In addition to making big flying things that don't seem to be as good as they were before the MD camel-fucking merger, Boeing is also a strategic defense contractor making the company TBTF. Hell, the Obama DOJ ran press interference c

All high income earners beyond a certain amount (on a graduated scale) should be required to found a new city and pay much higher taxes. Also needed: UBI because around a hundred million Americans are being shut out and left behind.

If you can tolerate a state run by Mormons, SLC is chill and active. I'd sooner live in Denver. I went through Colorado Springs but it had California-like homeless issues.

In the middle of nowhere, it's mostly sociopolitical where dumb money vies to belong to some trend or near celebrities. If you're not already absurdly rich, then trying to play that game is a fool's errand.

It's the SF effect that creates expensive hipster ghettos of dumb money chasing stupid money. Just move anywhere else with good climate, low pollution, good walkability/short commutes, relatively low risks, and access to major med

Wow. Education in the US is turning into an even bigger joke, making cheating effortless, and minimizing cognitive exercise of fluid and crystalized intellect. Nothing can or should replace tests or writing on paper and a (cleared) HP 4x be

No. Apples vs. oranges. While UA lacks IFVs, they first need main battle tanks. IFVs without MBTs doesn't comprise a survivable mixed combat element. Main battle tanks with troops with AGTMs is a starting point, IFVs would enhance thei

Yep. And the so-called "aid to Ukraine", 80% of it would be spent within the US on current stockpiles and new equipment. It's curious that the US military-industrial complex isn't falling all over itself attempting to se

Stalin called artillery the god of war. Ranged surface-to-surface weapons are the antithesis of close combat, and whoever has the systems with the highest range and military effectiveness can clear the way ahead of physical occupation until

While locally-managed, tailored efforts are better than central planning, social security functions need federal support to spread the costs evenly. Rather than pouring billions into militarized repression or untested pipedreams, housing sh

Godwin's law invoked. IBM is now just another hollowed-out, shitty megacorp that decided to screw over long-term employees out of 401(k) matching. The 2 ways out of corporate serfdom are unionization and employee-owned co-ops. https:&

That's how I would do it without remote cutters, a small shaped charge, or thermite. Fall direction will be completely out of control, so it would be worth being close to the tower to reach a safe area.
