I believe Mahousu is referring to "the black guy did it" problem. As in Dump despises BHO with such a lamentable (and psychotic) passion that he refuses to make use of anything he did. And destroys it if he can.

James Lee Burke. I love the way he lards his superb detective novels with profound insights into far-right idiots. From Crusader's Cross:QUESTION: What can dumb and fearful people always be counted on to do?ANSWER: Try to control and manipulate everyone in their environment.QUESTION: What is the tactic used by these same dumb people as they try to control others?ANSWER: They lie.

Tuscaloosa libelz! (I have friends there, one late 90s, the other 60s with compromised lung function... worried about them).

But he's not upset with Boeing getting $17 billion to prevent them from going bankrupt. Even though everything that happened to them was a result of bad management decisions. They lost their way when they stopped being an engineering company and became a management company. And when I say management I mean increasing profitability. Order parts from China, cut wages, cut corners. reduce testing and eventually put a plane in the air that is simply unable to fly without special software. Kill hundreds of people in the process and then behave as if it's the pilots faults. They brought this on themselves and the FAA helped.

I understand we probably want to save our only large plane manufacturer but there should be rules and requirements placed so we don't have to bail them out again.
