Trade unions were particularly powerful in the 1970s, and were able to leverage an escalating series of concessions from government that were simply unsustainable at any time, let alone during economic crisis.

It's fascinating for the stuff for common people is always "unsustainable," but there's always money for people who already have money.

Enough murder will.

But I'm willing to try taxation first, if they are.

If you can afford a private aircraft, you can afford to pay some fucking taxes.

That was what my mind supplied.

Honestly, at that point, I think you let him have it.

If this isn't a warcrime, it probably should be. Depriving civilians of water is in no way proportionate to the loss of a single aircraft with no fatalities.

Or maybe tax the rich? They have money. They just don't want to use it.

But he tries not to, so that's worth a few points.

Loved that line so much.

But it wasn't entirely true, was it?

You make some good points, but I don't want discipline out of her. She was a good captain, particularly for an environment that is supposed to produce Starfleet Officers.

She just needs some decorum.

My only issue with Academy was the presence of a captain who refused to act like an officer. Stand up straight, put on your boots, sit in the chair like a normal human.

Other than that, I loved it.

No, that's just me being stupid.
