Correct me if I am wrong but isn't it s good thing that the fed is essentially unprinting money?

Because of all the concerns in my life, foam cups are the top of the list.

you have a loicense 4 that m8?

Interestingly, 2013 (when this was first passed) was when Bloomberg was an "independent" mayor of NYC. Really make you think.

Its in German but it shows what's coming to the US soon:

```Investigators are looking into whether the attack was politically motivated.```
ähm, no, of course not. An attack on a Political party is NEVER EVER politically motivated....

That would be the safe assumption, investigators.

I mean, I suppose it's possible a complete madman made a bomb and chose that building entirely at random.

"America has lost it's stomach for war"

Yeah? Attack a US carrier. Do it. Make it a surprise. We have a real good history of letting those go.

With Trump in Office I wouldn't do that.

He might be anti war, but only Wars that aren't against us. If China attacks first, its a different story

I don't think China would win a nation v naton war

we have weapons the world doesn't even know off for the rare occassions like this

and I'm not talking nukes

you know there's some classified horrors out there

wouldn't be surprised if we had an kinetic energy weapon floating around in space.

hell, Zuma might not have failed

Tbh guys, they wouldn't even be able to sink a single carrier if they tried

they could. they have enough foot soldiers to zerg rush the things.

might not be worth sacrificing your whole military but they could sink and aircraft carrier.

carriers are not known as the most durable of the war ships.

missiles are the only possible weapon they could use to attack one, and carrier groups have plenty of ways to stop missile strikes

Like sure, If they swarm a carrier group with their entire navy they may succeed, but realistically there is literally nothing they could do to surprise attack them, they would be well aware of their presence from over 200 miles away

Carrier groups are suppose to just avoid conflict anyway, they would escape unless they used missiles as mentioned before, but the antimissile missile systems attached to the vast majority of vessels in a carrier group would keep damage to the most minimal amount

Oh sorry. I ranted

@pratel
Puerto Rico banned foam containers,I think, because people kept leaving them at beaches. Plastic bags too because of litter.

Carrier groups kinda get me hot and bothered

I was my dream for the longest time to be an engineer aboard a carrier, I heard that they are so big that they have bowling alleys on board some

Could have been a lie but hey, sounds cool!

Dont think. Know

Carriers are floating cities
