A clear example of this is the F-35 program, which has gone over its original budget by $165 billion to build a plane tasked to perform many different tasks, none of which it does well.
I tried to get an F-35 to clean my old apartment, it kind of worked at first but it burned down the apartment instead…
Judge not, lest ye be judged. Who here hasn’t accidentally tipped a valet $1 trillion instead of $10? It’s happened to all of us at one time or another.
I’d say it makes sense to assume the worst. $3T used for the darkest acts meant to maintain power and fortunes.
It’s usually bags of money and pallets of equipment that go “missing” and find a new home with a warlord.
Signs point to a future terrorist attack at the records building, and maybe at the building of the investigators too.
Nah there is no reason anyone in the defense industry has to care one iota about records they probably didn’t keep, nor any investigators that ask questions. No one is going to enforce accountability. No one is going to lose their job. No one is going to mess up whatever gravy train they have going and no one in congress actually cares. That requires way too much work.
It’s a classic
Have they checked between the couch cushions?
I’mma need this author to name at least two “analysts” who genuinely believe the USA instigated Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Hmmm, have they checked in the couch? You will be surprised what gets lost in there.
Who knew R&D is expensive?
