A Dollar Tree opened near me in Canada within the last year. Now don't get me wrong, our local Dollarama isn't amazing or anything, but that Dollar Tree is embarrassingly bad by comparison. 75% of a shelves were just straight up empty, and what was actually on the shelves was so cheaply made that I'd be embarrassed to give it away, let alone charge what they were trying to charge for it.

There was one aisle pretty well stocked though. They had an entire aisle dedicated exclusively to bibles. What the actual fuck?

For a modern military, in a general sense, yes, the F35 is the best currently. Mostly due to it's software and sensor suite which have a much larger impact on mission performance. It's built to an assumption of US support, which means good runways and resilient supply lines. Russian fighters are out for the same reason US fighters should be out right now (can't trust the government).

Canada is looking for new fighters, where I think the Gripen is actually better than the F35 for our specific use case (almost entirely defensive, rough runways in arctic conditions that the F35 struggles with, need for lower maintenance requirements due to manpower and budget issues). The Swedes deal with the same conditions we need a fighter for, plus they offered a full tech transfer to revitalize our aerospace industry and help achieve autonomy for operation of the Gripen.

Yes, show, not give. There is a huge difference. In person, you can show them and know that they don't have a copy squirrelled away somewhere. With digital, you have to give them a copy, and you have no real way of knowing if they kept a copy or not. And given how untrustworthy these corpos are, they almost certainly did.

If they already have our information, then they don't need our ID for any legitimate purpose.

Sure, but republicans don't care if their candidate is sane (obviously). Democrats do.
