None of this shit is easy. For all the flaws of our military they do run LOTS of scenarios to figure it all out. Lasers are not a panacea, but they will be a powerful tool.

Anti-ship ballistic missiles are not a battlefield proven system. One of the biggest problems is terminal guidance catch-22: you are either moving too fast to be cost-effectively intercepted but ALSO unable effectively track target OR your are dramatically slowing down to course-correct in your terminal stage but then…

Huh. Didn’t burn.

so it faces in rather than out ?

Building cars in America CAN happen again, so long as the workers will take $7.15/hour.

I don’t think any automaker will ever be able to displace the Wrangler, no matter what they try to offer, nothing else really offers the definition of “cool american ruggedness”. The Blazer is yet another SUV in a sea of me-too crossovers, nothing special about it.

I’d agree. I think the situation is that people SAY they don’t like cars built outside their home country but the reality is that they don’t really vote with their wallets in that sense.

It was not so much that they were illegally making cars bearing copyrighted names it's that Ferrai and Lamborghini were appalled a bunch of guys in a garage were able to make "replicas" that look almost as good as the ones made in their state of the art facilities at one fifth the price.

So you’re saying this is a knockoff story about knockoff cars?

How much you want to bet Epstein never serves in genpop in a real prison? Man would sing like a canary about too many influential people before he’d do that, and I think he’d likely “accidentally die” before that could ever happen. So either he serves in a very protected manner or he dead.

Whether he’s right or wrong, why would anyone pay for repairs out of pocket, and then demand reimbursement from the dealer after the fact?  If you think you might be covered by the warranty, take it to the dealer and tell them to fix it.  They’re much more likely to go along with fixing it themselves than they are to…
