Not only is the United States war budget larger than the next 10 countries COMBINED — not only is the US military the largest institutional emitter of greenhouse gas POLLUTION in the history of the world — but the Pentagon cannot even properly account for all its bloated spending!
______________________________
The Pentagon just failed its audit — again. For the sixth time in a row, the agency that accounts for half the money Congress approves each year can’t figure out what it did with all that money.
The Pentagon has *never* passed an audit. Until 2018, it had never even completed one.
No other federal agency could get away with this. There would be congressional hearings. There would be public outrage.

@danlyke "a level playing field" is never fair when cars are allowed, unobstructed, in the same space as unarmored people.
"We need rules and designs that control the most powerful road users, and protects and empowers the most vulnerable." 👆 #bollards to constrain car speed and limit the unprotected space to one lane with a refuge between lanes, where you can look the other way and deal with one driver at a time.
@marcelias
"on the ballot in 10 states."
Just 10. Not all 50.
B/c all they need is for #RFK to siphon off just enough votes in 10 close states to help #DarthTraitor win via the #ElectoralCollege once again.
I repeat this anecdote a lot so forgive me if you've heard it, but ...
... my Ukrainian-Canadian grandfather ran his dairy farm using a 1960s-era truck ...
which was by today's standards *tiny*: Lower-slung, small cab
But!
It was *more usable* than today's monstrosities
It had a longer bed than today's trucks; being lower-slung made loading/unloading easier
Again: He ran a whole-ass farm with this vehicle; drove over rough terrain
Few people *need* today's bloated, paramilitary trucks
Protesters blockaded both entrances to the Raytheon facility for ~1.5 hours.
Some Raytheon workers slowly drove their vehicles into the crowd; others revved their engines threateningly. while the crowd held their ground.

If you're wondering how putting the oil and gas guy in charge of COP28 is going.
Guardian: "Cop28 president says there is ‘no science’ behind demands for phase-out of fossil fuels
