Spunky Psycho Ho posted:Can you explain off the top of your head how a modern aircraft carrier catapult system works Yeah, it's digital. If you're talking modern, then that's the digital. If you're talking about what most of these guys are using, it's the steam. The steam works. But they're talking about going modern. Everyone wants the modern. And that's the digital.

OXBALLS DOT COM posted:Please defend the Ford class carrier to me It uses less space and is more efficient. It allows for more planes to get off the ground in shorter periods of time and is easier on the planes so they last longer. It's also cheaper in the long run. Plus you can launch small drones on it which we are using more and more today which steam catapults can't.

Especially when advocating for billions of dollars of modern technology to be scrapped for something that has become obsolete. The new electric catapult system which doesn't work and requires years of development and millions for a total redesign and refit to be combat ready. Or say "gently caress it" and do away with the pointless flashy new tech and go for the refit (which was anticipated during design) with a cheaper option based on proven technology.

I do think our military should be at the forefront of technology and shouldn't fall behind countries like China who will be using EMALS in their next carrier (I think even India will be using it too). Electromagnetic technology is the future of warfare so might as well figure it out before everyone else does. I mean the hat says "Make America Great Again". What's greater than launching a bunch of planes into the sky with loving magnets? We could just keep using 50-year old technology and become China's bitch down the road. But that doesn't fit on the hat.

Like what has this fool actually done? He's a reality TV show star and is acting as such and it's amazing how quickly people gobble his nuts down. Why? He's just talked a bunch of poo poo some of which has stuck to the wall, appointed cronies to almost all positions, and done jack poo poo all except flail around in the mud over something that happened 6 months ago.

The deal wasn't even in place so we're just speculating on pros/cons of a hypothetical future situation so yes I'm asking what has Donald Trump actually done to help working people thus far? Because from where I'm sitting, rich people are primed to get massive tax cuts in various ways from healthcare to capital gains to elimination of the estate tax and what are we loving getting?

Why hasn't he pushed for infrastructure? Why hasn't he issued an EO greatly defanging lobbies and monied interests? Why hasn't he done anything to seriously address the revolving door situation? He's been golfing nearly every weekend, held 2 (that I know of) rallies, backed regressive policies benefiting the rich, and you're still on his nuts like his cum cures cancer. Yug posted:loving lol at a "progressive" handwaving away Trump trashing the most anti-labor piece of legislation in history. It's a pretty big loving deal dude. So you have no answer for me then. Of course you don't, because he has done nothing for you. quote:the most anti-labor piece of legislation in history. lol yeah you probably couldn't even tell me a basic summary without googling it first.

That's cool meanwhile he's getting laughed at for getting nothing accomplished in the first 100 days, a general metric used to evaluate how effective incoming presidents are and gauge their continued effectiveness negotiating and getting policy passed. In before "what an arbitrary line, 100 days who cares!" Yug posted:Do you think Trump getting rid of TPP was a good thing or a bad thing? That's not the question I am asking. You can try to reframe if you like, I'll just assume that means you have no answer. It was a good thing but it wasn't even implemented yet so ooooh biiig fuckin' props to him lol.

Maybe you don't care because you're in a position of privilege but I have a lot of friends and families who would have had their livelihoods absolutely completely hosed if TPP had gone through so it's a very big deal for me and if before the election someone had given me that but with the catch of "big tax cuts for the rich" I would have taken it in a heartbeat.

The biggest thing he's done is nix a trade deal that hasn't even been finalized yet brilliant. A huge accomplishment, considering the executive branch holds sole trade negotiation authority. Meanwhile anything that requires any actual dealmaking.... lol.
