    Prices & incomes are higher because of higher demand because we produce more & have more value.

    It's difficult for a low IQ dumbass (e.g. RomanD) to impersonate an intelligent person but it's easy for an intelligent person to impersonate a racist dumbass.

    Regardless, if Jakemax is dying of thirst, I wouldn't piss in his mouth. He's not worth the effort.
    Looks like another claim without proof.

    If you were on fire, I wouldn't piss on you unless I could piss gasoline.

    Making 30% more doesn't mean anything if the cost of living is 50% more. You're on the losing end.

    Why do you think so many people are moving out of high tax, high cost of living areas to places where it's lower?

    Never been to proper Appalachia.


    But, I've been to Harrisburg, PA & Sarasota, FL.

    The houses are much bigger on the whole around the NYC metro & cars here tend to be pricey ones too.

    Me neither.

    The houses aren't bigger and car prices are relative to where you live.

    In the Navy, I was an ASW helicopter pilot in the late 80s (SH-3G). Obviously the Soviets were our main threat. Our job was inner zone defense of "Mother", our assigned aircraft carrier. S-3s (fixed-wing jet ASW) and fleet destroyers and frigates provided outer zone defense. Soviet subs, be they diesel or nukes, were built very tough. It would take a lucky shot with one of our Mk 46 torpedoes to kill one which would give any attacking Soviet sub time to sink Mother.

    Like hunting, placement counts for a lot. With two ASW helicopters or one SH-3G and one S-3 jet, the chances of successfully hunting and killing an attacking Soviet attack sub were greatly increased but still not guaranteed.....which is why, in an actual combat situation with the Soviets, dropping a nuclear depth bomb was the only way to insure a kill on the sub and to protect the 5000 sailors aboard Mother.

    Tom Clancy's "The Hunt for Red October" is a terrifically accurate book if you are interested in the tactics and weapons at the time.
    good stuff... And great Red Oct = great book

    Soviet military doctrine seemed to privilege reliabilty and overwhelming firepower. Until the M1A1 came along, our tanks were consistently outgunned by Soviet tanks. The AK47 used a 7.62 mm cartridge which was ridiculously powerful compared to the NATO 5.56 mm small arms cartridge.

    I believe USA always had the advantage in blue water Navy and strategic bombing, but the Soviet conventional land forces were formidable, especially tanks and artillery. Which is why up to the 1970s, NATO conventional strategy including using tactical nukes to stop a Soviet hypothetical invasion of western Europe -- NATO was aware their ground forces would not stop the Warsaw Pact forces.

    The educated & productive core in the USA is mostly the North- East & West Coast.

    More claims you can't prove.

    They tend to support left wing policies. That refutes your claim automatically.

    Is that why their GDP dropped over 10% in the 2nd quarter of 2020?

    You're the one that said Germany's policies are like the Democrats.
