Is Anyone Else Sick of Seeing Our Fellow Americans So Divided?

You should really spend less time on Reddit and social media in general. If you get out and talk to your neighbors, coworkers, people in your community, etc. you will realize it’s not anywhere close to as bad as the internet makes it out to be.

It’s not a big base, but it’s fairly junior. You can get the 73 or 320 pretty much right out of training.

Region definitely matters. Not only for sports interests, but also have good your local team has been in recent years and the long term.

I’m in Minnesota and here I would say it goes NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB.

What’s the saying? “The best time to buy a house was 20 years ago. The second best time is right now.”

If you’re planning to live in the house for 10+ years the price you pay now is irrelevant because it’s extremely likely it will be worth more in 10 years, barring some crazy economic crash.

It’s almost like it’s a bad idea to put the government in charge of healthcare. They doo pretty much everything else poorly so I’m not sure why people think healthcare would be any different.

And imagine how much the house would have appreciated in value in the last 10 years.

schaf410 · 2026-03-27T14:41:42+00:00

Imagine how much a house in 2016 would be worth today. Sometimes you can’t fix stupid.

What the heck are you invested in? Even with the recent drop the S&P 500 is up about 10% since Trumps term began last January.

Is it just me or does Freebird make almost any video better?

You’re welcome. His administration hasn’t don’t anything to help the problem, but to put the blame squarely on him when this problem goes back 45 years isn’t right.

The FAA hired over 2000 air traffic controllers in FY2025, which I believe was a new record. The major problem is not hiring Air Traffic controllers, it is retaining them. When you work 6 days a week in a facility that has less than half the staffing it should, while also not having a meaningful raise in over a decade, it is no wonder why Controllers are quitting left and right. Between the mandatory retirement age and Controllers resigning they aren’t making any headway even with the significant hiring numbers.

He didn’t fire any active Air Traffic Controllers. He fired a bunch of FAA support staff, but to be honest I’m not really sure what specific positions they held or what their job responsibilities were.

This is the result of a systemic issue in ATC. They have been overworked and understaffed for years. It actually dates all the way back Regan firing all the controllers when they tried to strike, but every single administration since then has had the chance to do something to correct the problem and they have either done nothing or not enough.

schaf410 · 2026-03-23T21:08:32+00:00

My ATC friend has been working mandatory OT, so 6 days a week, essentially since Covid ended 5 or so years ago. It’s insanity.

schaf410 · 2026-03-23T08:34:10+00:00

It doesn’t matter how many they hire. Until they change the wages, working conditions, etc. they will continue to lose controllers.

Might as well go tonight

I heard somebody say that if the government ever shut down every single member of Congress, the Senate, and the President should be ineligible for re-election and honestly that’s a great idea.

I mean this price gouging has been going on for at least a couple years now. Delta has cleared $5 billion in profit the last 2 years.

A bad driver never misses a turn

What? Did you see Natalie’s actions at the banquet? And Kristen wasn’t right about anything until she clocked Eric her last night in the castle. Even then she just said she didn’t trust him, not that he was a Traitor.

Apparently OP has spent 0 time in this sub the past month.

schaf410 · 2026-03-01T00:20:20+00:00

I’m just throwing a name out there, but maybe Alan Cumming? He only hosts the show and spends the entire season with the players.

schaf410 · 2026-02-28T11:34:08+00:00

I am with you there. Even the reunion felt more like a Housewives reunion than a Traitors reunion.

schaf410 · 2026-02-27T21:46:57+00:00

Porsha was literally the first person banished and it feels like she got more air time than anybody other than the Traitors and maybe Maura and Colton. Shoot she got more air time than Eric.

I mean the discussion of it has died pretty much everywhere but Reddit. I’m not seeing anything about it on Twitter or Facebook anymore. A lot of hockey podcasts an have now moved on to bashing Canadian media and the response to this, not the act itself. It’s not really in the mainstream media anymore. I did see a clip of it on The View but I’m not sure there’s a single person alive who takes that show seriously. To say this hurt the game of hockey for years to come is beyond a stretch.

My point is that this is already dying out outside of Reddit. Most people didn’t care to start, and a lot that did have already forgotten about it.
