And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Bring it back
I might tolerate, instead of the central circle here, an engraving of the new Ford class carrier. Projects power in every way.
The Powers that Be would not bring that back. We used to have a Thousand Dollar bill that no longer circulated cause it is easier to carry a million or two in a briefcase out of the country then suitcases of hundred dollar bills. I read somewhere the Same PTB's are considering doing away with hundred dollar bill too.
Oh, it'll work eventually - new tech takes time to wring out. With the coin they've invested in that boat, it will most certainly be made to work. And our enemies know it.
" 'Better' is the enemy of 'good enough'" Steam cats and traps are plenty good enough. That cash cow is almost as big a waste as the Zumwalts and LCS. By the time it does work, we coulda had two plenty good enough CVN's. Stupid use of tax money all around. Boat Guy
An EXCELLENT idea!

ReplyDeleteWe need larger denominations in paper and less coins. Out lawing the 99 cent item would save us millions.
ReplyDeleteSince WHEN does a CVN that can neither launch nor recover aircraft " project power"???
