Ndezvipi zvinodiwa zvekudzivirira kudzivirira kuburitsa zvine chepfu netsaona, zvinodiwa kuti vanhu vataure nekukurumidza nezve chero zvaraswa kana kusvibiswa, zvigadziriso zvekugadzirisa zvizere, nezvinodiwa muripo kudunhu uye kune chero vanhu vakakuvadzwa?
Pratt & Whitney chikamu cheRaytheon Technologies, yechitatu mukugadzira zvombo pasi rese.

Nei Citizen's Times chinyorwa nezve iyo yakarongwa yemuno Pratt & Whitney chirimwa chine injini yeF135 yeiyo F-35 Mheni II murwi wejeti? Pamwe pacho, Pratt & Whitney vachange vachivaka zvikamu zveinjini paF-35s uye neinjini dzemauto, dzinozopedzisira dzave kutengeswa kunyika dzakaita seSaudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates (UAE), neIsrael vanoita kutyorwa kwekodzero dzevanhu. .
Izvi zvirevo hazvisi kure kutorwa. Kubva munaNovember 11, 2020, iyo Trump manejimendi iri kutsvaga kukurumidza kuteedzera kwakakura-kwekupedzisira kutengeswa kwemadhora 23.37 bhiriyoni mumajeti ehondo, madhiraoni nemabhomba kuUAE iri kuita hutsinye muYemen.
Chibvumirano ichi pakati peBiltmore Farms, LLC naPratt naWhitney / Raytheon chakachengetwa chakavanzika, zita rekambani rakabatwa kunyangwe muzvinyorwa zveveruzhinji, uye Biltmore Farms yakanyorera mvumo yemamiriro ekunze muzita rayo mukushayikwa pachena. Kunzwisiswa kwezvakatipoteredza kwakarongwa asi kwakabviswa munaKurume nekuda kwekukiya kweCOVID.
Vagari vemudunhu reBuncombe vanokodzera kuziviswa nemazvo zvirongwa izvi. Sarudzo yekupa maRentent incentives inofanirwa kumbomiswa kudzamara vagari vawana nguva yakakwana yekuwongorora uye kuongorora zvakakomba njodzi yenjodzi yekushatiswa kwezvakatipoteredza nemhedzisiro inonetsa.
Isu tese tinogona kubatsirwa nedzidzo muPratt uye Whitney / Raytheon bhizinesi modhi uye nhoroondo yekuuraya (mune purofiti), nekuita kuuraya (muhondo, kubhomba uye kufa).
Ehe, dunhu redu rinoda hupfumi hwakawanda, asi izvi zvinoreva here kupa nyika zvinokurudzirwa nematare edzimendi kubva pamitero yezvivakwa kunaRaytheon Technologies mudiwa Pratt & Whitney, iyo inoronga kugadzira injini dzejeti pane zana maeka epasi, yakapihwa ivo pamwe chete neFrance Rwizi Rakafara?
Tinokumbira vamiriri vedu vakasarudzwa mudunhu kuti vaite pamwe nekutora chengetedzo dzakakodzera mukuita sarudzo dzakapihwa zvakakomba zvenguva refu.
