Do you know why most talk radio stations don't take calls anymore more live discussion?

If a host says General Beef is good, does he actually have to have tried it and think it is good?

Here in Los Angeles, there is a guy named Mike Dimond who advertises on radio. He was trained by George Brazil. The guy is actually a bit of a mystery, known for selling other plumbers specialized high pressure sales systems like Plumbing2000. He makes fun of other plumbers, which makes me think they might not accept him if he were to go to a plumbing convention, but at the same time he sells to them. Almost reminds me of Wally George and his moralizing while having strippers advertising.

Does anyone here know more about this guy?

Why can't we just take control of it and hold it? The american people are taxed in order to fund the military , and we're all suffering right now from higher prices. Why can't we get some return on investment?

Location: CA. does this impact Joint Employer Liability across the country?

Economics in modern times is about exchange. You have this and they have that. What is the best way to trade? It used to be coffee beans as currency, now it is paper, backed by the faith and credit of a sovereign country.

The problem we have today in my view is economics is also a game. But it is not a game where winners start over. Winners get to keep playing. They get to give their game resources and tokens to their kids. Their kids then win, and their kids win, and so it goes until someone screws it up. Today we have kids who have grown up, like Elon, who have so much advantage in the game that nobody has a chance to beat him, at least not without five natural 20 dice rolls. The game needs to be reset. The rules need to be discussed again. And we need to get away from the fact that even though there are no more kings and queens (except for ceremony), the feudal system lives on through the power that cold hard cash has in forcing people to do things for rich people that they would rather not do.

I spent about 4 years in foster care, in group homes and with families. Spoiler alert: as a white guy, I found out quickly how racist the system is against people of color.

My important principles: admit when you are wrong, seek to understand, talk it out and don't be afraid to say you don't know.

Trivia is my jam!

Looking for feedback on this possible church. Good, bad or indifferent. How evangelical are they? How flexible? Thanks.

I'm just wondering if some sort of social media cash mob couldn't impact things. And before anyone tells me it's impossible , look at what's happened with scientology and spirit airlines.

What affinity gaming actually be angry if we started making primm popular?

Since they're closing down , what's the incentive to be loose? It's not like affinity gaming has a big brand identity.

I have amassed to great deal of knowledge and experience during my life. I was a foster kid.I worked for a major theme park.I loaded trucks for UPS and i've been in the transportation industry for decades.

I know a lot about aviation.True crime trains video games , cars and history , and much more.

However , I will tell you the most important three words that a so called smart person can ever tell you: I dont know. If I don't know I won't make it up.

As an outsider from southern california , it fascinates me and saddens me , frankly to see how dismissive people in Vegas are of Primm.

Primm was a big part of my 20s. We were lower middle class, sometimes actual middle class.But Primm always treated us more kindly than the big casinos , both by affordability and actual attitude.

Plus it had the rollercoaster, the log ride.And since we were theme park type people , we appreciated this too.

So what is the actual reputation of primm among people in las vegas? Could it be disliked because it's trying to undercut union jobs? Is it just thought to be low rent and poor quality?

I've always appreciated the people of las vegas and I thank you for answering my question.

The hard truth for me is that i think we're like any other animal that we observe. We have used every tool in existence to try to validate the idea that there's something like a soul. Despite millions and millions of cameras , there are there is no physical evidence that is compelling enough that there are paranormal beings. The recent u f o sighting files is a minor exception.

Every religion thinks they are correct, but they cannot all possibly be correct. The so called god tolerates things like childhood cancer and being mauled to death by pit bulls.

I can go on all day, but the bottom line is.I don't believe it because there is no evidence. I think we die , and we become worms , and that's it.

I didn't have a dad in my life, so there's a part of me.It's always wanted to be led. Unfortunately for me and my relaxation , I developed a big interest in nonfiction and have read tons of books. Doing so has made me irredeemably logical. So I have to accept my brain's conclusion even though the answer is very nihilistic and depressing.

Arrrrghh!!

Everyone thinks they know the story of Sky King, Richard “Beebo” Russell, a Horizon Air (Alaska Air Contractor) ground service agent who stole a commuter aircraft (Bombardier Q400) from Seatle-Tacoma Airport on August 10, 2018. To recap, he single handedly stole the aircraft, took off with the brakes still on, went for a 75 minute joyride, did a barrel roll, and then crashed into a wooded island. He famously said that he was just a “broken guy.” Who also messaged his wife, telling her that “she deserved better.”

The FBI investigated the incident, issuing a 561-page document. It found no clear motive. The narrative that has been widely accepted, and this was continued by his family during the #SkyKing documentary on Hulu, was that he was a broken guy, who did not feel he was paid properly for the work that he was doing, and decided to steal the plane. This always seemed suspicious to me and others. It seemed like something significant was missing.

Richard’s wife Hannah Russel of Sumner, Washington, did not participate in the documentary. Nor did any of her family. It is known that the couple closed their bakery in North Bend, Oregon and moved closer to Hannah’s family in Sumner. Richard went from being a respected business owner who made tasty treats, to loading aircraft on the tarmac, which is known to be a brutal job at times. Low pay and exhaustion are common features, as is a lack of respect. Her family did not participate either. It is big black hole on that side of the family.

What I did note from both the documentary and my research into Beebo is that he was conservative and religious as was she. They met at Campus Crusade for Christ now CRU. He left a scholarship at a college because they were not conservative enough. Assemblies of God is big in the Sumner area. In short, it is very clear that religion, specifically evangelical Christianity, was a big part of their married life.

The FBI, which at the time was slanted heavily towards being aggressively pro-traditional values, DID NOT ASK ABOUT THE POTENTIAL IMPACT OF CHRISTANITY ON HIS MENTAL STATE. We know that if he was Muslim, the feds would have drilled to the center of the earth regarding the influence of the faith community, but this aspect of things remains unexplored. I am trying to look into this now and I have some experience digging into things like this.

Here are the questions as I see them:

1.  We know that the types of Christianity that they were heavily involved in teach a faith-first approach to mental health. Did this atmosphere prevent Beebo from seeking help, especially since he was faith leader at times and would not want to appear weak in front of those he was mentoring?
   

2.  Did Hannah and/or her family make him feel like a failure as a man? If so, has it caused them to question their actions and reevaluate faith?
   

My intent is not to drag Hannah through the mud for kicks, but to have her properly honor him by speaking so that we can learn if faith had anything to do with this so that others within the faith who are hurting can seek assistance from professionals instead of just praying to what can at times feel like a detached and indifferent God.

“If you just had more faith, then your mental health struggles would fade away.” The Biblical Counseling Center reports is the mentality among many faith groups.

“Research frequently indicates that enduring conventional masculine norms, such as being strong, successful, independent, in charge, and capable... is a key contributor to men’s aversion to help-seeking behavior when it comes to depression,” National Institutes of Health.
