all this data collection is useless and doesn't change anything. billions of dollars wasted.
- convolvatron 10y agoas a former employee of the military industrial complex, i've always wondered how much of the funding went into these categories - simple graft - strategic investment in technology so that it might be available later if needed - strategic investment in people and industries so that they will be on tap later if needed - pointless waste - things of actual tactical value seems like it might be a combination?
- gloverkcn 10y agoI would guess that pointless waste makes up the majority. Getting sufficiently competent people in the right positions and the right authority and removing organizational politics is really difficult.
