Define waste? Is waste having more aircraft carriers than the rest of the world combined? Is waste starting wars where there’s no enemy? Is waste refusing to let other countries clean up their own messes? It seems that the people who whine the loudest about spending want to cut everything except military spending. If…

Well, obviously it’s a moral question of whether you perceive spending money on ensuring that the poor and elderly are not living in abject squalor as “waste” versus spending spending insane amounts of money on what is essentially corporate welfare to pad the balance sheets of huge multinational defense contractors.

Cal…

This is just one example of thousands. Add it all up. It becomes trillions. Apparently reading comprehension isn’t vital to your occupation....

For those who can’t seem to grasp the kind of math that Chariot is talking about his departments entire yearly budget is 31 billion and if any minute increases are even suggested people freak the fuck out while 42 million has effectively disappeared into a gas station and no one seems to care. He’s not making a point…

The problem is that some people tend to consider things like making sure Grandma doesn’t freeze in winter or a black child can read “waste”.

I would add the AM Rapide as well

I care because bang for the tax dollar buck. Year after year, our research industry struggles on life support to scratch out even flat-lined funding levels. $31 billion is a mere drop in the federal budget itself, but when anyone proposes adding even a few million onto that, congressmen, etc. get all, “we can’t afford…

Guess which one will get their budget slashed first in the interests of “saving money”?

Boing!

People love the satellite view of these islands. But I had NO idea they were this far south.

To put this in my perspective, the entire requested 2016 budget of the National Institutes of Health, which funds the lion’s share of biomedical research in the U.S., keeps many thousands of researchers like me employed, and enables virtually all of the ground-breaking research in this country that will save uncounted…

This shit is fucking disgusting. This is OUR money being siphoned off into the pockets of military contractors and consultants. It makes me absolutely furious. Our military spending is ludicrous and the system is completely broken, yet anyone who tries to challenge this is accused of being soft on global threats and…

Bro Diesel Trucks, all of them. If you roll coal, you’re getting a fist sandwich.

I’ll let the video speak for itself.

Those roof rails are a crime against humanity.

Gimme a new speed3 already~.

The most beautiful of them all.

Ugh. C’mon Mazda, make this happen.

I don’t have (or want) kids, but I can think of three ways I’d have use for a wagon off the top of my head: junkyard parts as you said, room for my large dog to be comfortable in the back, and a place to put my bike if I want to take it to a park or the beach or somewhere.

Back in the early 80’s, when I first started to skydive in California City, CA., out in the middle of the desert, we did a couple of neked skydives.... you know, when it was really hot. The feeling of the wind rushing through your hair is something else. You just make sure the “boys” aren’t caught under the leg straps…
