That sounds really bad, and I can only wish you good luck with dealing with the whole parasite class in your country. I was only pointing out that having a 90 billion euro contract stolen by another party is always going to cause some bad blood, and that such a thing is in fact not unreasonable. Apparently it was much further along than a few weeks as well. As more news comes out I see total valuations from 30 to 90 billion, and apparently the contract was running for a few years already. It also seems to include much more than submarines, so this is apparently the US and UK just giving Australia money to oust the French. Funny(?) story: years ago I was working on a piece of software for a medium-sized space agency, and the French government sent a government minister to tell them to buy a French alternative instead. They laughed in his face and are still using mine, but the simple fact that they had the gall to do this rankles. So on a personal level I very much applaud anyone sticking it to the French and their insane drive for empire, but even so I do recognize that tearing up a 90 billion contract is always going to be a problem, no matter what. Also, next time someone posts here that we should really give up on meat and flying "because the planet", I'll refer them to the Australians who are apparently uselessly shipping gas back and forth across the ocean... Fix that kind of BS first before bothering the rest of us.
