The overlap between space rockets and aircraft engines and airliners either zero so. Also, Boeing isn't buildong aircraft engines.

Delivery slot allocation is bit more complex than deviding order book by monthly deliveries. Also, custumers cancel orders, freeing up delivery slots for other airlines. The A320 order book is approaching ten years so, and wont decrease wit

And Northrop-Gruman. The overlap in the protfolio of those three is limited is limited so.

When I read up recently on the KC-46 bidding, I found a quote from an Airbus exec at the time saying Airbus won't bid in the second round, because Boeing's offer was too aggressive. I guess being burned once, with the A400M, was a

Yeah, I know. A lot of countries with much less resources and wealth than the EU host a lot more people. Which commendable. And shows that it is purely a lack of pilotical will on behalf of the EU to do more. And still Erdogan used refugees

And then people wonder why stuff like the 737 Max happen. Hint, it is not just MBAs and bean counters...

Since a car obviously is a car and not a boat, the safer car, obviously. And regarding process, amphibious cars already existed in the 70s. Not sure if that is still within Musks SF fantasy timeline or not. Also, Flying Cars !

It is our fault to conduct illegal pushbacks, hinder search and rescue and generally not extend the basic rule of saving people in distress at sea to migrants. Yes, it absolutely is. And it is bad looks, when the human rights and democracy

Companies have an obligation to sell safe products. There are even laws in place for that. Not doing so can even become pretty expensive in the US I am told.

Clean cuts are easier to sew on again. And they make for prettier scars.

Moral imperative? Same as anyone else, human rights and human decency. If you want to close your borders with an agressive neighbor, by all means do so. Just don't call refugees a threat to national security if the only reason refugees

If ypu are really unlucky, I have seen broken fingers. Amputations shouldn't happen so outside of serious accidents, and even then they should be extremely rare.

To quote another war that started at the Balkans: The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 trigger World War 1. Factually correct, but missing a ton context, up to the point that small bit of information is basically useless in

Smaller companies treat employees different, to an extent. Because in the end, regardless of company size, the owners expect a return of their investment. In case of owner-managed companies even more so. To everyone their poison so, I guess

Never would I oppose someones right to defence, I give the right to Russia, Israel, NATO, Palestinians, you name it. And I explicitly calles out the EUs failure to come up with a workable plan how to handle refugees across all 27, and forme

One could also say, that Finlands refusal to take the refugees in, and the EUs failure to come up with a slotion for migration ans refugees that doesn't involve letting people drown for ten years, enable Russia to use refugees. Hence,

So, you see migrants as a threat to national security. On par with a Russian invasion? Just asking, because shooting at unarmed people at the border is something people are discussing at the moment, something I cannot put my disgust for in

Only Sith deal in extremes, there is quite a large field between seeing immigrants as a blessing and seeing them as a national security risk. People holding the latter opinion usually come from a certain political leaning so, one that sees

The gold standard was, partially, abondonned due to the Vietnam War in 1971. German hyper ibflation, read up on it, it was hilariously bad, happened in the 1920s. So, inflation under the gold standard was even worse than under fiat at times

From my limited understanding of how nationap debt works, it also matters a lot whom the money is owned to. If it is mainly citizens of said country, the situation is very different from foreign investors holding the bonds. Just ask Greece

Reducing the Balkan Wars to a single referendum in a single country is so simplistic, I'd even call it ignorant. But since you are on the journey of learning about all of this, continue. Use Wikipedia for startes, and not some other so

You do know, that a simple border closure wouldn't do anything anything against a Russian invasion?

I read this paragraph >> lets examine a recent large crisis we had in Finland - the border crisis, in which Russia systematically weaponized migrant waves - where the democratically elected government was initially unable to act with

EU lobbying isn't any worse than other political lobbying, both of which are bad. What the EU does so, is managing to get 27 nations to work on compromises. And it does so quite well, sometimes better and sometimes not. That, obviously

So, you basically want an authoritarian government that does something against immigrants? And somehow, you think that would be democratic?

by hef19898 3y ago
As did capitalist strike breakers.

Basically every official function in the EU is either directly voted for (not the EUs fault if people don't vote) or nominated by someone democratically elected. If you don't see the difference between a truely authoritarian regim
