  1. Wow, this analysis is really well done! I’m super excited to see your follow-up on this piece–maybe asking questions about the data used to grant such a gift. You managed to get your hands on the state representatives’ standard reply, and it says that it’s all about helping the industry and the city, at the expense of others. But here’s the thing: It seems like it mostly benefits one company, Cirrus, or maybe just a few others that support it. And guess what? It doesn’t have any proof or math to show why these companies need subsidies. It’s like the lobbyists are just saying it’s a good idea, and the state representatives are just following along without any evidence that the industry really needs it. And here’s the kicker: This industry makes toys for rich people and is owned by a communist country called China. That’s pretty ironic, right?

  2. Cirrus is a company owned by the Communist Chinese Air Force, and while it is the leading US producer of general aviation airplanes, it is also very much engaged in the development of autonomous flying machinery. By the way, the future of small conflict warfare will be centered around drone fighting, or autonomous flying machinery.
