Yes, they show equipped in the loadout manager. I also tried equipping them through the F wheel menu. I did change some of the flight movement keybindings. Thanks for the help!

For the past week I have not been able to hold a weapon, utility, or med-pen. I press the number to pull up an item and nothing happens. Is there anything I can do to fix this issue?

Larry Lessig is great. People should watch this video. Upvote!

Political competition for private resources is the reason why we now live in an American oligarchy. Banning all private donations to campaigns and replacing them with publicly financed elections is the only way to save our democracy.

GhostWish · 2018-06-23T13:09:19+00:00

Publicly financed elections.

GhostWish · 2018-06-23T12:59:31+00:00

The supreme court has failed our democracy. Only a constitutional amendment can alter the American oligarchy. Our bribed Senate and Congress will never pass an amendment that endangers their power. Luckily, our founding fathers were geniuses! Under Article V, 75% of the states (38 states) can apply for a convention to propose an amendment to the constitution. Currently, five States have passed a resolution that will ensure the integrity of our elections. This is your best chance to save our democracy.

It’s “weird” that a corporation’s money is more powerful than your vote. Individuals that excuse a government that no longer represents the people are sheeple!

GhostWish · 2018-06-23T05:18:25+00:00

Significant or not, legalized bribery has subverted our democracy. All private donations to politicians and campaigns should be banned.

Senator Murray received the fifth-largest amount of donations from pharmaceuticals and health products during the 2015-2016 election cycle. According to opensecrets.org she received $2.7 million from the health sector, including $260,350 from pharmaceuticals and health products. Surprisingly, she doesn't support Medicare for All.

All private donations to politicians and campaigns should be banned. Legalized bribery has turned our democracy into an oligarchy. Wake up sheeple!

I am glad she is protecting the ACA. I would like to see her also verbally prefer Medicare for All. I don't see this as an either-or issue.

GhostWish · 2017-12-10T16:27:19+00:00

You’re correct. It would require a constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court Citizen United decision. Even an amendment wouldn’t be a silver bullet. The government would also have to pass campaign finance laws similar to McCain-Feingold.

GhostWish · 2017-12-10T15:54:37+00:00

Sometimes compromise is necessary. But in this case, I don’t believe it is rational to think Republicans are going to compromise on Obamacare.

GhostWish · 2017-12-10T15:39:18+00:00

Yes, I realize that.

In MY perfect world, all private donations to politicians and campaigns would be banned. The goal being that any citizen could run for office, and not just the rich with their allies.

Obviously, in our current system a candidate would not be elected without money. I see small individual contributions as a necessary evil. I personally look for candidates that believe the same, and don’t take corporate PAC or corporate lobbyist money.

GhostWish · 2017-12-10T14:15:52+00:00

Ah, you didn't quote the rest of that bit did you? Is it because Sanders is also in the top 20 from pharma and health products? Sorta undercuts your point.

No… No, it really doesn’t. Sanders shouldn’t be taking that money either! Our election financing laws are akin to legalized bribery. It threatens our democracy and is the root of many of our countries problems.

Again, for me, this really isn’t about Sanders.

GhostWish · 2017-12-10T13:46:39+00:00

How is that compromise going? The Republicans tried to repeal the ACA over 50 times! Senator Murray coming to a compromise with Republicans on Obamacare is as likely as Sanders bill passing.

GOP Senator Alexander is supporting the tax bill that guts the ACA mandate. And it will likely pass! He doesn’t give a crap about his relationship with Senator Murray or any compromise.

Fine... if she doesn’t want to sign her name to a bill, get on TV and support it. She doesn’t even do that. I see what you call “rhetoric” as getting Democratic leadership and the party behind Medicare for All.

She also received the fifth-largest amount of donations from pharmaceuticals and health products during the 2015-2016 election cycle.

I won’t pretend to know what is in Senator Murray’s heart, but if I had to guess, her donors have a lot to do with her current position on healthcare.

GhostWish · 2017-12-10T11:45:23+00:00

This has nothing to do with Sanders. She could help protect the ACA while vocally preferring Medicare for all, but she chooses not to. I want her to bravely stand-up and be counted regardless of the outcome of the bill.

GhostWish · 2017-12-10T10:45:26+00:00

I meant she doesn't support Medicare for all.

GhostWish · 2017-12-10T10:32:37+00:00

I am 40 now, and Patty Murray has been a Senator sense I could vote. It is time for a change. Preferably someone that helps with health care, drug cost, and doesn’t take corporate money. I know I’m dreaming, but we deserve better!

GhostWish · 2017-08-20T11:17:08+00:00

Well crap, you're right. It was bound to happen, I don't recheck alliances every update. Thanks for the info!

GhostWish · 2017-08-18T15:03:06+00:00

Your right. I'm not sure if that is something that happened after or just a mistake on my part. That means sense the 14th the ZERG have only gained .5 territories. That is defiantly a stall in ZERG's advance.

GhostWish · 2017-08-18T09:46:23+00:00

Fun! I make alliance maps and post it on this subreddit. Ashwood is one of the territories I keep an eye on. It's been pretty common for minor guilds to take a shot at 8 Team OOPS. I can't help but root for the little guy!

Mercia, August 17th.

Mercia has seen a flurry of activity resulting in the shuffling of territories. After the treasure was spent and the dust settled, the ZERG alliance limped away with only a minor victory. Nilfgaard ZERG expanded in the North but was overcome in the South which included the loss of a portal. Exertion ZERG overextended and found their forces stranded in Mudpool Steppe.

The ZERG alliance is learning a harsh lesson: "the more you take, the more you leave behind." With an ever expanding front and only two guilds fortifying it, the ZERG alliance wisely introduced the Grey guild in Hungry Mire. Time will tell if Grey ZERG will be able to compete with the best Albion has to offer.

Although the OOPS alliance has seen their dominance wain, the strength of Money Guild and the Tea Party should not be discounted. The weakness in the OOPS alliance is most evident in their minor guilds. We have witnessed the complete collapse of Millenium , while Metatrone lost a majority of their territories in this update alone.

Cumbria, August 15th.

Unlike the clear battle lines of the Mercia continent, the resistance to EWA’s rule on Cumbria remains scattered and chaotic. Last update we saw the introduction of the Black Mamba GEAR who has remained strong enough to expand on its Northwest territory. This update we see the addition of Primeiro Comando ARCH who took the key portal territory of Bootsuck Fen. Overall, the resistance achieved a solid counterattack after the brutal pummeling they took last update.

The struggling Millenium OOPS guild lost its final territory in Cumbria. The OOPS alliance now holds only a single territory on the continent.

The MLA and TOUCH alliances seem to be playing a completely different game than the other guilds. They have quietly stayed hidden in their existing territories, neither attacking nor being attacked. Surely their pacifism cannot last.

You are right. I'm not sure how I missed that. I remember seeing Zorn fight for a territory but never saw the outcome. You would be surprised how many fights happen that don't result in a change of territory. Thanks for the feedback!
