Billionaires truly believe they deserve our money. There is no need for earning because they see themselves as owners of it all from the start, entitled to fuck
I think I finally got over this for the most part after having to lead a team of juniors. At some point it just needs to be done and its like fear inoculation in that sense. Definitely not the same as pairing with someone you know is better than you tho lol
keep yelling into the void with this whataboutism bullshit, i see you just reply to yourself over and over lmao.
Anyway, it is absolutely NOT the same, not even because LM isn’t the goddamn US gov, but a contractor. The F-35 isn’t some wild pie in the sky bullshit that is completely unreasonable so they just throw money and slaves at it. In addition to this, you fail to realize (or conveniently fail to mention) just how much is actually learned from these projects. Does that make it worth it, not on it’s own but again that is orders of magnitude different then the projects the UAE push that this meme is referencing.
The F-35 Lightning II was conceived from the start of the project as having participation from many countries,** most of which would both contribute to the manufacture of the aircraft and procure it for their own armed forces. While the United States is the primary customer and financial backer, the United Kingdom, Italy, the Netherlands, Canada, Turkey, Australia, Norway and Denmark agreed to contribute US$4.375 billion toward the development costs of the program.**[1] Total development costs are estimated at more than US$40 billion, while the purchase of an estimated 2,400 planes is expected to cost an additional US$200 billion.[2] Norway has estimated that each of their planned 52 F-35 fighter jets will cost their country $769 million over their operational lifetime.[3] The nine major partner nations, including the U.S., plan to acquire over 3,100 F-35s through 2035,[4] which, if delivered will make the F-35 one of the most numerous jet fighters.
Jet fighters are not dumbass shit. Fucking full stop. Just look how impactful air superiority has been in Ukraine. But nah, fuck off right? Just tell all those eastern countries that daddy putin will take care of em. No need to continue to modernize your defenses!
You cry this place is worse then reddit, so fucking LEAVE.
or defend a country from a fascist genociding dictator LIKE PUTIN. WE ARE SEEING IT IN REAL TIME. You think he’ll stop with Ukr?? The countries bordering Ru sure don’t think so, nor the rest of NATO.
Wake the fuck up, the world is far more complex than “don’t modernize any defense resources, nothing will ever happen except for the possibility of war criming others!”
Do ya see how fucking short sighted and ridiculous that is?
goddamn, just shut the fuck up. We can all see you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. Every single response is trying to provide context and nuance but you continue to cry and equate any military spending to the future commission of war crimes, while conveniently ignoring how close to wwiii we actually are.
Open your goddamn eyes and shut your goddamn mouth until you learn something about this shit you cry about.
While the United States is the primary customer and financial backer, the United Kingdom, Italy, the Netherlands, Canada, Turkey, Australia, Norway and Denmark agreed to contribute US$4.375 billion toward the development costs of the program.
hello whataboutism, what exactly about any of this post has anything to do with the US? There are many countries around the world that profit from slave labor, where is that in your whataboutism?
so what, do you tip in app and pay in cash on delivery? Because most drivers either will not take the order or take it and deliver it a long time after it was made because you tipped them nothing.
That’s what in-app tipping is really for, you’re bidding for service
Every time I hear this from one of my devs under me I get a little more angry. Such a meaningless statement, what are you gonna do, hand your pc to the fucking customer?

Do food delivery persons prefer cash tip?
Do you, as a person who delivers through DoorDash or UberEats or what have you, prefer to be tipped through the app or in cash?
