This assertion is interesting.. Even before inflation, the Seawolf cost per unit was higher than 774, and it was nearly double in inflation-adjusted terms. You could argue that the Block V VAs are closer to catching up, but at this point i

Once again, I am in almost complete agreement; I am the last person to defend popular US American messaging about love and match-making. It is mostly fanciful lies, and telling young people how you wish things were does not prepare them f

I agree with your first paragraph. But you are discounting the rarity of productive labor and the value of R&D. Yes, we have serious vices in the US with our spending on frivolous pursuits, but at the same time we're doing incredib

Part of the problem is defining your threat model. For example, if you're trying to avoid surveillance dragnets like geofence warrants, that can reasonably done by GrapheneOS+prepaid service+ cash-bought phone, combined with keeping yo

Sorry, I missed your comment. To answer your first question, a significant amount of RCS for a capable commercial radar, not least of all because it is rounded for hydrodynamics, which is a terrible shape for minimizing RCS. Second, I sho

First, you can look at "true tax rate", which has nothing to do with how taxes are calculated (as described in your linked article). .98% sounds like he paid just under 1 billion on 4.22 billion of reported income (or just under 2
