That's like claiming if it spun off it's discount coupon business it would be worth the same as groupon.
You have to love calling the office of Hazardous Materials Safety "ASH" !
That has for years resisted smoke hoods being required while deciding that aircraft that only fly upto 300mi offshore aren't really over water and don't need life rafts.
That increases spending on staff moral while cutting local ATC and is so far behind in it's plans for radar at small airports that it's not funny.
If it did then somebody is wasting an awful lot of money on air superiority fighters when the country could be defended by a grid of laser pointers from Staples.
"FAA released what it called a legal interpretation, which finds that directing a laser beam into an aircraft cockpit could interfere with a flight crew performing its duties while operating an aircraft"
If only they would release a legal interpretation that aircraft can fly without engines we would save a fortune in fuel, reduce noise and GHG emmisions.
Then we can remove emacs and have InteLinux
It's interesting to plot the position of each country in Europe in this cycle, from Scandanavia through Italy/Spain to Greece/Portugal.
For the 3rd world or 'human resource rich countries' - it's different. You have to look at the population in the industrial revolution 200years ago. People living on farms in the countryside had lots of children to run the farm, to provide for them in their old age and because many wouldn't survive. They move to the cities and have the same number of children - but more of these survive (however bad conditions in the 18C towns were - they were better than the countryside!)
Then as people become more prosperous they have less children and the population stabilizes - but at the new higher level
