I wonder if it manages to keep pace with the inflationary losses for the past 2 years and expected losses in the coming year. If they aren't averaging close to 5% per year for that 3 year period, they're going backwards.

Having a credit rating on the imaginary debt of the US is ridiculous.

The federal govt doesn't borrow US dollars - it creates US dollars.

It's impossible to default.

about twice for groceries and twice for gas for 2 cars, I guess that's 6 times.

Canada's not as enthusiastic about that military spending because little of that money goes to Canadian companies. Even for things like shipbuilding, the rules are unfavorable to Canadian industry and a lot of the industrial benefits go to US companies. Canada tried to negotiate industrial benefits on the F-35 program, but it didn't go well, and Canada entirely withdrew for many years.

A GOP Senator is just a mouthpiece for US industry, they just want more Canadian spend, they don't GAF about actual defense of Canada.

rockwool is going to bleed dust into your equipment. Go with accoustic foam panels, they are cheap even if you need to use some double sided tape.

It's going to be a challenge to soundproof without blocking off a lot of airflow.

it was obsolete as a shelter by 1960, it's just buried under a bunch of dirt.

Later shelters like for NORAD in North Bay were deeper, and in hard rock. But they aren't expected to survive a large h-bomb either, and those shelter locations are well known.
