2 trillion dollars for a plane that can't fly in rain.

2 trillion dollars for a plane that can’t fly in rain.

What kind of sorcery is this, we ask again?

The engineers must have been high on something strong,

You know how we all found out that Boeing had dry rotted from the inside because the 737 Max started falling apart? Whose to say that Lockheed hasn't gone through exactly the same shit, but we just barely get glimpses of it through the smoke of classified documents.

I would bet this is precisely the case because exact same selection pressures apply.

You’d think that the F-35 Lightning II, being a Lightning-type Pokémon, could survive lighting attacks.

Yeah, but it's flying / electric, so it still takes full damage from both water and electric moves. And if the weather is sleet, it's basically game over.

Would this be called a 'Boondoggle'?

I'd say standard operating procedure for the current bureaucratic regime.

I do believe that is the correct term
