I think the nature of peer warfare is about to change drastically.
Folks in the west have been busy fighting folks with little to no actual modern weapons & felt a bit too confident.
People. You do not recover from this.

This goes back waaaaay further than that. McDonnell Douglas decided to change their business to literally outsource all of the parts to other companies, and just assemble the final product - like they're building iPhones.
When Boeing purchased McDonnell Douglas in 1997, pretty much the entire board of McDD ended up on the board of Boeing, and the existing Boeing board was pushed out. The joke at the time was that McDonnell Douglas bought Boeing with Boeing's money.
When they merged, the McDD philosophy then got applied to Boeing - outsource everything and just assemble the final product. They even did product launches for the 787 with an empty Chassis that had ply-wood components. They no longer designed everything in-house like they did prior, and they opened up East Coast factories in the Carolinas to hire people at minimum wage. They also moved the Headquarters from Seattle to Chicago - where they build nothing, so the management weren't even in the same state as the manufacturing - let alone the same building.
The goal was no longer to build the 'best' and 'safest' aircraft, it was to build the cheapest aircraft using the lowest cost vendors. This is the opposite of Airbus who function more like a jobs program with different parts of aircraft built in specialist factories across Europe that only make Airbus parts, with aircraft assembled in Toulouse. They were able to design and build better planes faster than Boeing could.
The 737 Max issue wasn't even because Poos did the code, it was because they had a single pitot tube input, with no redundancy. They knew about this failure point and sold the airplanes anyway. They also charged extra for specific warning lights and gave no ability for Pilots to override the MCAS software. They didn't even tell the pilots that the MCAS software existed.

Joe Biden goes into a deranged rant calling Donald Trump a "loser" and "fairy tale villain", then likens himself to George Washington, as he gives a speech near the hallowed ground where the Continental Army made their winter quarters in 1777-1778, a terrible time for the army where a large number of Patriot soldiers died of frostbite or illness.

President Biden derided former President Donald Trump as a “loser” and called his bid for a political comeback something out of a “bad fairy tale” Friday.

Mike Sadler, last of the wartime SAS ‘Originals’ and their principal navigator – obituary
Mike Sadler, who has died aged 103, was a former MI6 officer and an honorary member of “the Originals”, as men of L Detachment of the early SAS are known. He was believed to be the last survivor of the Long Range Desert Group or LRDG, without which the fledgling SAS might not have thrived. He...
When I was growing up (Seattle native, born and raised), part of our family's income was derived from my Mother's Boeing paycheck.
You're not wrong on any of this. The 737 MAX debacle was a complete fuckup. I've ridden on some Airbus A350's recently. Very nice airplanes........
IIRC, There were TWO crashes of 37's in Africa due to MCAS and I think ALL souls on board both flights were lost. Inexcusable.

The military is much better off without Lord Austin around to screw it up.
A word to the wise. Don't sit in this seat.

Boeing said in a statement it was looking into the emergency landing.
"We are aware of the incident involving Alaska Airlines Flight 1282," the company said. "We are working to gather more information and are in contact with our airline customer. A Boeing technical team stands ready to support the investigation."
The MAX 9 features a rear cabin door behind the wings that can be activated in dense seating configurations to meet evacuation requirements, Flightradar24 said.

Let’s not forget Eric Smith had a serious heart event late October spent 3 weeks hospitalized. Seen a recent photograph media thing he looks like walking dead now.
In my research this all points back to the pivotal case of Dodge vs Ford which manifested “Shareholder Primacy”. All you need to see is thier logos of thier time understand absolute everything. Or you can read the article or read Henry Fords book with a subtle title hint.
TLDR: The Jews.
Once upon a time, a man named Henry Ford found himself with an extra $60 million of capital, and decided it was in the best long-term interest of Ford Motor Company to reinvest that surplus back into the corporation -- hiring more workers, increasing their wages, and lowering the price of the products for consumers.
But brothers John and Horace Dodge, stockholders who owned 10% of Ford company shares, didn't like Henry's decision. It interfered with their short-term profits. So they sued him.
In Dodge v. Ford (1919), a landmark case decided 102 years this month, the Michigan Supreme Court held that Henry Ford could not lower consumer prices and raise employee salaries.

There are no extremists.are they backing down because they were wrong, or because they need men to send to war?
What they mean is anyone that won’t go with the agenda will be punished and yes they are correct this will create division.
Division = Civil War

If you open any Joe Biden tweet the comments seem to be 99% anti - extremely anti - Biden.
In the Twitter realm it seems there is no division. When that idiot speaks people roast him.

Place I work molds plastic shit.
The most important part is the mold.
We will build a mold but they don’t like the cost.
Instead the build their molds in China.
They will have numerous meetings with us to ensure the NDA is in place before we manufacture yet they have their mold built in China.
Stupid fucks.
One of my customers was (is) one of the premier auto body welder manufacturers in N America. They wanted to "break in" to the Chinese market. The cost of entry was that they had to surrender ALL documentation (CAD dwgs, bills of material, work/assembly instructions, repair manuals, schematics, etc.)
And....they did it.
I told them they were nucking futz.

I had to find a product for a job. A super simple device. It’s a tiny condom that you roll down the tip of a tube of caulk or similar in order to keep the contents fresh.
It was called Red cap or some shit designed by a guy up Seattle way.
We were going to use it during the production of a medical device to keep the hose barb connections clean of debris during assembly.
I try to source everything from the US for patriotism, liability, self preservation especially in the case of medical products.
Found lots of information on the web for the original made in USA product but every link brought me to a made in China Ebay offering.
I found the inventors email address and bitterly he told me he went out of business a few years before because everyone was buying the stolen copy.
‘Merica!
exactly why they want him dead or in prison for telling the truth.
Same experience with others who had to outsource parts, supplies, or blueprints from Chinese firms. It is very reminding of those sci fi space operas written by Matt Hughes or Jay Lake where you are dealing with shadowy alien corporations/guilds who base their businesses primarily on swindling, bait and switch, and outright scamming and strongarming those they feel are weak and gullible. Yes you'll get something back in those dealings, but they always end up taking a whole lot more. Like, they'll set up a situation where your expedition's fleet will get stranded around the gravity field of an unmapped neutron star, and they will come rescue you at the last moment... But you just lost the rights to a group of deep space outposts you guys built as part of the deal...

Florida bill named after VP Harris would require teaching that Democrats supported slavery
The 'Kamala Harris Truth in Slavery Teaching Act' would teach students the Democratic Party's 'role' in slavery.

Anyone who breaks from the accepted narrative is deplatformed. If they continue to draw an audience they are silenced more directly.
i think the democrat scum have lost control of the narrative. more people getting the "news" from x instead of liberal trash media.
