This is 9/11 but the US backed by an entire alien planet, unafraid to go in the direction of scorched earth even when totally surrounded because the aliens will bail them out.
Stoking the flames of death is all.
The remainder is mostly gonna be regulatory arbitrage or low margin niche fields that a large company can't exploit.
The neighborhood liquor store, or the grey market handyman. That's the remaining low cap fronts.

These are the acts of calculated actors getting in on the take as incomes reduce, to lock in the income stream.
In the end deploying the artillery in Grozny and elsewhere during the first Chechen war was a pyrrhic victory that ended in years of Chechen independence.

I've fought in a non-state militia that held off a nation state, in a civil war. About half the people I met died, but yet, the rest remain. So you're wrong.
>They" had guns and weapons and fought back against the nazis and lost. It turns out a bunch of civilians with small arms does not actually pose a meaningful threat to a state level military.
... Those in the Warsaw ghetto did with smuggled arms, and held out for several days, meanwhile their disarmed brethren did not last nearly as long.

As a married person in balancing my finances I always then half it and then subtract 20 percent of my pretax income to find what's truly mine after liabilities to my spouse.

Prostitution causes a real problem here as it throws a bone in the resource extraction from male to female by making the consumer more informed on costs up front.
Cool, child support and alimony optional now. Right? Because it's always easy to be independent with OPM. People forget single moms became far more practiced after the state incentivized breaking up families.
OF is like the wet dream of a drug dealer or whoever else with a baby momma and some kind of scam/fraud/counterfeit operation.
BUT
When I dated someone in the industry I quickly realized why many people avoid such workers. It's highly correlated with HEAVY drug use, severe mental illness, and sad family stories. Not challenges lot of people looking for in a relationship, especially if they want children.
When it becomes fine, it will be worth no more than someone coming to mow your lawn, and probably less than that.
That is, the FAA suffers from the same lack of competition as Boeing.
To break the monopoly, counterintuitively, we have to deregulate Boeing.
Sometimes it's easy to lose track of how basically all the Washington unions are so broken in their homicidal negligence while begging for more money to fail miserably.
The other are those who after seeing the belly of the beast,want nothing to do with it other than be left alone or help people escape the horrible beast the federal government has become. They have seen the murders first hand, and rejected the premise.
