I would guess that the part list of the F-35 isn't publicly available but this sort of implies someone who worked on the design of that airplane chose an alloy or a part knowing that it 100% depends on something that's only availa

Apologies for not being that familiar. Why not like China? Because it got there via a revolution? But otherwise the same end goal just via democratic means? What you're describing sounds like the USSR or China to me. The survey didn&#x

I like the quote and I think this can work. The problem is the timescales can drive you crazy. The other problem is sometimes crisis is ignored, i.e. there is a crisis but it's not acknowledged or is somehow otherwise normalized.

I agree with this. That's been my take throughput my pretty long career and was a recipe for success. You still need to: 1. Be good at what you do. 2. Be good at politics/communication when that's needed. 3. Be in an organiza

This is the equivalent of "some of my best friends are Jews". So the Satmar anti-Zionist Jews are ok? But the other Jews? Also met with love? Do you love the Jews that have opinions that differ than yours on this conflict? Why do

If that solved the problem I would endorse it. I don't see how it does or how you do it. How do you get food to all of Gaza while there is raging fighting? The biggest problem is in Gaza city where there is intense fighting. The southe

So what would you do if you're Israel? Suck it up? Leave the hostages to rot in Gaza? Wait until the next coordinated attack from Iran, Lebanon, Syria, the West Bank and Gaza? Israel's enemies want it destroyed- that's what&#

But really you're answering your own question. The economy is not a zero sum game- It adapts. Why do our current jobs exist? Because somebody is paying for what we produce. Then we take our pay and buy what other people produce. There
