    ->The Embraer EMB 314 Super Tucano, also named ALX or A-29 is a turboprop aircraft designed for light attack, counter insurgency, close air support, aerial reconnaissance missions in low threat environments, as well as providing pilot training.

    =It's a useless plane if the other side has weapons.

    As much as most US missions these days involve bombing women and children in schools and hospitals, and this plane is much better for missions like that than the F35.
    Often the other side shoots back.

    Yea. I've been caught out twice by leaving my laptop on (win10) and having it restart without my permission and loose work. Linux way better than windows. But windows works well enough on the laptops to not really justify going through the hassle of intalling nix.

    Firstly:
    In 2010, Romney and his wife totaled $21.6 million in income and paid slightly more than $3 million in federal income taxes. That's good for an effective tax rate of 13.9 percent

    Which kinda proves my point. Bet you wish you had an effective tax rate of 13.9 percent

    And secondly .... according to the documents he released.
    ->If you think his income was really "just" $21.6 million, Which is less than an entry level VC, you are dreaming.

    Now you are being quite rediculous.

    Only poor people (those with income less than about $2mill a year) pay any tax.

    Unless you count the negative interest rate on their swiss bank accounts and the cost of bribing the politicos to give them exceptions.
    And I'm pretty sure they don't count.

    Exactly.

    Which is yet another reason "widely reported FUD" about melting ice causing 3" of sea level rise is BS.

    No one in the US cares about such disasters already caused by subsidence.
    So
    There is no way anyone cares about disasters that may happen if something that may or may not be happening, happens somewhere 99% of the population has never been to.

    But won't stop rich folk putting a carbon tax on the poor folk, so they can drop more bombs on villages and schools in places the average American has never even heard of.

    Ever hear of subsidence:

    https://www.climate.gov/news-f...

    Land subsidence [sinking] in the New York City area has been roughly 3-4 inches per century, which is primarily due to the Earth's crust.

    i.e. Absolutely NOTHING to do with ice melting. and however told you it is, was lieing to you, and you should get your money back.

    You mean the worldwide refugee crisis caused by america dropping bombs on people.

    Not sure what that has to do with sea level rise and falls.

    Other than you'll have a tiny little bit less land to house them all when the EU start shipping the people displaced by US weapons to the US.
