Need to get back to silent videos and photos only.

AWACS had parachute and some chut you could slide out at one time. Don’t quote me on that entirely. They simply were not worth it. First most accidents happen and have happened on takeoff and landing. No good in that situation. In a war environment, getting hit by a missile, pretty much the only weapon that will take down an AWAC or similar. Missiles likely won’t give crew time to escape. Plane will be doing some kind of tumble. Then you got training. It not simply train once and all good but every year. Sometimes it is better to use that money and time to provide better alternate training that will be more effective. Say for more escort aircraft or better alternate safety systems within the aircraft. You also have the space it takes up resulting in less functionality of your aircraft.

In a large scale world war III scenario, AWACs and similar would be a dangerous plane to crew. Shot down rapidly. In our current warfare situation, they are one of the safer planes to be in. Unless you are Russian and incompetent.

Lemmy is pretty caustic platform if someone doesn’t agree with you.

Is good. I bet we would have some massive power failures as well.

Worse, many articles do not have the year in the date. What the hell is up with that?

That is such a lazy argument. More people then ever before are out of poverty in the history of mankind. Doesn’t mean there are not problems. In regards to COVID, we took millions of people out of the workforce while printing money and still paying many of them? Of course that will result in massive reduction of inventory levels that we will feel for a decade. That results in inflation as what do people expect when less items available to the same amount of people that want them.

Regards to qualities etc. That varies. We have more access to products then at anytime in history as well. And many of these products have come down significantly in price. But that also means quality products and their prices get compared to shit products at lower prices. What do you think people buy? Secondary, people do far less informal work and that effects your perception of income. Our parents and grandparents maintained their own cars and houses for example and grew far more food. Now every hires that out and buys all their groceries at a store. That leaves you with far less money.

Then there is one industry that has made gains but their costs has gone up ten fold. That is healthcare. You have access to some of the best medical procedures then at anytime in history. But some of those costs can be North of a million dollars. Our parents and grandparents simply did not access that and in some cases died. I am happy I have now options but this is coming at a huge cost of which much of it has to be paid for upfront before you retire.

You could kill off every billionaire tomorrow but that won’t result in much more houses being built or available. Wealth inequality is an issue but if more cogs are not manufactured, our standard of living will not change much.

Oil and gas is massively profitable. Western nations have crippled that industry resulting in countries like Russia becoming energy giants. The world is consuming new records in consumption this year and let capita, developed nations are nearly a factor more then emerging nations.

I work with a few hundred businesses and most have a good idea and know their product well. The majority that fail do so because of the administrative business side of things. Billing, expenses, tracking inventory and costs. A good idea is only half the work.

Don’t be discouraged but ensure you keep an eye on the business side of things. Beyond that, some of the suggestions here are valid.

Mostly corruption and stability doesn’t allow for business to develop along with the wealth that brings.

There are other factors but mainly you need good governance and free markets to allow for wealth creation. It at least that is the only model that has worked so far.

Then I started blasting.

I had to write to normal cassette tape.

They been around for some time. Sped up testing significantly during COVID but with COVID they have a massive data set to verify it’s safety. Likely factors more then most drugs. I am personally pretty confident in the usage of RMA proceedures.

There is less poverty and less major wars than anytime pretty much in recent history. On a local level, individual crime is generally also at its lowest levels. It varies a bit year to year but we are living in one of the safest and prosperous times ever.

It funny you bring up r/conservatism. It use to be a fairly big sub and far more moderate until Trump got into power. But if you had anything bad to say about Trump, banned.

Now it is just an echo chamber with few members. Go there and given day and only a few posts with up vote above 100. Really mostly a bunch of pathetic people since the moderate conservatives left.

Lemmy can be a bit this way but on the opposite spectrum.

Same. And I like some disagreement as that brings discussion. Lemmy can be pretty toxic if you don’t echo back the expected.

But if an American says football, that can create a bit of confusion.

My sorrow.

Then it is shelved. Basically for a later dated. Tabled is where the discussions take place.

Yes a fair amount. At ground is about 760mph at 40000 feet about 659.

Temp and humidity factor some as well.

Yes. Often there are unintended results. I think another issue is that many people would have difficulty understanding the math behind it. It is not complex but it doesn’t end up with concise results sometimes and distrust in the system can certainly jilt some people as we have witnessed enough.
