I had to go back and look at what Rush said. He bemoaned the politicization of the NFL by Kaepernick but wants flyovers, anthems and the other accoutrements of nation worship. That’s fine but it seems like a contradictory position to me. He would do well to look at the history of the symbols he worships and he would see that they were all progressive initiatives to induce service to the state.
I was preaching about our spending long before you were a twinkle in your fathers eye. 50 years have passed and we're still spending money like a drunken sailor. Someone knows something I don't, because nothing ever changes. I honestly don't care anymore, because if that many years has gone by and they're still talking about spending trillions of dollars to stimulate the economy when it doesn't need it I don't know what to say.
There is actually a whole logistics Jenga puzzle on this. Aircraft have finite lifetimes before they are either replaced or remanufactured. And when they are reman’ed it’s normally a SLEP or service life extension program which doesn’t zero time it to its original build configuration but rather it zero times it to a new equipment “block” baseline.
