US military budget: $850 billion

US National Institutes of Health indirect costs: $9 billion

@luckytran they’re getting excited about saving a few million on unused government buildings but apparently forgot they’re also doing an RTO order and are probably gonna need those buildings

@luckytran can't invade Gaza, Greenland, or Panama with the NIH ... 😞
