just an accounting of the erosion of basic human rights

Look dude, I don't know how old you are or how much time youve spent in sports. But this absolutely isn't an "erosion". Coaches used to have absolutely immunity and were so much more brutal, both physically and mentally, than they are allowed to be down.

And to be clear, this isn't condoning what the coach did. But the mere fact he got fired (and has charges pending) is actually an improvement since the 90s.

Again, what the coach did is not good. And just because it's "better" doesn't mean it's good. Its just hard to take your comment seriously when you clearly have no context.

The vast majority of the F-35 construction is actually done inside the US, and that's required for security requirements for things like this.

Now a bunch of countries (Canada, UK, Netherlands, and some others) did contribute to the development of the F-35 but I want to say it was only around ~10% of the total cost. And that also went towards the purchase price of their first block of airframes.
