Well they should have accounted for this! They should work hard to get through this, not expect handouts! /s

As sad as the outcome might be death-wise, I hope this pandemic ripping through the US makes us realize how broken our systems are and how instead of spending trillions on military we should be spending money on our collective wellbeing.

Global free-as-in-beer trade for all costs a ton of money, and is good for global well-being.

Cutting waste is certainly something we need to do better, but let’s be honest about the product we’re getting (that nobody else is capable of producing much less giving away for free) for our military budget.
