Boeing received $115,000,000,000 just from 2020-2024. Per report by @quincyinst.bsky.social & @costsofwar.bsky.social

Screenshot of a joint study by the Costs of War project and Quincy Institute Infographic at top reads: From 2020-2024, 54% of the Pentagon’s discretionary spending of $4.4 trillion went to military contractors. Body text: During these five years, the U.S. government invested over twice as much money in five weapons companies as in diplomacy and international assistance. Between 2020 and 2024, $771 billion in Pentagon contracts went to just five firms: Lockheed Martin ($313 billion), RTX (formerly Raytheon, $145 billion), Boeing ($115 billion), General Dynamics ($116 billion), and Northrop Grumman ($81 billion). By comparison, the total diplomacy, development, and humanitarian aid budget, excluding military aid, was $356 billion.

Intensely difficult day here. Probably will be way too online. 🤣

Glad to hear my experience of this day was not universal, though.
