Maybe American airports could be more luxurious if we let slave labor build them like certain other countries do.

Not at all. Although I find that most people who THINK Republicans care about their tax rate don't actually make anywhere near enough for Republican policies to benefit them, if those who make that much money are single-issue voters and that issue is their money, then they ought to vote their interests. I wish every American actually got informed on facts and then voted their self-interest. We'd be a lot better off.

Edit: I mean I'd love it if people gave a poo poo about people other than themselves too, but self-interest voting would work just fine.

This, and from that guy's posting, it's pretty drat obvious that he and his friends are far to stupid to even count to 250K let alone make that much. Don't do meth, kids, or you'll end up votin' st8 R in 'lecshuns cuz that whut we do durn here in *red state*

It really depends, a lot of the US airports are really showing their age. I don't think any US Airport is as nice as Singapore's or Hong Kong's which were probably way newer.

gently caress the goon hivemind. This is the same groupthink that beat me into submission over dungeons and dragons 4.0 being good when in fact it was a pile of dogshit that has since been completely walked back. If I wanted to mindlessly follow groupthink I'd go to reddit.

Debate felt even to me. More trump talking trump off the cuff, though restrained compared to previous appearances. And clinton reciting whatever soundbites her handlers had her memorize.

Neither is fit for presidency, and theres not even a valid 3rd party candidate to throw your vote away on.

have been cited as evidence of our "antiquated" Air Force in every presidential election going back to at least 1980. It's misleading, as you point out, but also very unwise to take the opposite position and try to explain advances in avionics to audiences on the campaign trail. You could, but you'd sound like Walter Mondale whining about Strontium 90 milk.

The debate wasn't even close. Trump had an insanely low thresh hold to meet and Hilary would have been in trouble, but he couldn't do it. Plus saying some stupid poo poo didn't help either.

LAX is in the middle of a years-long modernization to accommodate Dreamliners and poo poo.

It's still got that late 70s Concrete and Steel Box vibe in some areas, and probably the most dated part of it is impossible to adjust (traffic flow in and leading to it).

I don't travel much, buy I really enjoyed the sights in SanFran's airport. It's got a sweet layout and the vistas are great with rolling cloud banks. You can also take the loving BART to the Monorail to it.

All you have to do is see 'goon hivemind' in this thread and you know it's some Trumpster all shook over his boy gettin' owned horrifically by that BITCH. No rational person capable of valid thought could see that as anything other than as a complete shitkicking by Hillary. GOP commentators are saying it, network anchors are saying it, everyone is saying it except the people who can't believe what they just saw because of how bad it was and therefore their 'feelings' have to take precedent over their disbelief.

Sorry Trumpsters, he lost and looked like a buffoon doing it. That's a fact and no amount of Newting it up is going to change that fact.

A few years ago an F-15C disintegrated mid-air, and it was determined to have been caused by a defective part causing excess fatigue, resulting in A, B, C, and D models being grounded and thoroughly inspected. They're getting pretty old, along with the USMC's F/A-18Cs. (The Navy already replaced their older 18s)

The E models of both planes are significantly different and quite a bit newer, and haven't had these problems (yet).

That said, these are reasonably high performance aircraft that get put through a lot more stress than a bomber. They're expected to be replaced by the F-35. The rest of the F-15s will probably be retired when the US either restarts F-22 Raptor production, or starts building the F-22's replacement.

B-52s on the other hand are a slow moving bomb truck that were in production for several decades, and are technically quite old. But after arms reduction treaties a ton of them were partially scrapped or put in the aircraft boneyard. The B-52s still in flight have had a lot of their parts replaced from these scrapped planes, and are basically flying Ships of Theseus.

I can't really speak to the age of the other two components of the nuclear triad though.

We also recently started development on the B-52 replacement.

The B-21 is basically going to be like the B-2, except hopefully not as horrifically expensive
