I wouldn't call 2 new carriers exactly a spending spree. At the rate they are building them, they might catch up with us in 30 years. We have 15 of them. The addition of 2 more like a diversion for them than an actual fighting strategy.

You don't seem to be familiar with kinetic weapons. You should at least get some cursory information about them. They aren't as useless as you seem to think.

There is a reason the Chinese only have a couple air craft carriers - they understand that AC carriers are obsolete when even a simple kinetic weapon dropped from orbit is all but unstoppable.

Space is the ultimate high ground. Any moron should be able to understand that.

Played all the time.

The problem with this is that poverty is a relative measure. I'm sure by any standard those Cherokees were far better off, pre-casino, than 90% of the population of Liberia.
So, everybody gets $6 grand. Who's poor now? How much more is it going to take for them to not be poor?

It's a perfect example of what happens when people pervert liberty into license.

Yah!

If people were more familiar with Natural Philosophy, they'd know vaping, like smoking, is potentially very risky and they'd wait a few years to see what it results in.
The lungs are made for breathing air, not chemical cocktails.

They'll convert everybody to veganism and then we'll die within the next week from all the vegans farting!

You are a very hateful person. You are NOT a Progressive! Stop slurring LGBT!

You want to be viewed as a liberal, loving, accepting person, but there you go using a slur for LGBT people to slur Nazis. I don't think you are as progressive as you pretend to be.

How about exposure to plastics? A combination of contraceptives & plastics?

you to be injected with vaccines, they can force you to be injected with anything.

I worked for a company that had a $10 billion dollar credit card portfolio. The entire call center ran on a combination of mainframes and VB including real-time transaction analysis and fraud detection. We only used C++ to develop a select few VBXs and OCXs but VB6 made even that mostly obsolete. It worked great and was easy to debug & support .

Actually China is coming to the realization that population is power.

They can't even keep up with the current vetting process. All they can do is save the info and refer back to it if there is ever an issue. Of course, by then it will be too late.
