Stimulus money puts that day off,

That’s a lovely and lofty principle to stand on, but if Trump loses because there was no stimulus bill before the election, your lofty principles aren’t going to provide much comfort during the the long years of Democrat control that lie ahead

Yes, airline industry needs to get all their old rickety planes out of the air.
People’s lives depend on it.
Also, once Trump wins, all this covid fear monger it will be over.
No one without serious preconditions (kidney disease, heart issues, lung issues) has died from covid in 6 months.

And there is no way the Rats will allow it.”

We’ll never know because Mitch sent the Senate home till Nov 9 and took all pressure off Pelosi. Trump asked Mitch to push for a big stimulus with direct checks to the unemployed. Mitch said no and adjourned the Senate

Mitch got his judges, now he doesn’t need Trump. He’s maneuvering to have Trump lose and the GOPe regroup back into power.

IMHO, we ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

The ripple effects of the lockdowns have yet to make the news, but I fear they soon will.

I am still very active in aerospace. Boeing layed off a large number of senior engineers/managers back when things were good thinking they didn’t need them. Mistake in my opinion. Most of those engineers/managers are now working with other high class companies doing good things.

[And there is no way the Rats will allow it.]

That’s correct. When you have Wolf Blizter calling out Democrat Nancy Pelosi blocking stimulus you know the Democrats are signaling they want the struggling portion of the American people to suffer even more.

Why anyone would vote Democrat is beyond me.

Nancy Pelosi was so obvious and so blatant in her obstruction.

Hello, voters?

737MAX would be a longer haul plane. Not much demand for that during COVID. I would imagine that the airlines would park them regardless.

Because there are a lot of ignorant and dumb people out there as most socialists are defective in their thinking.

Would that apply if I have to go from the Midwest to Coddyfornia?

I’m guessing you’d say “Yes” - most of my hops (in the 1990’s) were 300-800 mile trips.

Yes? / No? TIA

I saw someone the other day talking about the ABC companies of Seattle. They called Boeing the Lazy B. My sister worked there as a contractor for a time and she said the employees don’t work.

Their mojo is not coming back. The boomers that haven’t been laid off are retiring (or will be soon) and while GenX might know what they’re doing, there aren’t enough of us to go around.

That leaves the millennials, and I’ll give some of them credit, I know a few who are decent, 80/20 for them is more like 95/5.

And after that, we’ll be wishing we had someone around who knew how to change a light bulb.

(I exaggerate, but that’s what it feels like here at lock-mart)

teams of six per bulb ought to get them up and running again - you know, one to hold the bulb and 5 to turn the ladder
