If Whitehouse staffers need uppers and downers to get through their day I mean I guess, whatever.

This has to be stopped. Just look at what Napster did to the music industry. That’s right, there used to be a music industry and now it’s just…gone. No more music, no more money to be made in music. Don’t let these evil streaming services do the same to poor defenceless Hollywood, bastion of women’s rights!

I’m sure that baby was Christian too. Just like Jesus.

Watching the conservative media do backflips over how poor Aussie battlers on $200k are hard done by on this is hilarious.

This was a responsible compromise from a functioning government.

Well done to Albo for this honestly. It would have been better if they scrapped the whole thing.

Could you please give me a car analogy to explain this?

Slow clap

Good work.

Even though some knob in that article says I am ‘outraged’ by this I most definitely am not.

My emotions aren’t regulated by what happens to a statue.

Thanks George Carlin.

The reason I think that it’s unlikely to be problematic is because the experts quoted in the article said it’s unlikely to be problematic.

I also have a very small amount of knowledge on this and know that planes fly with missing parts/broken things all the time, just like how everything in our car isn’t working 100% of the time either but we still drive it.

Touché, although I’m assuming this is a different model of aircraft so not plagued by the same issues.

As in, do I think it means there are poor inspection practices?

No it isn’t indicative of this. Planes fly with things wrong with them every single day.

There is every chance that the maintenance crew notified people of this - it was signed off as still being airworthy and the whole reason this was an issue is actually because PR not a risk to safety.

Yep, any number of reasons why it could have been left like that.

I’ve been on planes where I’ve seen duct tape on the wings, it’s really not an issue other than psychological.

The chances of that panel actually coming off are vanishingly small.

They will scream as their plane that wasn’t regularly inspected by government bureaucrats plummets to the ground.

I would have been fine flying on that plane.

Highly unlikely that panel was critical to keeping the plane in the air even if it did come off during flight.

The only consolation is that bracket creep means the effect isn’t as terrible as we think.

The joke is the difference in meaning between the words ‘basic’ and ‘prime’ not the actual underlying services.

Alright Holden Caulfield.

Everyone is a big phoney except you.

You silly billy.

The point is that neither man is likely to have a cognitive condition that would affect their presidency.

It’s hypocritical because the Republicans constantly attack Biden for similar gaffes despite the fact Biden is pretty much just like Trump when it comes to mental acuity.

Do I think trump has completely lost his marbles because of one gaffe? No.

In the same way Biden is just as coherent.

Both men being relatively equal on this the distinguishing factor then turns to the fact that one has said they will be a literal dictator and the other likes ice cream and capitalism.

My pleasure. Hope your English studies go well.
