The Radio communications from the plane of that 1 pilot dude that randomly jumped out of the plane:
Pilot (P): "Raleigh Approach, Shady 02." Raleigh Approach
(RA): "Shady 02, Raleigh"
P: "My co-pilot just ran out the back of the plane."
RA: "Shady 02, what now?"
P: "He just ran out the back of the plane." RA: "So you don't have a co-pilot on you, sir?"
P: "No, he just jumped out the back of the plane."
RA: "Uh, roger."
P: "Would you like me to circle where he leapt at?"
RA: "Uh, say that again?"
P: "Would you like me to circle where he got out at, or you got me on track?"
RA: "We've still got you on track, but did you need something else?"
P: "No, the dude literally jumped out the back of the plane without a parachute."

*Seven seconds of total silence*

RA: "Shady 02, did you need to do something else, circle or something, or-"
P: "No, I need to land. I'm just making you aware you're gonna have a dead body out where I just called you at. He just jumped out the back of the plane."
RA: "Roger, continue on your heading 0-5-0."
P: "Roger, 0-5-0, 0-2."

Yes, the airport isn’t far from my house and they had helicopters out circling where he jumped. That was about 15-20 minutes of driving away, so it’s not like he thought he was landing near the airport.

Once they found him, I remember a local news reporter of the homeowner where he landed: “at least he didn’t hit my house and damage it”

On a somewhat related note, the team from the little town where I am the principal is in the championship game of the regional Thursday night. The whole town is incredibly excited. I plan on being there Thursday night. It’s been a pretty incredible run for a tiny little town like Hagerstown.

Biden said for the month of July we were at 0% inflation. Can someone please explain to me how we are at 0% when it was at 9.1%, food is up 10.9% alone

Maybe you two are quoting two different data points?

Inflation of food alone and inflation for the whole economy world be two different numbers?

Google says energy prices are what's cutting into inflation when all sectors come together.

It may be actually true, but it's just the typical politician move where the only concern they have is making themselves look good and they say things like this and hope the masses fall for it. But ultimately, they don't care one bit about you or me, none of em do. They care about making themselves and their parties look good.

Taking a victory lap because prices didn't increase from last month while still looking at a near 9% increase YOY is, while technically true, entirely disingenuous, and like I said, done so just to prop up Team Biden. That had nothing to do with what's good for the people.

The sooner people realize that and to stop worshipping these politicians, the better off those people will be.

100% I am quoting something different. But he said inflation for July was 0%. I have yet to see anyone explain it.

Inflation is typically done year over year, not over 1 month.

Much like all of a sudden, we changed how we view what is a recession, they changed the normally accepted view on inflation while making a technically correct statement.

Again, it's just to prop themselves up, no other reason.
