    This is going to be such a white elephant, and a giant vehicle for corruption. But I guess that’s the point.

  2. Decades ago our corporate overlords identified social security and Medicare as being potential source for funding incredibly expensive war in space.

  3. What was the point of a contract vehicle with 1,000+ awardees? They haven’t narrowed the field at all.

    The corruption must flow.

    All I hear is”cha-ching, cha-ching” in the distance.

  5. >The Missile Defense Agency selected 1,104 “qualifying offerers” out of 2,463 applicants, according to a Tuesday evening Defense Department announcement, choosing about 45% of those who entered.

    Reminds me of that joke about that hiring manager who throws out half of the resumés because he *”doesn’t hire unlucky people”*

  6. I’m convinced were going to see actors like Russia or North Korea shooting missiles at North America and this is needed to save us.

    Of course its all planned theater to grift money

  7. $151B for a project that’ll be super easy to not be held accountable for. Maybe I need to get some bids in.

    For a minute, I forgot that this was a defensive shield-I thought it had something to do with the ballroom…

    We’re paying for this $151 billion boondoggle with the $12 billion cut from the education department.

  10. Basically $400 from every American going to a handful of people.

    It’s the grift in America!!!
