Lobster and crab go to the troops, we had surf and turf every so often in Afghanistan. Golf cars are probably for the base golf courses, and maybe for utility needs.
Codex One of the ways that journalists knew something was up is that all nighters meant pizza deliveries. Staff does need to eat and get sugar in a crisis.
re: Dora the Explorer stickers. Don't forget that the DoD operates over 160 schools in 11 foreign countries and has more than 67,000 students enrolled in those schools. It's one of the biggest school "districts" in the US.
I'll say that most of these expenses don't really bother me, given the size of the US Military. I'm more concerned about how much larger those biggest numbers are going to get now that a certain executive keeps lobbing missiles at a country with whole he scrapped a nuclear deal while swearing he could do better.
Unrelated, but homelessness in the US is up 18% over the last couple of years.
According to the National Alliance to end Homelessness, homelessness hit a peak of 771,000 people in 2024 before seeing a slight decline of about 3% to roughly 745,000 in 2025. Data has not been released for 2026 since the year is still in progress.
data from that source cited by Benjamin: "The United States experienced an unprecedented rise in homelessness, driven by the nation’s affordability crisis. Homelessness increased 18 percent, from 653,104 people during the 2023 Point-in-Time (PIT) Count to 771,480 people during the 2024 PIT."

Care package to Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School? I'd rather them send stickers than what they did send.
DeleteI am still stuck on $10 million worth of lobster, crab, and golf carts.

DeleteWhat part of this is supposed to be scandalous
ReplyDeleteGood question. Why is government spending only a bad thing when Democrats are in power?
DeleteDon't have a problem. Defense is one of the few duties of government. Now do welfare, education, foreign aid, on and on

From pizza to lobster.
Aren't Dora The Explorer stickers a violation of the ban on DEI?
