Not on the table, but it is well past time it was. General aviation continues to be choked to death because it is used as a conveyor into airline employment instead of something that should be available to all Americans. You want to be an airline pilot. Cool, class three toβ¦
Mosaic is going to change everything. Unexpectedly, pilots will be able to fly most Cirrus, Diamond, Tecnam, and Cessna single engine aircraft under sport pilot rules.

Trump says completed trade deal with Japan: "will pay Reciprocal Tariffs to the United States of 15%", "will open their Country to Trade including Cars and Trucks, Rice and certain other Agricultural Products, and other things."
The United States just announced a new trade deal with Japan. Japan will invest $550 billion in America and they will also pay a reciprocal tariff of 15% to the US. Crazy.

All the best entrepreneurs are the opposite of perfectionists. They get shit done fast and ask questions later. They write emails fast. They talk fast. They walk fast. They make decisions fast. It compounds and they get good at working fast. Leading to exceptionalβ¦
