Atlas shrugged becoming more and more relevant nowadays....

I'm actually concerned that all the diversity hires throughout every western industry to even the military may have compromised things too far that the west's technical superiority is an illusion and if push came to shove in a crisis (e.g. Taiwan gets attacked) a lot of those systems will fail like a house of cards thanks to inadequate people in high positions.

It's really the CEO's fault, more than the people he hired.

At least he was man enough to take the risk himself though.

The people who wear “refugees welcome” t-shirts almost never live in the poor areas where refugees end up living. And NEVER invite them to their own home.

Tbf china is in the same boat ( or even worse).

Probably but the thing they can do that the US can't is throw bodies at their problem. They can win against Taiwan by building a bridge of millions of dead Chinese soldiers to take it which may eventually destroy them but that level of devastation will have an impact for hundreds of years.

The real threat would be if they somehow got into a war with India, they can trade men on the same level but the threat India has is the Gurkas, EVERY military will confirm what demons they can be in battle so that would not be a good idea to face them.

Just remember that China literally tried this tactic in the Korean war. They sent old people and cripples, prisoners and political dissidents to try to send more bodies than the USA had bullets.

It didn't work then either.

Mixed, they pushed the American/UN forces out of North Korea and just below the parallel but the logistics became stretched and were pushed back to the border of modern North and South Korea

So like in every war, if you don't have a strong logistics setup, you'll lose the war.

all deep sea manned subs have spherical pressure vessels.. while this one tried to be special with a tube lol.

most likely the tube pulled away from the end caps. the pressure on the tube is greatest in the middle, so when it gets pressed down, it causes the edges (where the carbon fiber meets the titanium ring) of the tube to pretty much deform away from the ring. and the ring and tube is only glued together lol.

Agorant, ignorant, corrupt and in denial of reality. Just like any feminist really.

The lawsuits for this will be epic.

Apparently the tourists signed liability waivers that mention "death" at least three times on page 1. It'll be interesting to see if it'll hold up in court, especially with stories of cost-cutting and extreme negligence coming out.

it probably won't hold up, you can't enforce illegal acts or sign away your life through a contract, there's difference between informed risks and criminal negligence/ignoring safety protocols
