Damnit - I scheduled this to publish before I added the DOD FY 2019 report. I had a few minutes in between my bean flicking and bonbon consumption- below is the 2019 F-35 Report. Apologies for not including it in the original publication https://www.dote.osd.mil/Portals/97/pub/reports/FY2019/dod/2019f35jsf.pdf?ver=2020-01-30-115432-173

You guys do understand that the F-35 program has cost taxpayers a metric phuckton of money - for example if you pull the DOD Comptroller Reports

fiscal year 2021, saw a MASSIVE $32.4 MILLION dollar price increase from the 2020 “model” F-35A

2020 production cost $77.9 million versus 2021 production cost of NOW $110.3 million per F-35A with zero substantive changes. Damnit I wish I could retweet my threads from Sept thru Dec 2020 - I did a lot of research but here’s the DOD link - you can run comps and see I’m on the money for increased cost

Today has been a day where I can’t help but notice on my news streams how often we hear about taxpayers dollars being wasted or misused. It truly is baffling, I’d love to know how much we lose to bs each year.

If you can't dazzle em with brilliance, baffle em with bullshit. It's disgusting how much money is wasted in government. All while I attempt to survive on SSI.
