Our team sailed our project into rough waters. For some reason one team member absolutely could not understand why we needed to steer the bow of our ship into the waves. Despite every educational effort she kept insisting that we needed to take the waves broadside.

Then, one day she tried to grab hold of the helm. So, I wrapped my arms around her as tight as I could, told her we’d die together, and jumped off the fucking boat.

An authoritarian, controlled economy will fail. We don’t need any more examples to understand why.

Halfway decent comment so adding more:

The emergency descent altitude is almost always 10,000 feet. This is because most people will be able to breath without the oxygen mask at this altitude. But, do not take off your mask.

They do not descend lower because, succinctly, what if all engine power is lost? If that happens then the pilots want enough altitude to have enough time to try and restart the engines and, failing engine restart, to extend gliding range in effort to maximize choices of where to land.

Qualifications: expired VFR license (not a commercial pilot)

One does not simply BBQ a burger. Its golden buns require much more than just sauce. There is flavor there that never fails and Persephone is ever watchful. It is a grilled patty riddled with seasoning, and buns and the works … the very air you smell is a wonderful delight. Only with two strips of bacon and a slice of sharp cheddar can you do this. Else it is folly.

Capitalism and socialism are the same thing.

You should probably ask more questions and make less statements.

All the companies that don’t care about this have much less costs. Thus the companies that don’t care about morality can offer lower prices

Non sequitur. You forgot that the “cost” of satisfying stockholders is far more than the cost of labor even if wages are doubled.

have decided the benefits outweigh the extra cost

You’ve no experience but assign merit to more than an ideology of comprehensive amenities.

The first thing we’ll do with it is take it up into Canada to do some university tours. Optimally we’ll be able to dry camp at worst in between visits.

The learning trip is international, urban, and boondock all at once.

We already practically live out of a suitcase anyways, the apartment is just a big storage for all our junk.

But, the “junk” is still present.

Did you have any specific SUV suggestions that would work alternatively?

Suburban 3/4 ton with the 6.0L and not VVT 2019. If you want reliability then the Cummins 6.7L diesel isn’t for you because you’re too focused on externally-sourced convenience. The GM 3.0L diesel isn’t for you because it’s too new for reliability studies. Your only choice is a Tundra.

This appears to be an undersized, overpriced first trailer. The exact same goes for the tow vehicles, which aren’t even truck-based SUVs.

But, there’s not much more to say because you’ve not stated why you made your choices.

To be fair, trump was a candidate / forner president at the time, not the sitting president nor president-elect.

Red herring.

The USSS probably just let their guard down and didn’t expect anyone to try anything.

Minimization.

Ad hominem is usually next. But, you instead could choose to answer the question in good faith.
