Just now wondering if my marginal autism keeps me from engaging with chatbots. I don't think I've spent a total of 2 minutes trying them out. All I got was annoyed at their wasting time with empty affirmations.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.
This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

I appreciate you taking the time. I read the report in the past. Many things. VA doesn't do a good job of negotiating price. See attached. Same drug at @costplusdrugs is 33c per pill.
You don't mention transparency at all. No m4all will work without complete transparency.

In the 1970s, a minimum wage summer job paid for my tuition, a $1000 for a full year of tuition at a state university. Adjusted for inflation, that's about $7000 now.
That univ. now charges $20,000 for residents.
Today's minimum wage after taxes, might take almost 2 years to cover today's tuition.
