I'm just not sure why they are so awesome

I don't work in a LEO job

any job you can get where you carry a gun and go around doing whatever the fuck you want all day

great

fair enough

Just carrying a gun on your hip does not equal job satisfaction

Unless you get off on the projection of power. In which case being a cop is perfect for you.

Fact: if you have a hero complex being a cop isn't the job for you

Seriously cops with hero complexs are the worst cops and they actively try and cull them out at the academy

Have a relative who’s a cop and he’s the most pragmatic and practical dude I know, and so are all the other cop friends he has that I’ve met. No hotshots.

He just picked up an actual murder suspect and watched him confess when they brought him in.

The guy murdered a young girl that everyone was looking for.

I’ve known half a dozen cops, including one who was an.. assistant chief? Like second in command.

The sad reality is that most people are cops for the adrenaline rush.

And when they’ve been doing the job for a while and the rush of a traffic stop no longer does it, they move onto other jobs like SWAT, etc.

It isn’t a job that attracts good people. It is a job that attracts people that are either looking for that rush, or have something to prove. And then people who don’t fall into that mentality are edged out.

There are some good cops, sure. But those are the exception, not the rule.

In any case, might we move onto a discussion of finance?

I've seen something in the price of certain stocks I'm slightly confused about.

Four aerospace company stocks, all of which peaked at the beginning of the year and have been falling ever since. Is this something about the aerospace industry as a whole or are these companies simply not doing well?

If all of them are being effected then its a market issue

I've just realized that Boeing is actually all over the place.

At any rate, it seems the trend is that Aerospace stocks are falling in price.

Well Red, what I'm wondering is also *why.* Why is there such an issue in the first place?

Could be a shift in market trends or with the Tarrifs they might not be profiting as much it really depends on either money or public interest in their product

A quick Google search goes a long way

The entire DOW is down Fire

Understanding economics and the economy is more than just looking at the DOW numbers

It's worth taking the time to learn

I agree, which is why I'm asking. However, y'all have lives of your own, so are there any resources you would suggest I consult when knowledgeable people aren't around?

I learned from local real estate investing groups, and spending a lot of time reading on iTulip.com, but it appears that that site isn't really active any more
