    OK, cool. So remove only enough taxes to offset the ludicrous, roundabout way of deflating prices by converting food to fuel. Take the acreage you just freed up and install solar farms. (I know that last bit will be controversial)

    No, the government is paying farmers to make more corn than necessary which eventually leads to lower gas prices at current rates. It’d be far more efficient to just stop taxing gas.

    So many questions.... 1) How did the Strike Eagles not get a lock notification? F/A-18s now capable of TWS locking multiple targets? 2) When the AMRAAMS switched to terminal guidance on their own radars, the Strike Eagles would have gotten a missile launch warning, and the expected response...
