In 1669 & 1670, the Va colony passed 2 laws
The first allowed the โcasual killing of slaves.โ
The second created a distinction between a slave and a servant:
The Black ones were slaves

i didn't have an issue with the skeleton combiner system for Superion and Menasor because those designs aren't affected by it. they're all same-ish planes and cars. If you swapped out Slingshot for Air Raid on the combiner it's like who cares he still looks the same.
whereas for the Combaticon designs it's different- when you swap the limbs around it actually does affect the way the combiner looks. So in the case of this design i would argue that losing the Scramble City play pattern is a loss.
as for the slavish cartoon accuracy, i wasn't bothered by it with Superion and Menasor cos honestly the G1 toys for those two aren't exactly stunners. nobody cares if a new Menasor doesn't include the car chestplate. i don't mind the cartoon streamlining them up.
๐งต Remembering Krantiagrani G.D. Lad on his birth anniversary.
Ganapati Dada โBapuโ Lad was born on 6 December 1922 in Kundal, Satara district, in a middle-class farming family. His early life shaped the disciplined and grounded leadership he later became known for.
Bapu Lad completed his primary education in Kundal and pursued higher secondary studies at Shikka Boarding, Nipani, founded by Mahatma Gandhi. He later passed his matriculation from Aundh Boarding, Pune, before enrolling in Puneโs Ayurveda College to pursue native education.
Lets look at the P-51 as an exercise in getting the right kit to the guys quickly.
1./ NA took a risk - they could have made $$ building P-40s, but they wanted more.
2./ They adopted the latest tech - they used NACA's secret R&D sauce to make the P-51 super slippery.

... more slippery than the Bf 109, the Spitfire or the FW 190.
3./ NA were aided by a tight Air Ministry specification, designed around real combat experience against the Luftwaffe.
4./ The engineers were left to get on with it - no SRO changing the specs, 90 days is all it took.

5./ Even before it got a Merlin, USAAF wanted it, but could not get out of contracts with Bell, Lockheed and Curtis-Wright, so they simply redesignated it a dive bomber to use an unspent budget line and NA obligingly fitted dive brakes and bomb racks.
It's now obvious that the Intell agencies would have focused on infiltrating Microsoft, just as they had infiltrated IBM.
And the incredible delays in rolling out Windows95 were probably owing to the agencies stuffing more and more spyware into the Operating System.

surely the CIA had learned what was possible from Robert Maxwell and Mossad getting PROMIS installed across a wide range of networks? And then sucking up all the secrets, such as stealing US designs of thermonuclear warheads from Los Alamos Laboratories?

Marcus Foundation
Who is the Marcus Foundation which Leven sits as vice chairman?
The Marcus Foundation was created by Bernard โBernieโ Marcus, co-founder of Home Depot.ย The foundationโs primary philanthropic effort was $250 million to the creation of the Georgia Aquarium, which opened in 2005. The foundation supports medical research; nonprofits in Atlanta, Georgia and Boca Raton, Florida; nonprofits in Israel and the U.S. supporting Jewish causes; and center-right public policy organizations.
The Marcus Foundation is the creation of Bernard โBernieโ Marcus, who co-founded Home Depot with Arthur M. Blank and Ken Langone in 1979 and retired as Home Depot chairman in 2002. In a 2019 interview with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Marcus said he had given away $2 billion up to that time and planned to donate 80to 90 percent of his remaining fortune to philanthropy and that while he left detailed instructions to his executors, he hoped to give as much money away during his lifetime as possible. The newspaper noted that Forbes calculated his wealth at $5.7 billion. โI want to live to be 100 because I want to be in a position to give it away to those things that I really believe in,โ he said.
Marcus Foundation Grantmaking:
In 2020, the Marcus Foundation donated $80 million to the Shepherd Center, a rehabilitation center in Atlanta whose patients suffer from strokes, multiple sclerosis, and other brain-related illnesses. The grant will be used to support construction of a new building for the center, augment outpatient care, and start a new program to aid soldiers suffering traumatic brain injuries.
In 2021, the Marcus foundation gave $20 million to launch the Gary Sinise Foundation Avalon Network, which will be used to launch a national network of treatment centers for veterans experiencing post-traumatic stress, brain injuries, and substance abuse problems. The Marcus foundation grant was matched by a $20 million grant from the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation.
A Marcus Foundation grant in 2021 was a three-year, $60 million grant to the Jewish Education Fund to support RootOne, which offers Jewish teenagers trips to Israel. RootOne said it would use the grant to provide 10,000 trips for teenagers by 2025 and over 20,000 by 2039.
Marcus Foundation grants of over $5 million in 2019 included Hillel International ($8.7 million), Thomas Jefferson University Hospital ($6.8 million), Marcus Autism Center ($5.7 million), Emory University ($5.1 million), and the Boulder Crest Foundation ($5 million).ย Center-right public policy organizations receiving over $100,000 included the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies ($3.9 million), Turning Point USA ($500,000), the Federalist Society($150,000), and American Enterprise Institute ($100,000).
