According to a new report, defense contractors like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Raytheon have raked in over HALF of Pentagon spending since 2020.
Trump's new $1 trillion annual DoD budget will pad their pockets even further as he cuts the social safety net.
War is a racket.
Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.
They make sure we have clean water.
They protect us from financial fraud.

I’m ambidextrous at the one thing that counts — removing splinters from my hands

finally some good fucking news
You guys don’t need to try to convince me that any form of AI has merit. It doesn’t. It is boring and half-assed. I am fine getting by with human brain power. If the world nears its end and AI has one hater left, good news! I am still alive.
