    I guess we can go back to losing our minds over gas stoves now.

    I have to admit that this one I just don't get. I mean you'd have to believe that this thing had some kind of self destruct or emergency-descend on it. Right? So the Chinese govt was probably just doing it to see our reaction/decision making structure. I don't know much about these things but I'm guessing there isn't a hell of a lot that this balloon sees that all of those expensive satellites wouldn't see.

    Maybe I'm just naive, but if I were POTUS I'd have just called Xi up and told him we were going to take it out. Had a good laugh about how these things work out and invite him for dinner at one of those fancy steak houses in DC.

    Will
