The mid-air collision was caused by a military chopper. The ATC attempted to contact the chopper pilots. The pilots allegedly did respond, on a completely different frequency that the ATC was not monitoring.

At this point, it's very clear the collision was caused by the military chopper. There's zero evidence whatsoever that the ATC could have done anything to prevent the collision.

Lots of back and forth regarding the pilots of the chopper, the command structure of the military base, etc. Your focus on an FAA director and advisory committee that both have zero impact on military "training exercises" is a pretty hardcore stretch to try to blame something on Trump that Trump clearly had nothing to do with.

If you want some potential for agreement, let's agree that at this time, we have not seen evidence that backs Trump's claims of DEI hires being responsible for the collision, and call it good at that, shall we? :)

This one looks increasingly to be the fault of whoever was flying the chopper. I'll post the video soon.You can see for yourself that heli wasn't avoiding the collision and there is no way they didn't see that plane incoming.

It is world class, our infant mortality rate is half yours.
And yes, almost any trade, my wife is a fire tech and makes 140k per year, i was a boiler maker on 160k per year 15 years ago, i retired at 35.
We pay for it as a society, which is how a country should work.

You aren’t smart. He’s saying the truth, and of course itll temporarily increase prices as Mexico can’t afford to export at that degree, thats the idea. The intent is to increase tge price of foreign goods and decrease the abundance. With that in mind, what goals do you think such an action would be for?

Can we not call it good at that, because it is actually legitimately insane your president scapegoats "DEI" hires not even 24 hours after the crash and it was just not true? Hello, have you also lost all connection to reality?

I said Mexico hasn't paid for the wall
He brought up tariffs
How else am I suppose to respond to someone thinking Mexico is the one paying tariffs.and yes the tariffs are not even meant for the wall he was the one who brought them up.

My issue is the wall they were suppose to pay for. The tariffs are nothing to do with it.

It doesn't increase prices for Mexico, it makes it more expensive for the importer not the exporter
The point of tariffs is to make foreign things more expensive to deter businesses from buying from China Mexico etc and increase production and businesses of same products on American soil

To mention though I'm all for a 100% tariffs on China,we need to eliminate our dependence on them
