>Tu-114
>massive turboprops

those bad boys were *loud*
strong aesthetics, obviously
ah but why not? turboprops are efficient and reliable, and *almost* as fast as turbofans

and the airframe was a solid design

the civvies retained the glazed nose station with its optically flat lower pane 😏
sadly the view from pilot's station in Tu 114 wasn't as grand as on the B29 or the He 111
from the trenches:
chonkers make surprisingly good fast bois

the most important fast chonker

 a contrived case for "intellectual property":

"intellectual property" a way for government to wrangle some of the control over corporations back from media & commentariat. #dmutc Image
2/
 the gov largely controls corpos through property and monetary policy.

conversely, the media & commentariat controls corps through opinion & branding, and through the workers.
3/
 the branding and the worker's know-how being tied down to the company by "intellectual property" shifts the control partly away from the journalists & commentariat and back to the government.

which is less bad, obviously.

if it wasn't for the journalists profiting from the endless conflict, the Israel/Palestinians conflict would've been ended decades ago.

hitting this profit center of journalists is a valid move.

>giving only one hour's warning
>imagine this was your home

Edward plz. you did well what you did, but don't ally yourself with the journalists. they're already warping your worldview.

it's not "their home", it's journalists dirty profit center - they profiting from *war*. Image

 an open letter of "dear government pay us more". let's read.

 a committee - i.e., responsibility washing

 remember the recent paper that counted & equated "in minecraft" to terrorism?

this would also cover the "hate statistics" (i.e., the politically incorrect statistics)

 enjoying the deep dive into Schumpeter's "Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy" by @joeldavis

asking @RadicalLib and @Megatherion8 - are Schumpeter's views valid? validated through time?

2/
 in particular the insight into the distinction between competition-between-competitors vs competition-between-technologies.

the later is well visible now with fast paced changes, and kudos to Schumpeter for having observed the slower variant of that in the 1930s, 40s

 this is the first time i hear a *theoretical* backing to my guttoral opposition to monopoly-busting done by government. nice 👌

the pro-antitrust case is
>bust large co's because they are politically independent

note they never bust the political machines known as *unions*, even tho those are much more monopolistic on their markets

note they never bust the political machines of *big fundations*, either
context:
i like @killfile take here - solid examples.

still need to remember how much more was held down and destroyed by the unions. cue any public school teachers' union.

 so what is truth?

to the right-winger, "truth is what makes sense"

to the other right-winger, "truth will set you free"

to the left winger, "truth is what others confirm"
