If what you are saying is true, and it was the pilots fault, I'm wondering why did a corporation with the clout and resources of Boeing lose in court?

by arunabha 1y ago
Yeah, but then you're depending on a notoriously fickle and unreliable person wanting or remembering to do that when the time comes. Sure, if you're a true believer in the cause you'll take that risk, but a majority of the pe

Yes, but even then, as an official, you don't know if you'll be sure to get one. A court ruling significantly increases the risk of wilful disobedience for officials and hence dramatically lowers the probability of being ignored.

Yes, it does. Because it draws a clear line in the sand. The administration can choose to disobey the order, but that opens up individuals in the govt to potential prosecution later. That's why governments try fairly hard to go the l

I'm really surprised to see this on the front page. Usually stories like this move off the front page in minutes. It's not because of flagging though. I had asked the question on a previous article which disappeared off the front

The irony of a MAGA govt which claims to fight for freedom for individuals, trying to filter out potential immigrants if they have expressed opinions contrary to current dogma is particularly palpable.

But the executive is supposed to implement laws that Congress passed. So isn't the executive bound by the first amendment as well?

The truly depressing thing is, a lot of people are actually happy about this action. How did things get so bad, so quickly? People who lived under authoritarian regimes have long said that things move slowly at first, but after an inflect

Lots of good recommendations here, but I'll add mine which is Zhongba 1 year fermented light soy sauce. The long fermentation time and the addition of a specific white mushroom (口蘑 (kǒumó)) gives it a somewhat unique deep flavour witho

Choosing not to enforce the click to cancel rule is not Trump's fault? How so?

One piece of evidence would be that Russia, Belarus and North Korea have been specifically excluded from US tariffs. You could argue that the net effect is negligible since we don't import a lot from those countries, but the signal bei

At this point, the number of probable explanations for antics DOGE in particular and the administration in general are close to zero. One somewhat far fetched(till recently) explanation floated for the all out war on institutions waged by t

I can understand your position intellectually. Certainly, examples of right wing views being met with hostility can be found. But I hope you realise that whataboutism simply perpetuates the very behaviour that your are opposed to. If you ar

Have they? I believe they still haven't followed the supreme Court order in the return of Garcia and that was a unanimous decision.

The 'official' explanation that I got from Dang was that political posts hit automated software filters because of flagging and down voting which cause them to disappear from the front page. Separately, sometimes the moderation te

I am genuinely curious as to what your point is. Not saying it's wrong, but a succinct summary might be useful.

I am not sure how it's possible to defend the kind of stuff DOGE is doing anymore. Even the veneer of looking for efficiency is gone. There have only been claims of 'fraud' with no real evidence backing up the claimed scale o

I'd say it goes beyond silence. Anything political used to be flagged and pushed of the front page in minutes till about a couple of weeks ago. Not very surprising given the current political environment.

Ending the statement with 'There is a list of things' and not providing it strongly suggests that you don't actually have any data or hard facts to back up your claims. You are a random person on an internet forum, the onus i

Honestly, the biggest victory for the govt here is probably being allowed to invoke the act when the nation is clearly not at war. The act has previously only been invoked in war time. To allow the govt to claim that we are at war based on

I hope this one doesn't get ganged up on by the flagging brigade. Of late, anything even remotely political, esp if it's critical of Trump or Musk get flagged immediately and swiftly moved off the front page. Regardless of of your
