They’ve been superceded. Any military role they had is now done better and safer by satellites.
Unless you want to study a flight of a fast moving object in the atmosphere (something NASA may want to do as a research agency) there is no need for the SR71.

…but they don’t want to understand that, as it would mean they were supporters of a genocidal apartheid state.

It’s precisely that. The winds blows and the sun shines, then suddenly the power company would rather pay their customers to use more power than pay the generators penalty fees to turn off.

Even with something like Dresden there was something left. Something to rebuild from.

Gaza has been flattened. It almost looks like Hiroshima.


I often get paid for charging mine. They paid me 30p on Sunday.

Lack of any real power I think.

WW2 has basically passed beyond living memory. People today don’t remember how Hitler came to power except through history class. People don’t remember the consequences of that on a personal level. They don’t remember living in fear. They don’t remember losing family members.

So I’d say No.

Even a union will balance pay demands against other benefits.

Do we really want to put other, ethical companies under strain just because anti-ethical companies have lots of dirty cash pumped into them to pay higher?
I wouldn’t count “behind a VPN” as “open to the internet”.
