Making a better battery, or commercializing it, is a milestone. Putting a research battery into an airplane is not a milestone. It's a publicity stunt.

Building a reliable long-range monoplane in 1927 was a milestone. Flying it solo from New York to Paris was a publicity stunt.

Which of these two actions do people remember and celebrate today?

Ohio just put a moratorium in place because they gave out too many tax breaks. https://www.theregister.com/on...

Yes there are trade jobs during construction but afterwards how many people do you think these places employ? They're a warehouse filled with equipment racks and when something fails a person is sent out to swap parts. They employ at handful of people.

Giving women equal rights leads to this.

Only if you treat them like shit.

They should have equal rights, but let's not pretend that there wasn't any side affects.

Effects.

Nothing happens in a vacuum.

Treating women like shit makes them not want to pump out babies. Now they have a choice, so they are doing a lot less of it. Literally all it would take to get a large portion (a majority IMO) of them to do it without support from a decent partner would be to gracefully and quietly fund the programs that ensure they will be able to feed and provide medical care for their children even if their circumstances change, but there seems to be a problem even meeting that bar.
