Just another example of how this world is corrupt and just folking evil.He lost way more jobs than that. In 2020, he signed AB5 which banned all independent contractors (who didn't get a waiver from the law-hint: gave him a kickback in political donations to get special status). He lost tens of thousands of truckers jobs. I think it was around 70-80 thousand. Without those truckers, deliveries everywhere slowed down damaging businesses reputations and frustrating consumers. Many more jobs were lost and businesses moved out of state because they couldn't function.
As a volunteer martial arts instructor, our school was at the end of our building lease. We were moving somewhere cheaper with the offer that I could be taken on as an employee rather than a volunteer or independent contractor. AB5 made it so the school would have to pay each volunteer as an employee, since we were not a nonprofit. No martial arts school can function that way. It takes years of training to get someone to the level of being an instructor. They aren't hired off the street. Imagine the dues students would have to pay for their instructor's 6 year internship. Then, a few months later, the governor called the school "nonessential" due to Covid and shut us down when we were about to move. The owner cut his loses as he was paying for rent on two buildings for the last few months to get things changed over. The state broke him. After 21 years of training, the governor cost me a job before it was even counted as a job.
Then to add insult to injury, the governor's businesses stayed running during the entire time of Covid and took nearly a million dollars of Covid relief money. He got caught breaking his own law showing up partying at the French Laundry, and his Aunt Nancy Pelosi illegally opened up a hair salon just so she could get her hair done, while the rest of us weren't allowed to legally get a haircut. There has been no accountability for any of this. I could go into his sweetheart deal for PG&E after the Paradise fire, cutting resources for proper forest maintenance, then blaming all the fires on global warming, but I'll leave it at that. Oh yeah, forgot, this year he signed a law requiring all garden lawnmowers and weed walkers sold be electric so anyone doing forest maintenance in the future is only going to get a fraction of the work done. Expect larger forest fires from now on because of this stupid law. More homes and businesses will be gone, from the flames.

My brother has autism. A school teacher turned their back on him for two seconds in a junior high computer lab one time. He pushed some buttons and shut down all the computers in the lab. Took an expert a whole day to fix whatever he did. Autistic people have great potential. I'd never underestimate one. Yes, Elon Musk has autism/Asperger's.

I knew Kalifornia was bad but I really had no clue just how bad. We visited there about 20 years ago and there were already warning signs. The irony is that the people who voted for all this crazy stuff are moving to other states where they will vote for the same thing. Arizona and Texas will all change as a result. I could say it more clearly but don't want to fall foul of the no politics rule.

Fortunately in my state voter registration shows refugees are making it even redder 👌
Warning to all CPF members who reside in England. Beware of what you say online:
There's a man in England who is going to spend just under 2 years in prison for voicing his opinion. That's right! Turns out there are NO protections in place regarding Freedom of Speech in that nation. None. Even the judge handing down the sentencing looks like an Old English Tyrant, and clearly in his diseased mind, what took place was a very serious crime. This is not just disgusting. It is vomit-inducing obscene to a horrendous degree!
(And, the accused actually plead guilty, just so he could get a significantly reduced amount of prison time! Someone remind me what year this is.... Better yet, go remind that worthless excuse for a judge!)

Monocrom - I'd like to respond but it's not safe. There's a British lady online that uses the expression "hurty words". It's way more true than you imagine.

A flight from San Fransisco, CA to Jackson Hole, Wyoming had to be diverted to Salt Lake City, Utah because the pilot was not qualified to land at the original destination. I thought only 9/11 plane hijackers were the only pilots dumb enough to fly a plane and not know how to land it. I think all passengers should annoyingly ask customer service this question from now on: "Is my pilot qualified to both fly and land the plane where I'm going?" Maybe that costs extra now.
The runway at that Wyoming airport must be a short runway.
Most likely explanation. The one at Utah must have a normal length runway. This scenario is actually somewhat common. If your pilot is not qualified to land on a short runway, and has little to no experience doing so, he can easily overshoot the runway and crash upon landing.

That was the case. The point is that both the pilot and the airport should have known that before the plane took off with an unqualified pilot. This is basic aviation safety. If they can't handle this, they should be shut down before they put a pilot in the cockpit who can't make it to a runway they are qualified to land on before the plane runs out of fuel. This could have ended in disaster.

No alcohol. Should be interesting. About 1/4 mile away, I drove by to take a look...
As someone in Security who strives to do a Professional job each night, you might be thinking the follow vid. seriously ticked me off! Actually no. I was laughing hysterically. Meet Jerry, and wonder with the rest of us what it was that Air-Force personnel were thinking regarding Jerry....
