Sorry I don't know how to post just the pic.
It was built in 60's and 70's.
Was going to be a big hub airport.

Yeah, the idea was that it would be hugely popular for supersonic jets like Concorde, due to its proximity to the ocean, where sonic booms wouldn't be a problem.

The massive proliferation of supersonic commercial aviation, of which Concorde was merely the first step, would make South Florida rich. Build it, and they will come.

But hey, in the extraordinarily unlikely event that supersonic flight turns out not to be the next big thing, at least it can be turned into a concentration camp by a future totalitarian US dictatorship.

I suspect that last bit never made it into the pitch to investors.

I'm going with "Bullshit". Trump is tossing a 50% tariff on Brazil for the investigation into Bolsonaro, who is another alt-right fascist, Putin aligned stooge.

Trump is doing this two-step with Ukraine, where he'll say something bad about Putin, then suggest he is supporting Ukraine, then step it back. They are okaying some already approved small arms shipment, while Ukraine needs a lot more. So, the words speak more quietly than the Trump Admin's actions.

Trump doesn't care much. So the Admin can pursue their own agenda, as long as they are careful to avoid directly contradicting their Fürher.

If Trump decided to care, the shipments would either massively increase, or stop completely, depending on his whim. But he doesn't, so his subordinates get to pursue their agendas. And as they are not united, there's no consistency. One day the pork barrel faction are arming Ukraine to create jobs in American munitions factories; The next day the America First faction are trying to keep all the weapons for the US military stockpile.

Meanwhile, Trump is bored with Ukraine, and even with Putin, and has gone off chasing the next squirrel.
 
@TomC, @crazyfingers:
Sorry for the delay. The approval bot (checks for copyrights and such) was down for maintaince.
And then I took a few days to reorganize my page.
Unfortunatly the sale on caps and hats is now over. Prices are now $19 & $24.
Something is always on sale, So check back for caps/hats to be on sale again.
Maybe you'd like something else with your design: (mugs, t-shirts, etc)

It is malpratice for him to not know that they realy have been tested.
He just wants to be bribed to do new testing.

Disagree. His claim very well might be "true". Note the "placebo-controlled" bit. It's a trick to make you think there's a problem when there isn't. The fundamental problem is that when you're testing something like this your control arm is the best available treatment. Thus in any situation where there is an already-accepted treatment the tests will not be placebo-controlled as that would be malpractice.

Yes they have all been tested and his 69 to 92 has also got to be a lie. 15 to 20 individual shots would be more like it. Tjat's about what our kids got.

No. He's counting vaccine doses, not jabs, he might be "right". Remember, things like TDAP and MMR where unrelated vaccines with the same administration schedule are combined. Until recently flu was actually 4 separate vaccines. (The Covid lockdown apparently killed one clade, it hasn't been declared extinct but it's been pulled anyway because of the risk of reintroduction from vaccine production.) HPV is 4 vaccines. Some of the vaccines for the elderly have far more things in them.

I don't believe that. I'm an old fart, and I've only had 6 stabs in the last 5 years, and 3 of those were for covid.
(only flu shots in the 20 years before 2020).
Most vaccines are 'for life'. And you get them earlier than old age. Othrwise what's the point.
Of course they are tested for reactions with other vacs, if they give them together. Medical researchers are not stupid.
