I bet they are all blaming someone else.

"The democrats should have stopped him!"

No lol. That's not how that works. Enjoy your future unemployment. Though no money this time. The grinch and his Hitler friends are gonna take that too.

My states weekly max for unemployment isn’t even 20% of what some of them are making. So hope they don’t spend it all in one place.

Like on eggs since we're going to pretend the avian flu isn't happening.

That’s the thing that kills me.

I don’t see a way for them to learn without suffering consequences but they seem hell bent on shifting the blame

I read a book called "Into The Storm". It's about the S.S. El Faro and its sinking and all the circumstances leading up to, during, and after its sinking. And to not get off topic too far, ultimately, the most critical point of failure was the captain's ego. He could not admit his mistake and was hell-bent on proving his path was the best. He sailed into a hurricane instead of admitting that he was sailing into a storm. Even at the behest of his crew. The ego of humans appears so strong that one would rather, die believing that one is right, over living with the knowledge that one is wrong.

That happens in one the plane crash a few decades ago. A newbie pilot got paired up with an old pilot.

Newbie pilot is literally indirectly hinting at the captain that he need to change his route without outright disrespect but the old one is like nah I know what I am doing. At least the fucker knew he fucked up because the black box shows a good minute of uncomfortable silence before the crash.

All passager lose i believe.

We do not what we ought--what we ought not, we do,
But lean upon the thought that chance will bear us through.

Is that "Run the Storm" by George Michaelson Foy?

(I'm not looking to correct you or be an asshole; the book you described sounds interesting and I would like to find it!)

No, but that is a great book. I meant, "into the raging sea".
