The potential financial catastrophe on top of the complete lack of investment in the future of this Country will be something those who voted for this excuse for leadership will live to regret.
You know that aircraft carrier we spent billions on? Well apparently its in the south China Sea with only one destroyer to protect it as the other 5 are out if action due to the fact the engines pack up in warmer waters. The Navy expect the last destroyer to also give up the ghost too so have asked the US Navy to be prepared to offer it protection..
Add to that the engines have already been replaced once at great expense. Also I think the carriers have similar engines too
As we're talking about boats, I'll just leave this here.

Apparently that's a 'San Antonio'-class ship....the first of them was laid down before 9/11, not afterwards. The twin-towers configuration is simply a coincidence of design. The ship in the photo is named after the State Of New York, not New York City - although the use of steel from the World Trade Center in the bow section of the ship is certainly no coincidence.
It's one of those things that wouldn't even occur to you unless you worked in that, or a similar field.
It seems that even Budweiser, that bastion of finely brewed beers, is shifting it's whole er, "bottling" emphasis away from glass and over to cans. Apparently there's a worldwide shortage of glass... and even people in that industry aren't sure of the reason... or reasons, behind it.
