Best Way to keep your costs Down

[mustardman]

At least the CBC will expand your brain. But then again with the cons you can't expand what you don't have. LOL

Nice try mustard, but the purchase price
is still $9b, the $45b figure is the cost
of ownership over 42 years, over $20b of
that is wages, but maybe you'll catch
someone off guard with your NDP department
of peace propaganda, as far as the CBC
expanding your brain goes...alot of things
swell as they rot.

Operational life of an F35 30yrs. But who are we going to sneak up on with this stealth plane?

[tubs]

the media is trying to tell an incomplete story again the fact is the are fully expensed out over 42 years. If you want freedom you have to spend some coin 1 billion a year is a small price to pay. lets dump the cbc

Everyone who is against this should think about
how much more it would cost to do this 10 to 15
years down the road.

For those who are just starting to feel their control slip away.....tough.....there's always a corner somewhere to set up your own private pan handling station.

Remember the classic quote about how nothing could possibly go wrong. Something about Saskatchewan's economy could be mismanaged and we'd still be able to break even.....

"But I guess agriculture is about politics and not running a good business. Or perhaps being a millionare with more money than you know what to do with and loads of time to talk about things you can't control/have limited impact on your business."


Just depends where you get to sit within the agriculture industry. I you're a spin doctor then maybe you're 100% correct; even with any implied sarcasm.

In any case you are correct about the politics part; and the lack of control over one's destiny.

In between the lines there is nothing but self interest being seen as important.

Look at the Japan "tidal wave" video to get a feel of about the level of control farmers truly have.

"An interesting market and nobody seems to talk about it or provide alternatives. But perhaps the criticial factors are what you in your business and not what people talk about on Agriville"

The best side of being diagnosed as " myopic" is that your first pair of glasses will show you a whole new world of the details you've never noticed before.

Not really sure on weather the planes
are a good deal or not, but don't we
have military requirements that would be
a higher priority right now. Such as
some new helicopters so we could perform
some timely search and rescue
operations. Or how about some new ice
breakers that would give us the arctic sovereignty they talk about, and perhaps
it help facilitate some trade.

Just seems to me our needs vs wants
might be a little misplaced on this one.
I would argue that replacing the sea
kings should be the # 1 priority for our
military.

Stealth fighters are every little airman's dream.
