Although stealth delays radar detection, its more important role is making stealth planes hard to target with weapons. The wide bands of radars that can detect the planes are not able to locate them accurately enough to target them with weapons. No stealth is invincible, so mission planning is also key.

Europe is divided. Countries close to the Russian threat take that threat a lot more seriously than countries further away. If the former militaristic European countries ever wake up and return to their martial ways, they could be a danger to Russia and the world.

One reason housing is so expensive is because we don’t have enough houses. One reason we have fewer houses is because local regulations make building more expensive. Until local politicians get serious about limiting regulations, or the federal government withholds funds to localities that do not do so, these politicians are not serious about housing affordability.

Cool underwater desalination technology that could help solve water crises. It’s not cost efficient yet. It’s lighter on the environment than land-based plants.

Non evidence based recommendations from Trump’s CDC will result in deaths. The chaos of getting CDC workers to leave, and shutting down programs, and giving directives where the verbal and written directives don’t match, and restarting things when it is suddenly realized they are needed…is not good! Bad.

Small modular nuclear reactors may end up being a good idea, but they have problems. They require more shielding overall compared to one big reactor. As of yet, they haven’t been built with more speed. They produce energy less efficiently than one big reactor.

When countries like China focus on heavily investing, initially it works well because they invest in productive things and this grows their economy. However, later, they run out of that many productive things to invest in, in which case they are robbing their citizens of consumption and outcompeting other countries’ manufacturing, but not gaining much actual new productive benefits. This leads to debt.
Bilateral tariffs like Trump is doing don’t work. The U.S. has a huge deficit because it consumes more than it exports. A global tariff could work by making goods more expensive and incentivizing people to consume, now relatively cheaper, domestic products. Bilateral tariffs just mean Americans will import cheap goods from country C and D instead of the heavily tariffed countries A and B.
Getting foreigners to invest in the U.S. hurts the U.S.. The U.S. has plenty of capital to invest and doesn’t need more. Additional investment means driving up the dollar, making U.S. goods less competitive internationally, and hurting U.S. exports.
China has debt to support investment. The U.S. has debt to support consumption. The system is out of whack and needs adjustment.

The administration says they are targeting the worst of the worst in their illegal immigration crackdown, but the facts are, they are sweeping up lots of people whose only crime was illegally immigrating.

Much of politics and punditry is performative lies. I’m not sure why these people think their falsity is okay, but they gain money, fame, and power with their bullshit.
