In the military the highest priority is hat things are reliable. Costs are only a second factor. Most "military grade" is far too expensive for consumer goods.
1. The US military is trying to go the other way. Trying to
apply cheap consumer technology for military applications. You may google it.
2. The former Soviet union military production companies also build consumer electronics on the side. It was far too expensive since they used "military grade" electronics for mainstream market consumer goods. This is the reason some people still love this old equipment that was also sometimes exported into the west.
"According to the Norwegian pilots currently flying the F35, it defeats all other planes it has gone up against due to its tech and stealth superiority."
The F35 is a one trick pony.
- Arms load? Little
- Speed? comparatively slow
- Dogfighting capability? Low
- View for the pilot? limited.
- Maintenance requirement. High
It sets all bets on "invisibility". By definition a plane can't be invisible in the year 2018. It depends on what frequencies/spectrum your look at it and from what angle you look at it (most planes are not very visible if the radar sees them from the front). Once you take this out (and Russians radars may be able to, nobody knows) it is a very risky bet. Guess why the US don't want Russia to train Turks on the S400. Then we would likely know.
"The Israelis are actively using the F35 in missions. Their air force is not known for spending large sums of money on planes that don't work."
What was the last time Israel fought Russia or China? Please remind me.
From her Webpage: "All member states of the EU have to welcome refugees and support each other in this task. We want to abolish the border security agency Frontex. We must ensure safe entry for all those who wish to claim their right of asylum in the EU."
It is people like her who kill Europe. By letting huge amounts of people with low educational background, tribal societies, low threshold for violence, different attitude towards women flood Europe you create the exact same problems in Europe that made these people leave their countries.
1. Nothing is more valuable in getting a visa than a passport that is full of visas already. Proof that you
a) always go back home
b) can afford to travel
c) have gone successfully through the process already
2. Hotel reservations. So annoying to show hotel reservations for every day of your trip. This gives your zero flexibility. Solution: Book a hotel and cancel it after you got the visa. Nobody is going to check when you arrive.
3. Proof of XYZ. Most letters etc. can be faked. Trust me, I've done it. :-)
4. "Getting Rejected" This is something that must never happen, since many visa applications ask "Have you been rejected before?" Trust me, you don't want to put a "Yes" here.
1. Working hours. I know people in Europe that have 35 or 37h per week guaranteed. 40 hours is normal in the US and most of the time you work much longer. 1 hour lunch break is obligatory. It is too long, I can not eat for one hour if I bring my own lunch. It is too short to go the the gym too.
2. Travel. Sometimes I had to travel a lot. You board the plane Friday evening, you are back home Saturday at 5pm and Monday you start again at 8:30 pm
3. Commuting. It is difficult to live close to work. Basically 1 hour commute each way is guaranteed. And while this is no time on my companies clock, it is on mine.
So you easily get 60 hours a week.
Depending where you live, you pay 30-50% taxes, 20% sales tax in Europe etc.
If you move abroad and work from your laptop, the whole game can change. Working hours, commute, taxes, purchasing power...
You have to make your boss happy. In some cases this may be done by an outstanding performance. In most cases it is done by being a good talker, walking overtime, look busy, give him a blow job under the table, whatever. But it is rarely connected with your real job performance. And again, how to measure performance? Performance for the company or performance for your superior?
