I don't think a flight has ever had a crowd crush event.

The largest passenger plane is an Airbus A380 with a typical passenger capacity of 575. And that's split between two decks. Most crowd crush events involve twice that amount of people all heading the same direction while the people in front have nowhere to go. And most crowd crush events are a result of building code violations such as emergency exits that open inwards.

Planes don't really allow for crowd crushes to happen. Every person would have to be trying to get to the same emergency exit at the front of the plane, and if you're mid flight why would anybody be trying to get to any exit?

Just stay in your seat and it's highly improbable to be crushed to death.

The picture is from old footage of a nuclear bomb test. The long shadow is cast by the flash of the explosion and this is right before the shockwave hits and levels the house.

Since individuals aren't 501(c)3 non-profits it wouldnt be tax deductible and is treated by the IRS as a gift, so a gift tax may apply depending on amount given. Just in case you were curious as to why it's not a tax write-off.

Right so then couldn't it follow that human survivors may have no impact on their gut bacteria? If there are only two people and their microbiomes, and the snap kills 1 person and their entire microbiome, then the surviving person would have no or microscopically small impact on their bacteria assuming an even distribution of bacteria across the two people. Basically the OOP is assuming that of the people that died, half of their bacteria would survive, impacting survivors' microbiomes, rather than assuming 100% of bacteria would die with their hosts, leaving the surviving population's bacteria intact.

How long can gut microbiomes survive after the host is dead? Wouldn't a dead host essentially mean near 100% fatality for the gut microbiome meaning that anybody killed by a Thanos snap would also mean a 100% kill rate of their gut bacteria, leaving any survivors to basically keep all 100% of their gut bacteria?

I think they don't see it because the people who support Trump and see him as a harbinger of prosperity are the same people who take the Bible at face value and are already of the belief that should the Rapture come tomorrow, they certainly won't be left below.

They believe in the wrathful God of the Old Testament, they are fundamentalists and they are a far cry from what good Christians can be. Should Jesus come tomorrow, these people would have him lynched as a pinko liberal, labeling him the antichrist.

They're not Christian because they have read the Bible and learned to love thy neighbor and become a righteous person, they are Christian because they have been told a lake of hellfire awaits those who don't accept Jesus and they were indoctrinated into the religion of Revelations. They've been fed the cherry-picked apples of knowledge by pastors with agendas and never challenged the version of God they were given.

Trumps persecution by the state and mainstream politics fuels this fire. Surely if he were the antichrist he would not have been challenged by the DOJ and "anti-christian" liberals. In their minds, his path to the white house, as a leader of men, parallels Jesus.

Because he retired from the show in 2015. Hence why he's only coming back part time. It was his choice to leave the first time, so that's probably why he was the last one to reach out to.

Only increased taxes on the amount in the next bracket. If they're making 110k a year, only about 10k will be taxed at the 24% rate. Everything else stays the same.

Lamar is great. Not the type to rap about money, women and getting fucked up. I'd recommend mAAd City, DNA., HUMBLE. to start with. I'm not big into rap, but Kendrick is great.
