Just do what they did with the USS Oriskany. remove all toxic items, which they have to do anyway, and sink it into an artificial reef. cost cut, fish get home, divers get a cool site to see.

Better yet, remove all toxic items (esp those reactors) and use it for a SinkEx. We don't have real-world data on how a modern super carrier would handle various modern AShMs, GPS guided rockets, cruise missiles, and torpedoes. This could be a unique opportunity.

the fact it was nuclear powered i think makes that way more complex technically, and probably legally too.

And we can always thank the 2nd Amendment, nearly half of all suicides were caused by firearms.

That's why I plan to die suddenly and in a massive heart attack. Poutine FTW!

The problem with this plan is when you survive and end up with bad health, extreme debt, or both...

Oh I won't survive. I'm not making 70, so I don't care about debt either

How can you be so sure? What do you have in place to euthanize your ass should you have a massive stroke that turns you into a zombie wearing a diaper, living till the ripe old age of 90 in a low rent nursing home.

Thanks GOP for denying Americans access to assisted suicide and affordable health care. Vote Democrat, it's easier than you think.

Keep the hate and butthurt flowing. Still funny as hell.

Still waiting for those nukes Redeye9 ;-)

26,392 (todays close) / 18,259.60 (nov 8th 2016 election night close) = 145%

so it is up 45%, not 32% since election.

not checking the rest

The economic indicators have never been good indicators for quality of life.

The only thing it means, most of the time since the neoliberal policies have been put in place decades ago and applied by every administration ever since, both by republicrats and demopublicans ( and failed since then to do anything it promised to the wage slaves, but fulfilled almost every promise to the plutocrats/oligarchs/rich fucks/hoarders/corporate welfare queens ( that I.M.C. budget among others... ) ), is increased inequality, so more public health problems, more poors, poorer poors and more hoarding by richer rich fucks.

Stop drinking the voodoo economics trickle down urine kool-aid kids, it's bad for you.
