      I did, it names a bunch of incidents where parts shat themselves then says it’s way over budget. An actual explanation is definitely missing from the article.

          The F-35 program has so far cost us 7 times (adjusted for inflation) what it cost us to go to the fucking moon for a plane that only works 30 percent of the time.

          You don’t need to be a ‘tankie’ (a word I doubt you could define) to recognize that that is a ripoff.

          Capitalists should be furious about this obvious fucking grift to funnel tax payer money to the board members of defense companies.

          The inevitable collapse of the west is going to come as complete shock to people like you. The writing is on the wall but you are just to smug and self assured to even contemplate it.

          I do feel sorry for you, because ultimately you’ve been hoodwinked by a very effective propaganda machine that is going to feed you into a mulcher to prolong the failing Western hegemony.

            It’s not, but I’m sure that’s hard to believe when you need to hate me because I disagreed with you on a point of factual statistics.

            I don’t know what this has to be with the F35 failure rate

            ultimately you’ve been hoodwinked by a very effective propaganda machine that is going to feed you into a mulcher to prolong the failing Western hegemony.

            We’re being fed to the same mulcher, man. You’re not owning class, we’re both gonna die in World War 3.

            It seems like you have a lot of assumptions about me and what I believe

              So, when you call us tankies it’s all fine and dandy, but the moment someone responds, they are hating on you? Lol

              And yet you won’t respond to the comment that points out that this awesome plane that only works a third of the time cost 7 times more than the entire fucking Apollo program from start to finish.

              It was a grift.

              A scam.

              A con.

              The sole purpose of that plane is to steal the money that you work for and pay taxes on and give it to rich people.

              That’s it.

              That’s what you are defending.

              The largest scam probably in human history.
