We stayed there a week and we had Thanksgiving.
And as we leave, we need to make a Costco trip because we got to refill grandma's pantry.
because we've eaten everything in our pantry so we got to replenish all the bombs and stock and missiles and things that we've used up number one number two uh they're we're buying a bunch of stuff that that works and number three we're discovering just how valuable space force is and so we are radically increasing what's been spent on that and lastly
War is really good for business if you're a defense contractor.
The sad thing about war is the soulless, faceless defense contractors see it as a testbed, and they see it—they want war.
They want border skirmishes.
They want aircraft engagement with North Korea and China to just kind of test each other a little bit up there in the skies over the—
Sea of Japan.
They want that.
And this gives them an ability to test things.
And so this is the price tag.
This is the price tag of forward armament.
This is a price tag of adding space force.
This is also the price tag of refilling the pantry because we just used up all of our bombs.
