It's really impossible to discuss this without also discussing the fact that international students have been exploited for decades.
Make the weapons bolt-action.
There is no kill switch for the F-35, but the JPO’s statement points to the very real problems with the weapons system. In its own words, the jet “operates under well-established agreements,” its strength “lies in its global partnership,” and JPO “[remains] committed to providing all users with the full functionality and support they require.” In other words, the F-35 doesn’t fly unless JPO helps you, but don’t worry because it’s committed to helping.
The F-35 may not have a “kill switch” in the traditional sense, but the countries who bought it are locked into an irrevocable pact with Lockheed Martin and America. ALIS/ ODIN might not be able to turn off the F-35 remotely, but losing access to it can make it impossible to fly.
Only one country has escaped the F-35 software and logistics trap while still being able to fly the jet: Israel. The IDF’s contract for the jet allows it to operate its own software systems without ALIS/ ODIN and conduct its own maintenance.
I don't mean anything, as I didn't write the headline.
Is there any chance at all that you read the article?
3G Capital is a global investment firm and holds a 32% stake in Restaurant Brands International.
According to this article, this has further declined to 26%, roughly equivalent to the collective Canadian ownership (which I did not know, and is why I shared it).
Oh yeah, I think "is their food any good" is an entirely different question. But I do think it's interesting to untangle the ownership structure.
I can only assume that our version will be called CORN.
"Cube" is a really fun sci-fi horror, and I was happy to see it on the list. Very low-budget, but one should never hold that against Canadian cinema.
They definitely took some liberties with the list, but it seems like a good jumping-off point.
So it's extortion, then.
