LOL!
Keep your children out of our military. Iran, Russia and China will soon use our crap technology for target practice and Israel use our troops to catch the flak. These countries will promote their best and brightest to advance technologies, including weapons. We promote 90 IQ students based on quotas. This is why we are getting destroyed in Ukraine and soon in the Middle East.
We are not running out of them, we are systematically telling them they are not allowed to work, increase our abilities, or protect our people. This is a huge advantage for Russia/China/Iran.I partially agree with this...China and Iran lack the genetics to manufacture and use the same level of technology as the west does, while Slavs maybe have 80-90 percent of the capacity of "the mighty white-man." Unfortunately we're not even close to running out of western men who will take care of the practical work in society, including military tech.
I also think Russia will achieve their goals in Ukraine eventually, but not due to superior weaponry etc, but rather the Ukraine running out of manpower. Despite threats, NATO will not deploy troops in the region. (nor will nukes be used)

It seems that so many western men are willing to put up with and endless array of crazy demands and insults and still keep on delivering their "services." I can't see an end to that dynamic anytime soon.
It seems that's the obvious answer to all of this.Why is this happening? I'm not sure, but I think you could easily argue that the powers that be are no longer interested in allowing ordinary commoners like you and me to have access to safe, cheap, and abundant airplane flights, as was the case in the 2000s-2010s. In hindsight, that might have been an unknown golden age which we will only appreciate when it's gone. They don't want you to leave.
What do you think?
China's advances in the last 15 years are insane. There are pictures of major Chinese cities from 1995 or even 2000 and then today and the difference is absolutely shocking.I've been avoiding the Boeing 737-MAX for years since the 2018 crashes, and never believed the Boeing lies that they "fixed" the problem by writing some computer code.
However, it seems now we are witnessing lots of problems with non-MAX Boeing aircraft. It's really not possible to completely avoid Boeing planes unless you live at a major airport hub, because generally at least one leg is going to be on a Boeing plane if you take a trip with say 4 legs which is fairly common. So I guess I will just cross my fingers and pray every time I fly.
Last week there was literally a Boeing disaster story every day. No fatalities, but very serious problems like doors flying off, flight computers shutting down, etc.
Long term, China is going to dominate the aviation industry. They have a nice plane in the C919, and due to its large population, high average IQ, and lack of stupid diversity policies, can put more smarter engineers behind the design of these planes than America can feasibly do going forward. Airbus is probably at risk as well, but Boeing is toast.
China haters, it's the US that caused all this. China is just doing what Chinamen do, Produce High Quality Goods At Low Prices, and since America took out the regional hegemon, Japan, and then committed Seppuku itself by trashing its once strong aviation industry, you have no one but yourself to blame.
“Let him protect us” does sound very weak indeed, and terribly passive. I would rather be proactive.
It's ironic how computers and technology are always presented as making life easier. But in the case with so much technology today, it's just another complication to a simple process. The irony is, the Quesadilla is probably one of the easier items to make at Chipotle: cheese + optional protein + two tortillas, right?I'm putting this in decline:
We stood in line at Chipotle today begging the workers to make a quesadilla for us. The tortilla was right there, the cheese, their heater, right there. It's on the menu but they wouldn't do it because it was on their "digital" menu. We even talked to the manager but he said he was helpless, pointed to the cameras and said they were watching. He refused to let them make it for us unless we downloaded the app and ordered it there. Unbelievable. What a stupid world we are building. And can no one question and push back on all this crap anymore?
Honestly these days it seems like the CEOs of most large corporations are utterly retarded. Like if you picked a random normie off the street to replace them they would do a better job. I feel like it cannot be by accident that this is happening that the dumbest people run our large corporations.I'm putting this in decline:

I read a book several years ago that talked about how CEOs and psychopaths were psychologically identical. They had basically all of the same mental traits and behaviors, just CEOS were the successful psychopath. Maybe someone here remembers it.. I think it was a fairly well known author, but I can't recall if it was just a chapter in a larger book about something else.Honestly these days it seems like the CEOs of most large corporations are utterly retarded.
