I am deeply saddened by today’s Supreme Court ruling in the Grants Pass case. At a time when there is a severe nationwide shortage of affordable housing, we should be working towards solutions that provide support and shelter, not further marginalizing vulnerable populations.

I'm not a pilot but I have to imagine that you have to be an absolute BADASS to skim the water in what is basically a flying tank, over and over all day long, and do it with the accuracy it takes to scoop up 1,000+ gallons of water and not have an accident.
