I find it frustrating the the US Govt spends > $800B/yr on our "defense" while we run out of basic supplies like ammunition and all of our tanks and ships are falling apart.

Meanwhile, that same Govt spends < $1B on fusion, which could change the course of humanity.

I'm usually the last person to suggest that the govt should spend money on things, but for goodness sake I wish we could at least get our priorities straight as far as what to spend the money on.

If I didn't know better I'd think that the whole point of the defense department was to funnel money to well-connected corporations and execs.
