As well as many other websites.
While airborne?
To get access to this data while airborne, I have to pay a private
company. I don't care about that, because I'm paying the company to
transmit the data to me, just like I pay my ISP to provide an Internet
connection when I pull the data off of the web. The bottom line is that
my tax dollars are being spent to generate the data, and therefore I
shouldn't have to pay a private company for access to the data if I
otherwise have a means of access.
The government prints currency, but the corporations & financial
institutions generate wealth.
Well, one out of two ain't bad. Financial institutions don't create
wealth either.
Generate.
They don't generate wealth either, since generate is a pretty close
cousin to create.
