Aircrafts carriers are sitting ducks waiting to be sunk. A pair of it may be useful to exert attacks against a third world country, but in a full scale war against a powerful enemy they will end as artificial reefs for fishes in a few hours.
Building 10 of those is a huge waste of money that could be better spent to try to help mankind rather than destroying it.

A ransomware group would have been hacked? But who can you trust these days?

I know I'm a dreamer, but what about beginning to put factories back in the West to be able to counter China without risking an economic blackmail. Ok, the beancounters and shareholders won't be happy, because it will be a little bit more expensive to exploit western wage slaves than Chinese ones, but in the long term it will be beneficial in term of GDP, taxes, and international security.
Fuel cells are the future.
Anyway, It may be interesting to reread this article:
Lithium-ion had a lucky break early on. Successors will need billions of dollars to catch up – if they don't flame out first
Louis Rossmann accused Apple of hypocrisy
<sarcasm> Oh, that's gross </sarcasm>

Well done chaps.
