Not so good
Boeing 737 Max 8 pilots complained to feds for months about suspected safety flaw
Pilots repeatedly voiced safety concerns about the Boeing 737 Max 8 to federal authorities, with one captain calling the flight manual “inadequate and almost criminally insufficient” several months before Sunday’s Ethiopian Air crash that killed 157 people, an investigation by The Dallas Morning News found.
The News found at least five complaints about the Boeing model in a federal database where pilots can voluntarily report about aviation incidents without fear of repercussions.
The complaints are about the safety mechanism cited in preliminary reports for an October plane crash in Indonesia that killed 189.
The disclosures found by The News reference problems during Boeing 737 Max 8 flights with an autopilot system, and they all occurred while trying to gain altitude during takeoff — many mentioned the plane turning nose down suddenly. While records show these flights occurred during October and November, the information about which airlines the pilots were flying for is redacted from the database.
Records show a captain who flies the Max 8 complained in November that it was “unconscionable” that the company and federal authorities allowed pilots to fly the planes without adequate training or fully disclosing information about how its systems were different from other planes.
The captain’s complaint was logged after the FAA released an emergency airworthiness directive about the Boeing 737 Max 8 in response to the crash of Lion Air Flight 610 in Indonesia.

Its the worse idea possible ! millions of dollars in the richest Salmon producing area in the world .There no such thing as “fail safe”tailings dam..The tailings would be there long after the mine is mines out.There is more money to be made in Salmon in the next hundred years then that mine will ever produce.Its the worst possible place to build a mine period.and any failures would shut down the whole mining business forever .The lobyists hired were Democrats former Senator William Cohen .The lobby money was spread to both Democrats and Republicans ,the worst combination of crooks taking bribe money ever.Its the worst disaster pending that will destroy the whole mining industry.Pebbles mine is the worst mining idea ever ! .Give it to the locals to pan and dont ever make a large scale cyanide process there. Im a mining advocate and have 100 % of my investments tied up in mining,,,but this is a bad idea !

I’m scared to short stocks like Facebook. In a normal world … sure, but this isn’t a normal world and I’m wary of that gosh darn magic hand which distorts all the prices.
Until it doesn’t.

I look at there problems as a short opportunity, at some point soon.
I have never used Faceplant and never will, just don’t see the need, plus they are as bad as everyone says they are.

JNUG is above some significant resistance . A close here would be a good sign.

Afford me not: Soaring bride prices in China should be curbed, says parliament delegate
BEIJING (Reuters) – Runaway “bride prices” are making marriage unaffordable in rural China and need to be capped, and professional matchmakers should be stopped from overcharging, says a village delegate to China’s parliament.

If they go belly up that won’t bother me in the least. Beyond gathering info for the alphabet agencies, people who spend the most time there are prone to mental illness. Count me out … and happy to be so.

Faceplant may have a huge problem….they are under massive scrutiny over their content and from what I see Algo’s can’t do it, so they have to employ people and that is going to hurt their bottom line big time…plus they ain’t cool with kids and the whole world hates Zuckerberg….
I guess as time goes by the truth will become known …

Zero hedge just another chopping block. People only need to remember a few words in this pc scam that’s going around for socialism.
That people who come here or promote hate of our language,our individuality and constitutional laws and flag for unconstitutional laws is not diversity it’s adversity.
Ipso – “ZuckerGoebbels!” – I like it!
I need my daily dose of Zero Hedge, and I always like it when they step on some toes and speak truth to power. I figured it was only a matter of time before TPTB try to shut them up.
