over budget, over schedule, can't hit half it's performance targets
or the M3 Bradley in its early stages
@Campin' Carl you're proving my point
i know
thank you
you could do this all day long
there simply are so many examples of the government fucking things up
for a nazi example
MP40 vs STG44
long story short, the gov will find a way to fuck anything up
When I worked for the civil courts. It was my job to help create stupid processes within the executive policies and procedures to ensure lengthy civil court processes from the back end.
It was creating a law for the law, but not saying it was a law per se`.
they had to hide the development of the STG44 under the guise of a submachine gun because hitler didnt want R&D going into rifles
hitler got a lot of things right, he was wildly off base with his anti-capitalism
@MsNatSocialist you have first hand experience with how bad this idea is, I don't understand how you can defend the socialism part of national socialism
as larpy as it sounds, national capitalism is the way forward
free markets inside our borders, protectionist policies when we engage with the outside world to protect our interests
what say you yuge of the idea of lending newly married couples some money and cutting 1/4 of the debt every time they have a baby
It was a legal way of changing laws without actually changing any laws and it being perfectly legal and cut off the middle man. It was sly and completely underhanded.
I left that job because the internal politics got too dirty.
i mean, it's not ideal but it'd be a better system than the current social safety net
it'd be better not to tax and spend in the first place
hmm
what say you of roads
@Campin' Carl i'd rather do that than pay a bunch of niggers to have kids
you know what you said before about internal and external trade policies was basically what australia started with
one could make an argument for roads, but you must understand it's going to have a tendency to become a black hole for money
one whole argument for federation was to create a strong external trade border but eliminating internal tariffs between states
infrastructure is important, I don't know anyone that does it well TBH
albert speer was good at that wasnt he?
At the end of the day, you've got to tax someone and it should only be tax to you if you use the facility or item.
I am 100% in favor of use fees
what are they then
roads are the biggest example of where pragmatism gets in the way of that
but most things could be more effectively funded through use fees rather than taxes
@Campin' Carl why did austraila move away from the free internal markets/protected trade engagements arrangement?
commies?
yeah
figures
we had em right up till the 90s
defense is one of the few areas of goverment expenditure that can be justified
regardless of who pays in, everyone inside a state's borders benefits from the spending, and it's not realistic to exclude those who don't pay in from benefitting
