RIP to the Northern Illinois Bottlecap Balloon Brigade’s ~$80 ham radio transmitter balloon, likely the victim of friendly fire by a $143,000,000 USAF F-22 firing a $485,000 AIM-9X Sidewinder missile during the Great Balloon Panic of 2023.
We are living in the most dangerous time because our leaders are stupid and our enemies are smart. There are days I really wonder how the US is still here. Every historical metric says we should have been conquered and slaughtered 50 years ago.
