European countries have had aviation industries stretching back to the 1910s. They always had the engineering. But making a good product is not enough. You have to SELL it. No what made Airbus start winning in the 1980s was hiring a former

Not in network is something that I'm facing in my country despite "universal healthcare". You have to go to a website to find out if the hospital or clinic has a contract with your insurance company. But at least emergency ca

What's happening to Boeing isn't really remarkable lots of dinosaur conglomerates rise and fall. I'm just a casual follower but it seems their glory days are from the 60s and 70s and they've been coasting along since the

In my country builders didn't seriously start to consider "insulation" until the 1990s. Gas was cheap so nobody cared. Just turn up that dial! Modern houses and apartments are marvels of engineering though.

It's just racism and colonial thought. The same happened when that Boeing 737 Max in Ethiopia crashed.

It's functionally impossible for Airbus to take over all of Boeing's contracts. Airbus itself has an order backlog in the thousands. They're not REALLY competing with Boeing.

In the history of music performing is how artists made money. The studio album age of the 60s and 70s are the exception not the rule.

That's bullshit. I see drunk students every day. And they are supposed to be the future elites- may God help us all.

The CIA involvement in spreading Christianity through Asia is not something that is talked about enough. It reminded me of the Bene Gesserit.

I always like to talk about how much I hate advertising but when I need a Thai restaurant Google Maps has my back. But I'm also old and remember that the yellow pages used to bring in billions of revenue. Have things really changed on

The UK is not an economic ally of the EU. There's a reason why it takes years to hammer out trade agreements.

Volkswagen got big (it's in the name) with building affordable cars like the Beetle and the Golf. Compact fuel efficient cars that a nurse or teacher could afford.

Considering that the GOP is rehabilitating the Confederacy these days Twain's ties to the Lost Cause might be the only thing that keeps his writings from being removed from school libraries.

I read an interesting article on the Russians programming the cruise missiles that fall on Ukraine. They're former game and software developers drafted into the military.
