7. A “green glow” sometimes appears on the helmet-mounted display, making it difficult to land on an aircraft carrier.

8. When there's little starlight, the night vision camera sometimes displays green striations that make it difficult to see the horizon or to land on ships. #F35s

Dear Canadians:

There are so many serious problems with the F-35, compounded by our extreme weather in the Arctic.

1. The F-35’s logistics system has no way for foreign F-35 operators to keep their secret data from being sent to the US. #F35s

This is really disappointing to hear, and I think you owe the owners of Canada an explanation as to why this is still going forward when none of us want this. None of us will ever trust the equipment nor should you you are potentially going to put Canadian

I read them all this morning and was going to respond, but had to go into town. Excellent posts. Thank you my friend.

I want to tell Canadians what is wrong with this fighter jet. If they don't want to read it ... that's fine.

Time for America defense industry lobby to go. Canadians: We are paying 5% of GDP to expand military for nato, while Canadian social programs are cut. #NoF35s #AbolishNato

Call or write your MP.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

It's okay, we can be the fake audience you rehearse your grief to. No offense taken. One of the ways that I honor losing my mom is by trying to help people grieve their parents online.
