HA HA But then dobwe really know whatvhappens at NOAA? More importantly, among merchant mariners, the 911 on NOAA is that it is the only place that makes Military Sealift Command look good. (Though they are the only agency in the U.S. that still flies a P-3 Orion, so that's cool)

Maybe someone shouldn’t have babbled about how much he hates overtime and would like to see it disappear.

I know somebody else who has two cousins that also tried to overthrow the government on Jan 6.; one committed suicide, the other is preparing for a two-year prison stint and the feckless political press STILL pretty routinely portrays Trump as a serious, viable candidate for political office

Consider, Washington State has some of the highest UI rates in the nation, 999/week, and calculated at 85% of the adverage of the workers two highest quarters over the last 18 months before being laid off Compared to California's 470/week

I understand that, just giving a subtle hint of cutting production given the Ukraine/Russia ongoing situation that could impact oil/gas supplies to Europe over the winter means there is an opportunity for certain players in the region to gain a bit more political leverage, not in support of Iran.

Saudi Arabia would like nothing more than to see Iran crushed. And the Yemeni government and Saudi Arabia have been allies in a war against the Houthi for some time.

Or mansions, exclusive golf courses, ski resorts, and canned hunting clubs in national parks. Probably national grasslands too. That would really screw ranchers.

The term merchant marine refers to private industry. It is not a government agency or branch of the military. Flag state of a merchant ship refers to the country the ship is registered in, not the nationality of the owners.

OK... It is merchant ship, not cargo ship, (unless referring to a ship of state) The people who work on merchant ships are called merchant mariners or merchant seafarers (merchant seaman is gendered) The merchant marine is the industry merchant mariners work in. There is no s on merchant marine
