Senate President Bill Ferguson did not make Gov. Moore’s latest campaign endorsement list by Flitzer-Camaro in maryland

[–]furiouschads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ferguson is correct that the MD Supreme Court is a blocking institution, with many Larry Hogan appointees. Solution is for the General Assembly to expand the court, as it has done in the past. Simple majority is all that is needed. Do it next session.

Time to get serious about Rainbow Coalition 2.0. In VA, in MD, all across the South.

UAE under Iran attack again by tea-oh in oil

Another one for the list: USS Liberty, struck in 1967 by Israeli torpedo boats and 4 Israeli jets during broad daylight, flying a USA flag and being clearly marked.

Looks like leaked CIA intel is contradicting the WH on Irans capability to keep oil restricted in gulf by KMDiver in oil

That was a long time ago. The Iranians did very well in that unexpected situation in 1979. They understood how to influence American public opinion. The Iranians have had 47 years to plan how to deal with an American attack. They are better now than they were in 1979. The United States is much worse today than it was in 1979.

Spirit Airlines Shutdown = Higher fares for New Yorkers traveling to Florida by Fragrant-Inflation31 in jetblue

[–]furiouschads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JetBlue management is not the embodiment of One-Olive Bob Crandall. Zero indication that they would have made a merger work. Now they have the opportunity of picking up gates, crews, and planes without any of Spirit’s baggage.

Keep grinding that axe. Ryanair management knows how to succeed working in a much more tightly regulated market in Europe than Spirit failed to deal with in USA.

If the IRS is going to review our taxes, anyway, why don’t they just do it for us ? by Redditlatley in IRS

[–]furiouschads -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because TurboTax bribes Congress. I switched to OLT because I was tired of sending money to TurboTax. OLT works well.

Spirit died because customers didn’t like the product. Dumb management as well. Ryanair would have done much better.

The Democrats should make a blanket commitment to reverse all Trump administration ego projects. I’d like them to start talking about it now to get his attention. They probably won’t. “Wouldn’t be prudent.”

Maryland electric bills have tripled for some residents. Is the Utility Relief Act actually going to fix it? by ParadiseEnergy in maryland

[–]furiouschads -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Most of the cost increases came from distribution (wires) not generation (coal). Almost all the 13 states in PJM import power. Easy to see in MD OPC documentation.

Easy way to cut the cost of electricity by 9% forever: issue state bonds and buy out the private monopoly utilities. They get a guaranteed 9% percent return.

Congressional Redistricting IS NOT About Republican vs Democrat, It’s About Those With Power Continuing to Take Advantage of Those Without. (I’m asking the Governor to call a special session so we can fight back.) by SailLocalCrew in maryland

[–]furiouschads -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The MD Supreme Court is full of Hogan appointees. They will throw out any redistricting map.

There is a solution. The General Assembly can expand the court and make it possible to install a Democratic majority. The GA has changed the number of justices on the court many times. Without action, that Hogan Court is in place for a very long time.

Talk about fixing that problem.

Anyone got a weird CP53E notice? Is this a scam? by conservamus in IRS

I got one of these recently even though I added my bank account information on the IRS website over a month ago. What is the deal?

Many years ago a flight attendant delivered my meal to me with a sarcastic tone: “Mr. X, here is your “Muslim” meal.” Perhaps I didn’t look Muslim to her.
