That is not luck, that is by design, there's a lot of engineering done to ensure airplane crashes has as high survival rate as it can. Unfortunately, there's no such design on the political system as a whole.

Checks and balances, but those are gone now
I vote we let Boeing design a brand new plane for Trump. Make sure it has all the bells and whistles. Add a co pilot seat for Musk.
Boeing is the only true American company, it has what the pilots crave
Your mention of a co pilot reminds me, Boeing should add AI to such a vehicle! It would surely enhance Trump's experience.
So much so, it should be tied directly into the flight controls, to make sure it's as smooth a ride as possible.

People are already not surviving, literally and figuratively, the time has long since come and gone to "hope" the problem isn't real. The problem very much here, and it is absolutely going to kill us unless we do something about it right fucking now.
USA planes are gonna get banned from international flights at this point.
TARRIFED
sounds like a good thing.
I think reverse might happen as well. Airlines from other countries might refuse to fly to USA.
Both: Airlines from other countries refuse to fly in US airspace because of dangerous ATC and planes from the US are refused entrance in the airspace of other countries because the FAA isn't trusted to enforce proper maintenance schedules on planes from US companies and other countries don't want the additional cases of planes falling from the sky or crashing on landing that would result from de facto unregulated air travel safety in the US.
Also Boeing sales would suffer if the FAA was officially deemed in other countries to not have equivalence with their local air-travel regulators when it came to oversight of plane manufacturing because it wasn't actually doing the job of preserving the safety of air-travel.
He is speedrunning isolation if this happens. US and EU relations are already at their breaking point after. Threatening to go to war with Denmark and his Ukraine visit.
putins plan is working perfectly, causing disorginzation in america, and the rest of world, so they cant concentrate on things like ukraine and putins internal politics.
This is genius haha
Americans will never see any real progress in their lifetimes as long as the Democratic party in its current incarnation stands intact.
Conservatives are by their nature evil and reactionary, but also simultaneously eternal and temporary. They are a society's dead skin being shed before the new form emerges, its cocoon of petulant narcissism refusing to accept reality.
The problem with neoliberal Democrats is that they don't realize that they're conservative too, and as such must be shed.
Blaming Dems, when we could have had so much progress because of them since 2000 if gore had been granted his win, is the reason we got trump.
People and posts like you and yours are part of the problem. You spend all your energy fighting the only party trying to help you at all right now and for the past 25 years.
This isn't about Dems this is about shortsighted electorate like you.
Calling neolibs conservatives is fucking hilarious and sad.
if gore had been granted his win
Yes, he was the actual winner
Blaming Dems [...] is the reason we got trump.
Lol, lmao even.
You spend all your energy fighting the only party trying to help you at all right now and for the past 25 years.
Yeah they've been doing a bang up job of it.
Literally every tactic employed by Trump could have been employed by a Dem who actually wanted to enact positive change, as well as expanding and packing the supreme court with loyalists. You know, if they didn't have dementia and weren't being "Weekend at Bernie's'ed" by party functionaries.
This isn't about Dems this is about shortsighted electorate like you.
"The Democrat Party can never fail, they can only be failed."
Calling neolibs conservatives is fucking hilarious and sad.
I only wish I could see your face when you look up the word "neoliberal"
Neoliberalism is right wing though, you have American brainrot. America is so far right wing (fascist) you cant even see it.
Democratic party suddenly becomes a full-blown socialist party, complete with an anti-capitalist manifesto. Imagine
Republicans would win every election for at least 2 generations.
IDK, Sanders did pretty well on that Fox News appearance. If suddenly there weren't both sides telling people to hate the left, you might be surprised at the results.
That's what they thought about Trump back when. Turned out many people want to dismantle status quo
Indeed. It is the USA after all
Both the funniest and most wished for idea this year!
God I need to learn how to lucid dream.. okay I know how, but I need to get better at it
wake up and go back to sleep.
guides are available online, and a film touching the topic exists : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waking_Life

Keep a dream journal and write down anything you remember immediately when you wake up. Re-read them before bed and it trains your brain to remember more detail. No point having lucid dreams if you don't know about it afterward.
