a leftist agenda? Calling out Apple getting an illegal tax deal in Ireland (below normal tax rate, against EU law) is leftist agenda? I think complying with rules is a very conservative thing to do.
