VAT is out of equation as it is goes down the flow and is actually paid by end customer only, not the business, not the contractor. Also there are multiple ways to decrease taxation, to write down expenses as cost of business, etc. To be co

US has both: insane credit card rates and bonus rewards (miles, cashback, etc). In EU rewards are shit, and the only reason to keep credit card is to be able to rent a car during summer vacation.

Do you know why it's hard to get national student debt figures for Europe? Credit cards and car loans are also not that popular. PS: if you buy 30k van you are down more than that as you need to get an insurance, gas, parking lot, pay

> Americans are overwhelmingly wealthier than Europeans by every other metric. $1.21 trillion in credit card debt, $1.66 trillion in car loans and $1.6 trillion in federal student loans - yes, Americans are overwhelmingly wealthier.

Are you going to accept such free rider in your team? You will eventually do both your and his tasks but for the same or worse pay. Given you have a fixed budget for the team - do you want to split it more ways? Where can I send a CV?

Phalanx has ammo for 20 seconds of fire. There are multiple different drones. I bet phalanx will do nothing against small 10" drones which can target communications and sensors of the ship in a first wave. And second wave could have mu

Don't agree with that. In near future such huge ships will host swarms of defensive kamikaze drones to protect themselves.

It's not like that. First russians came for Ichkeria and I did nothing because I'm not a Chechen. Then russians came for Georgia and I did nothing because I'm not a Georgian. Then they came for Ukraine...

It is a bluff putin is continuously repeating. Because he knows western countries are eager to bite. Look: at this moment Ukraine is using western arms to occupy part of Russia. What putin did? Same as before occupation. Strategic bombings

Such a Russian narrative. Ukraine had all technical means to keep nukes, to service ICBM. The issue was in budget to do that. Economics was ruined with the collapse of USSR.
