RedState's WaterCooler! 3 October 2017 - Open Thread

Something to talk about…

There’s been talk around the Watercooler that some in the RedState Community might like a safe space (not in a weird “Snowflake” way) to just hang out and chat without any suggested topics provided.

Tuesday’s from henceforth will be the place to talk about anything that interests you. Yeah, I know, “isn’t that what the WC is about anyway?” It is. However, some in the Community still find the air too stuffy. Plus, do be aware that our Editor-in-Chief and other Senior Contributors drop in for a peek so if you have site suggestions, or general feedback, Tuesday’s starting at 12 pm EST, will be a good place to do it.

Oh, and did I mention that our Editor-in-Chief and Mods drop in for a peek, so please play nice.

Conversation starters

And the Nobel Prize in Physics is awarded to…Rainer Weiss, Barry Barish, and Kip Thorne, three American physicists who proved something really extraordinary!
Because America is the most awesome country in the Universe…Three more Americans win the Nobel Prize in Medicine for proving why I need more sleep. “Jeffrey C Hall, Michael Rosbash and Michael W Young were given their award for understanding the mysteries of how life tracks time and changes itself according to the movement of the sun.” – The Independent
Wondering what General Aviation (the little guy) thinks about ATC Privatization? It’s easy to applaud vigorously something that has little to no chance of affecting you. Take a second to hear an argument from the other side.
Still, not convinced? “ATC Privatization would add almost $100 billion to the deficit. Congressional Budget Office increases cost estimate of 21st Century AIRR Act.”
Sorry…but, I just can’t let this one go: “Leading Conservative Group Speaks Out Against So-Called ATC Privatization”
