You refer to this wrecked one? In general I liked sailing my catamaran for more than 20 years (Prout Snow Goose). Very safe and sturdy with a lot of space. -

Vance Highlights Trump’s Strategy for Gaza Hostage Crisis Amid Threat of ‘All Hell’
The civilians that sold hostages to Hamas when they captured them are not holding them anymore, correct. How about UNRWA staff, are they holding any more hostages? Why has the civilian population been living in hell? Why do you think Trump and Vance do not want to have the hostages returned as preference? Lots of questions there I know you'll ignore............... -

Slashing welfare': GOP eyes chopping $5 trillion to pay for Trump priorities — like tax cuts
That current tax laws are not fit for purpose, is a different argument from the wastage in monetary terms across Government Departments. But to directly address your billionaires remark. Ever heard of the term " asset rich, but cash poor " Which is what the majority of " The Rich Pensioners " in the UK are, and most likely all other Western Nations also. But it neatly destroys the mantra of " Tax the rich more " Sure, there are some obscenely rich people in the World. I don't happen to believe that those individuals should bear the financial responsibility of the **** ups caused by Governments. -

Thailand Opts for Gripen Jets Over F-16s in Defence Upgrade
My understanding from YouTube vid. Government and countries sell Military Equipment. The power, influence, repoire, etc weigh heavily on decision. The vid was talking about for this country, the environment, landscape, X plane would have been a better choice but they chose the (US, UK, etc) I guess they manage the deficiencies for their needs and requirements. So my understanding no one size fits all for Military equipment and all countries in the world.
