This person knows nothing about RF and is just another applications monkey. Without taking fields and waves you are at best a technician. Anyone who actually worked in defense knows that minicircuits is a notorious company that pays very poorly and has massive turnover. Many of the other defense/space RF subs are just the same. The author is just mangling all RF communications applications into one big ball. And of course the authors pathetic theory background means that RADAR is the only sensing application they "understand".
Not the money laundering, the mined bridges the fact that major international banks are based there or being a major supplier of weapons and formerly troops.
Because the students learned that school is designed by old morons, without understating why writing book reports and doing math drills has the intent of creating students that can read and write or learn other transferable skills.
Yes, but that isn't where the increase in demand is. Those things are affected by fabs that could be producing them producing something else, but there will be some stock floating in the system so some resistance to increased prices needed to justify new fab resource, and if things correct a bit in the coming year the maths for a new build might look more dubious. Those with the money to fund a new fab right now are more likely to fund something capable of producing the newer part types. I could be wrong, but the fact that significant new fabs like that are not in progress right now would suggest not.
Let alone the compressors or the flow measurement equipment. Also significant portions of the pipesline (especially in neighborhoods / last mile) aren't metal anymore.
