if you had insurance for 140 a month, hen you had one of two things: a) crap insurance worth less than its cost. b) a unicorn that would have undergone a market correction eventually anyway.
Number of daily gun deaths. The economy (no, he doesn't get credit for Obama's last fiscal year). America's reputation and standing in the world. The environment. Worker protections. Consumer protections.
this is the same kind of conservative bullshit that they used to excuse poll taxes and literacy tests.
saying "oh, you think they're too dumb to read? who's the bigot now", while ignoring that at the time illiteracy was dramaitcally higher among minorities.
or saying "oh, you think they're too poor to vote? who's the bigot now", while ignoring that at the time (and still today) poverty was dramaitcally higher among minorities.
we pretty much established, via a long and bloody civil war, that unilateral secession is not in fact legal. all law is essentially conflict resolution. war is the ultimate conflict and resolution. its essentially the highest form of legal precedent.
non-unilateral secession however stands a chance of passing muster.
not saying i agree with it generally, or with the lack of a direct 1 for 1 replacement for what it can do, or its raw survivability.
but the A10s were slated for retirement, and only recently did the AF pulled back from retiring them and is looking at some options to extend their service life. and their mission is slated to be taken over by the F35.
though obviously the F35 isnt going to be tank busting with a cannon. but on the other hand, the A10s came into service about 10 years before helos really came into their own as tank busters in their own right.
and A10 CAS was always somewhat redundant with the helos, its primary advantage being payload and loiter time. other hand, even as rough a field as the A10 can use, nothing beats the reaction time of a helo located at the FOB itself, whereas the A10 still has to fly in from elsewhere (we still havent seemed to max out using the A10s rough field ability, seeming saving it for a real SHTF scenario)
loiter time and bomb trucking is seemingly going to be taken over by drones. predators and reapers having done quite well. general ground attack the F35. and CAS can be done by helos. the new Cobra upgrades in the marines are truly spectacular. the army is looking for an apache replacement soon though.
the backbone of US fast reaction is the USMC assault carriers a fully self containing air and ground force able to mobilize at a moments notice. you obviously have no background in anything related to military or aircraft support, so sit down and be quiet.
Harriers and A10s are end of life. upgrading the existing airframes to correct the fatigue issues while maintaining the older tech is just as expensive as developing and manufacturing new.
especially for an airframe still training its first generation of maintainers, who are mostly crosstrains from other airframes. the best of whom will then be used to get the maintainer training school up and running.
the people writing these articles, as well are most of the people commenting here, have zero knowledge of what its like in a typical squadron, let alone one fielding a brand new airframe.

still discrimination
Doesn't mean its not discrimination.

Amtrak is not a government agency.
once again you prove only that all youre good for is spreading bullshit and misinformation.
OSM is only concerned with government use of spectrum.
FCC regulates and assigns non government spectrum use.
Translation: you're an idiot.
bullshit.
here you go with your bullshit again.
Number of daily gun deaths.
The economy (no, he doesn't get credit for Obama's last fiscal year).
America's reputation and standing in the world.
The environment.
Worker protections.
Consumer protections.
Or any of the things you listed.
You were so preoccupied with whether or not you could that they didn't stop to think if you should.
it literally says it was scrapped.
and that the funding was cut for partisan (ie, GOP science denying) reasons.
the headline isn't inflammatory.
its completely accurate.
the one that had its funding cut.
none of those problems are unique to compulsory voting.
those are all potential problems NOW, without it!
and somehow we muddle through.
your bullshit argument is bullshit.
We know for a fact they will lie to bias a story to fit with their pre-existing politics.
takes one to know one, eh?

a) good for you
b) you're spreading bullshit
while proving your stupidity again only took you 7.

says someone completely unaware of the early teething problems of the SR71, F15, and A10.
not at all a reflection of reality.
but hey, nice try pretending those threats didn't exist when the A10 first entered service.
