Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!

It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.

If the company’s TEAMSTERS strike, the PILOTS will strike??

YESSSS!!!

...Lemme put this in context.  Airlines are HURTING FOR PILOTS.  Flying is a very expensive hobby, and it’s very expensive to get a pilot’s license.  

It used to be just about anybody could do that, but *gestures at minimum wage vs inflation* (federal minimum wage is around $8, yet we now need $28 to survive, folks, it’s gotten that bad) so of COURSE people aren’t able to become pilots!

And the Air Force, et al, aren’t flying as many planes because they’re investing more in drones than in pilots, so you can’t go into the military hoping to become a pilot that way, getting the military to pay for your training... (Plus there are hundreds and hundreds of people serving groundcrew for every single pilot, so the odds were always low to begin with.)

So combine all of that with the fact 3,300 pilots are saying they will also go on strike...

There aren’t enough spare pilots to fully scab their strike.
