It's fairly typical of aviation around the world

Old is safe, and if it's reliable, why change it?

We just add new layers on top of the old system

For the record, whole lot of planes using floppy disks too

    There’s no shortage of oil or oil products tbh. It’s just less plentiful than it usually is

    That's a shortage.

    people are burning less because prices are up.

    It's supply and demand.

    Supply decreased while demand remained constant. Supply/demand curve shifted right, which means higher prices during the period of reduced supply

    I wonder if this has anything to do with the communications deal Ukraine made with a British subsidiary of an Israeli company

    Allegedly it would replace Starlink for offensive drone operations

    It isn't an attempt to hold him accountable. It's an attempt to hold congressional Republicans accountable

    The goal is to get Republican house and senate members on record voting against impeaching Hegseth

    There is a decent chance it passes the house. All they need is a few republican votes. There is effectively zero chance he is convicted by the senate

    It's all political posturing for headlines and will have zero direct effects

    it will always be a positive on a resume.

    Having done hiring before, I can definitively state that is false

    If someone decided to use their limited resume space to include Eagle Scout, I would view it negatively. It means they had nothing else relevant they could add

    So at a minimim there is at least one interviewer for which it is a negative. Can't speak for everyone though

    Even stranger is their phrasing:

    Schnee, who has served as an Eagle Scout [...]

    "Served"? The article is acting like it's military service

    He's a grown man who permanently maimed a teenage girl due to his own recklessness
