Why can't we fix and improve infrastructure... and spend less bullshit like the F35 program? I believe research, development, and program maintenance costs are expected to exceed $1.7 trillion dollars.
With $1.7 trillion dollars you could, for example, give every household in the country a small rooftop solar array (@ ~$10k/ea).
- criddell 4y agoIf you try to buy that many solar panels, you're going to move the market a lot. Would the price go up or down?
- micromacrofoot 4y agooh of course, very likely! but it's an interesting illustration of the massive budget these defense projects get — and this is just one project!
