I don't think there was so much traffic on these stairs that you ended up forced to one side the whole way. The forward distance travelled is also trivial in terms of effort compared to the height displacement upward. Most people can w

400 years. A huge part of the allure of expansion was land speculation. The biggest corporate colonial players pushed to expand west in order to be able to take land that would later develop into new settlements, making it far more valuable

Even simpler: if one sensor tells you confidently there's something in your way, and the other doesn't, assume there's something in your way.

You still haven't answered whether you're advocating for improving or starving the NHS. Although if you're intent on shitting on the NHS as if it's intrinsically bad (regardless of budget), I would strongly suspect you

Libertarians aren't actually that great at looking at the big picture.

Are you advocating for increasing the NHS budget, or replacing it with privatized health care?

Locking him out of the controls would have been enough (if the technology allowed it). Even just relieving him of his duty would have been enough. If Captain Dubois had been there early enough and decided to relieve him, Bonin would have al

Perhaps the physical effort of struggling against his co-pilot would have made him realize he was doing something wrong. It's too easy to pull back full on a fully non-mechanical control, and just lock up there.

Not OP, but more specifically, if the most experienced flight officer didn't leave the cockpit just as they were flying into the worst part of a storm and left the matter to the reluctant and nervous junior officers.

Although it might be the way its written, but Dubois leaving the cockpit seems to come at the worst possible time too, right before they're about to hit a storm and the junior officer is nervous. Although he may have known he really ne

Pitot tube failures are incredibly frustrating. In one case it's theorized a wasp nest blocked the inside of one, after not being covered while on the ground a long time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birgenair_Fli

Averaged inputs on the sticks was the worst thing I read about back when this happened. I can't imagine a circumstance where this is desirable, and it can only lead to confusion.

They already control all the market they'll control in Canada, and they won't expand outside Canada. Not a growth story.

Austerity means to aggressive CUTS to spending in many different sectors. Much, much worse than not keeping up with rising maintenance demands. The UK for example made deep cuts to healthcare and education, cost a lot of people jobs right a

The EU has better social support. However, the US dodged the austerity fad bullet in the 2010s. A lot of the EU really fell for it hard. Austerity is a fantastic way to inhibit growth.

The effects of unemployment on people compounds. It screws them over during their life, and affects the economy, over and over. Inflation is under control, and there is no expectation of high inflation, so we do not have the same trade

Much better to overdo stimulus in a crisis and prevent a cratering economy (and human suffering) than the opposite. Stimulus is hard , politically, basically only possible at the peak of the crisis. Raising rates to undo it after you know
