But who would kill all the Martian spiders for these women? Hook up their TV and stereo? Change the oil in their Martian sand buggy?
Indeed. Per TFA it's "only" $400M in cash and $1.6B in stock.
(and an additional $300M in earn-out based on undefined goals)
Global warming hysterics are not content with whipping themselves for raping mother earth want to turn the rest of us into Flagellants as well.
I smile when gas prices rise, because the prices of my oil and refining stocks rise with it. Better to join Big Oil then fight it!
The F-22 was inferior in almost every important metric to its competitor, the YF-23.
That's not entirely true, and I say that as fan of the YF-23. The F-22 was less stealthy but more maneuverable. The Air Force valued the latter somewhat more than the former at the time, and here we are today.
That said, the real farce was that Lockheed was allowed to submit *two* proposals. The first one clearly would have lost to the YF-23, so Lockheed was allowed to go back to the drawing board and submit a second...*after* the USAF told them what they needed to change in order to win over their hearts and minds. Northrop was given no such second chance.
Happiness is twin floppies.
