OT- DC commercial plane and Blackhawk collide

Unfortunately found out this weekend that a very nice lady I know lost her daughter in the DC crash. Very bright young woman. Incredibly sad situation as she saw the breaking news on television and knew her daughter was on the flight.
Yeah that's rough 😕 😞 😔

Ya that has to horrible.
 
If it is truly about border security then it will absolutely work. How do I know this? Because they already offered to meet and figure out how to increase border security but we ignored them. They offered up multiple solutions.
They offered up solutions that fit their ideology. Both leaders of those countries are progressives and offered left leaning solutions. Now both countries are pledging money and/or troops to avoid the additional tariffs. Art of the deal 101

Did they not offer up a joint task force and increased agents before? What is "left" about that?

Those leaders offered solutions that were more beneficial to their country than the US.. Just as any other leader would. Neither you or I know what the actual deal or proposal stated. The president clearly did and obviously it wasn’t enough of a commitment for him, so he placed the tariffs. it is just that simple.

horrible. We have to get to the bottom of all the contributing factors and eliminate them so nothing like this happens again.

If that is true, which I doubt, then good for us. I think they could have got that agreement without all the drama, but you are correct. You and I won't know. I hope it's over because I personally enjoy the lax border policy we have for citizens of both countries.
 
We refine their oil for them since they don't have the refineries

There was nothing vague. And you can make improvements in protocol, but it doesn't change where the responsibility of this lies.

Helicopters shouldn't be running missions in Class B, C or D airspace. Absolving the military of this is supporting them continuing this insanity.

Where did I say I’m absolving the military? Hence, there wasn’t a single point of failure. I’m guessing you’ve never flown. Do you have the CRJ insight, and directions to follow that traffic when there was a plane taking off, at night, is absolutely not clear.

It must have been clear to the helicopter because they never asked for clarification.
 
This is probably a little above your level, so try to stay with me. Your guy is upset because we have a trade deficit with Canada. Why do we have a trade deficit? Because we need the resources they have for our economy. We absolutely need to get along with them.
When is the last time the US had a trade surplus with Canada? What existing tariffs that Canada has on US goods are the good ones that make the trade relationship a good one?

The trade agreement was negotiated and signed by the current president. What sense does it make to start fighting over something he created? Did the trade deficit get worse since 2020?

Also, if trade was the issue, why not start off by trying to negotiate a new deal before going off and threatening tarrifs?

This wasn’t really about trade. Keep up. It’s about immigration and border security. Canada let’s just about everybody in.
 
Well that changes a lot of narratives if true.

It’s not completely true and his statement is disingenuous at best. May have already been stated but they have not recovered the flight recorder from the chopper. Flight recorders are considered the most accurate and reliable measure of altitude, speed etc… The flight recorder on the air jet says it was the plane was at 325 feet when it struck the helicopter. Now… The records from the air traffic control tower say the helicopter was at 200 ft. So currently there is a 125 foot discrepancy between the plane’s flight data recorder and the tower records. The gov’t has yet to provide an explanation for this 125 foot discrepancy and is waiting for the flight data from the blackhawk to hopefully clear things up.

Remember, the flight data recorder is considered the most accurate record available.
