“Every year Pentagon contractors get more and more taxpayer dollars and then use some of that money to convince Congress to give them even more money next year. It’s a win-win-win for contractors, lobbyists, and Congress. The loser? American taxpayers who have to pay for this corrupt war profiteering.”

The Pentagon’s official estimate of the direct financial cost of the U.S. war on Iran is a nearly threefold undercount of the actual price tag of the war..
Accounting for armament use, troop deployments, and other factors, Semler estimated that the U.S. government spent $71.8 billion on the Iran war over the course of 60 days — an average of $1.2 billion per day.
The Pentagon’s $25 billion cost estimate suffers from “incomplete accounting of damaged or destroyed military assets, the exclusion of costs outside the department (including billions of dollars in State Department-funded military aid to Israel), and a flawed method for tracking munition expenditures.”

„A top Pentagon official on Wednesday said that the cost of the ongoing U.S. war with Iran is estimated to be $25 billion so far, as the conflict nears a 60-day mark.“
I'm trying to be careful how I talk about #OilPrices. I want #Americans to understand that there is a #CostOfWar in their lives, even if it's miniscule in comparison to the impact on people's lives in #Iran.
I want to avoid helping the #USA use oil prices as a #pretext for reopening the #StraitOfHormuz by force. And I worry that's the takeaway most Americans would have.
The case for medium-duty electric trucks (and vans, buses, and shuttles) gets better every day.
