How did the British win the Battle of Britain?

How did the British win the Battle of Britain? It was looking extremely tentative at first. The Luftwaffe was sending wave after wave of bombers that were focused on air fields and radar stations which really wore the British down. The air fields were caught unprepared taking heavy losses with one big issue being the advanced warning systems to allow for the pilots to get into the air to defend against the bombers. It was really tight for a while where the British had a hard time getting planes into the air fast enough and getting them assembled fast enough in order to be able to replace the losses that were taken in the beginning of the battle. Due to the Nazis having near air superiority over Britain it was decided that aircraft production would be splintered into pieces of industry that were scattered across Britian which would serve to lower losses when the factories were targeted. One of the costs of assembling in pieces scattered is that the logistics of moving the pieces so they...

Here is how the world ends

What is the most far-fetched conspiracy theory you've encountered so far in 2024? Do you think that you know who is behind it? It is all planned. Economic Collapse We are about to have a market crash once again. We had an uncontrolled gain in terms of the overall market gdp due to the artificial bubble created by the holdbacks of Covid. When things lightened up for restrictions we seen all kinds of money thrown at problems to get the backlog dealt with. The has created a bubble that is similar to the housing bubble of 2008. In fact, if you look at that economic growth chart just prior to the housing collapse the economic graph is near identical with an unsustainable gain slope that was higher than it was long. This I suspect is because of Covid and then the rush to catch up. Which means at some point this bubble is going to break when some industry crisis or some type of economic shift or slow down occurs and the first companies start going bankrupt which are currently over extende...

What are the potential drawbacks of nationalizing an industry?

 What are the potential drawbacks of nationalizing an industry? It depends on what industry and what the purpose of nationalizing it is. The industries that it makes the most sense to nationalize have some criteria in my opinion: They should be static industries that do not change very much or very quickly in terms of the core of it’s business. It should be an industry that is key to public security, public safety, or the public’s interest. It should be something that is mammoth in size so that it doesn’t affect any small businesses by having it nationalized. It should add value by nationalizing it - such as continuity, consistency, stability etc. There should be a pain point that is needing to be addressed that centralizing that industry under the government addresses it. It should be specialized enough that there is not a lot of competition. It wouldn’t be small business or medium businesses getting put out of business - it should be an industry where it would be cost prohibitive...
