...more politics than it is cost. The FAA is a rule-making agency. When you've got to do rule-making, politics get involved, and then it's hard to decide which equipment, whose company gets mandated, etc. And it's not necessarily just the lawmakers that complicate the process, but all the stakeholders: the airlines, general aviation, corporate aviation and then the government's air traffic control.

...labor dispute a couple of years ago that has now transitioned into a safety issue. The FAA had a mandate from Congress to start running things like a business, to be more cost-effective.

The result is a 300% to 400% increase in operational errors. Listen, this is a great job and I will...
...forgetting the catchy chorus is flawlessly put together to poke fun at the predictable structure of celebrity collaboration records.

Roughly 75 to 95 percent of that food is lost to animal metabolism or the growth of inedible cells (hair, bones, etc). This high energy-cost method of producing meat cannot continue to supply food—especially for a global population that the U.S. Census Bureau estimates to reach 9.3 billion persons by 2050. If the level of affluence and food security is to be maintained, then a new strategy to supply the world?...
