GAASI not publicly traded tho, it's owned by the billionaire Blue brothers, Neal & Linden

if you want to make money off Reaper, buy Honeywell, that's a publicly traded subcontractor

Dude, I'm sinking my investments into places where they'll grow.
Like companies that do automation and specialize in offshoring jobs.

American lefties *think* we can jack Federal minimum wage up to $15 an hour and all that happens is unskilled labor suddenly makes twice as much money. Because something-something, wealth disparity, something, rich, Jeff Bezos, something, fair share ... and it all works out.

But what ACTUALLY happens is all those dipshits whose job "skills" aren't worth more than $7.75 and hour simply lose their jobs to automation, or to Pranjal in Hyderabad who will do that same shit for $3 an hour.

Riding that wave all the way to the top - untiI I can afford a just-outside of Toronto homestead worth a cool million.

that's Honeywell, the Industrial Automation & Controls division is probably bigger than the Aerospace division

they offshore all over, Italy, Spain, Bangalore India

they're also great at avoiding taxes

up 66% since September, paying a 1.75% dividend yield

The air superiority is the after-effect of being able to down everything.
no

there's Air Denial, then Air Parity, then Air Superiority, then Air Supremacy

Air Superiority doesn't down everything, it just means you have the initiative to go offensive

F-22 adds another niche, Air Dominance, which is to operate offensively without gaining Air Superiority, by leveraging Stealth
Sounds like a buncha wikipedia nerd shit to me, but ok.

Whatever the case, if you can't fly in the airspace, and I can fly whatever I want, I'd call it air superiority.
And anyone wishing to disagree with the terminology would be beaned by a rock hurled from a hot air balloon, and won't be able to do dick about it.
:lol:
To keep people from flying into your airspace is Air Denial.

To keep people from taking to the air space you control, but unable to take more than that is Air Parity.

To control your airspace and make inroads into your enemy's territory (as support for land forces, and still have the ability to defend yourself in the process) is Air Superiority.

Air Supremacy, to control both air above your territory and the enemy's airspace.

I was pretty confident with my statement.
