I'm curious what the FAA is communcating via Verizon (or Starlink).  Flight plans?  Tower/ATC/Center comms are by radio.
Verizon was awarded a $2.4 billion contract in 2023 under the Biden administration to build the FAA a next generation WAN network. Network FAA had been running on was from 2001. So...pretty outdated.

The measles vaccine is good.  It's good for children, it's good for the country.  I have no idea why anyone would be stupid enough to attempt to politicize it.

Historically the hippy dippies on the far left have been far more resistant to vaccines than anyone on the far right.  What a weird world we live in.
everything is politicized these days. I blame the media to a large degree, always trying to fear monger.

See, it's lines like this that make me distrust everything else said which I might not already know about.  If I don't know about something and don't have an opinion, I can't readily accept someone else's take when something I do know about is so off base. 
How do you mean that? (To be clear, any of that post is sort of the product of message board leapfrogging. I had no real interest in dealing with most of that)

Wow, the 50% fatality rate in 48 hours gets your attention.  Maybe too fast and fatal to spread far?
