    When they say they can’t afford to forgive student loans, this is what they mean. This is where the money went. A trillion each year into the military that can’t say where the money went and fails the audit each year.

    “reviewing the report, which appears to be based on an inapt comparison of the prices paid for parts that meet aircraft and contract specifications and designs versus basic commercial items that would not be qualified or approved for use on the C-17,”

    Yeah, come on guys, this is serious. A commercial soap dispenser isn’t capable of blowing the door off a plane, only a genuine Boeing part will do that.

    This is a known bug. For some reason (Ron Howard - “Corruption”) the devs (Ron Howard - “The US Government”) refuses to patch (Ron Howard - “put a stop to”) it by passing laws to stop it.
