Finley letter: F-35s

F-35s should not have ever been approved for production anywhere in the world. We have a planet with ever-threatened ecosystems: oceans, increasing species extinction and loss of habitat, also pollution in various concentrations around the world, deforestation and increasing forest fires. All life forms have an appropriate threshold of atmospheric tolerance for the survival of species. Manufacturing something so loud it could be called “air fracking” threatens not just people’s well-being, but would be devastating to insects, pets, farms animals and wildlife ecosystems. For wildlife to survive it must retain the senses that it was born with. F-35’s would undermine sensitive building structures over time from vibrations abnormal from original strength sustainability. It would also be horrible for autistic children who are sensitive to sounds.
