You're telling us that it's because of oil that Iran is corrupt. I point at Canada, a country that exports 3 times more oil than Iran, and growing, and you counter by saying in Canada oil is privatized!!
What does that have to do with anything? In Canada, health care is government mandated and isn't privatized. Utility companies are owned by the provinces and they're not privatized. I can go on and on. Whether a certain sector is state owned or not makes
no difference when the country itself
IS A DEMOCRATIC free society with rule of law and a free market economy. Whether Alberta "nationalizes' the oil industry or keeps it private, the result will be the same.
Iran is corrupt because power is in the hands of a few. We see this in China, we see it in Zimbabwe, we see it North Korea and...
In China, corruption runs deep in every sector. From manufacturing to commodities. It's no different in Iran. The difference is that in Iran, the oil industry is the only industry that makes any money, so it's the most talked about.
And Canada's diverse economy didn't grow in a vacuum. It's the result of the environment. You can't duplicate success in Zimbabwe or Iran without duplicating the ecosystem. Not sure why this is so hard for you to grasp.
The riding season in my city is from from April to September. So I have a solid 6 months before I have to "winterize" it and put it away. Getting it for joy riding pretty much.
BMW doesn't have beginner sports bikes and I don't like how they look. Honda's bikes are ugly as hell. Ducatti doesn't make entry level bikes.
Basically, any sport bike with a 600 or 1000 cc motor is considered a super sport and isn't meant for beginners. They also weigh more and have a very sporty sitting position (you really have to lean forward). So if I'm going to start on a sport bike, I have to go for something with a 250-350 cc engine.
Kawasaki has the 300cc Ninja 300 model and Yamaha has that R3 (321cc) that I posted earlier. Between these two the Yamaha easily wins it for me. These smaller engine bikes are cheap too. For a super sport bike you can easily spend over 10K before insurance and gear. Yamaha R3 and Ninja 300 are both under 5K. Which is fantastic value. Plenty power for the city.
This is the Ninja 300. It has 20 cc's less than the R3 and I think it looks worse as well.
Spy and telecom. satellites? you're looking at MULTIPLE satellites over a ton sent to the high earth orbit. You're really smoking some extra strength hash man. It's taken them 20 years and a thousand tries to pop up a 50 kg radio to the low orbit. You want them to send 5-10 1000kg+ satellites to the HEO? Without cash? Broke as broke can be?
You seriously don't see multiple flaws in your argument?
That guy's "BS" cancellation article is more believable when you respond with such posts.
