With the knowledge I have about how this place operates, I am pi---d as a taxpayer. How about you?

Yes however I'm pi---d as an American at more than L3H:
A government which has knowingly and willingly violated and ignored the US Constitution for almost its entire existence!
A government which is wholly owned and controlled by global elites, banks/financial interests, big oil, big pharma, big academia, military industrial complex and foreign countries.
The corruption in the "defense industry" is small change compared to what the US government has done to the American people and the world!
Treason charges, trials and executions are mandatory to save the republic!
@dk those are nice thoughts.
But the masses will never go for it. Most people are content being tax cattle as long as they can somewhat maintain their lifestyles.
Even if politicians get elected on a platform that encompasses everything you mentioned, they will inevitably go against their constituents' wishes and make the taxpayers bail out the palantir and anthropic execs when their garbage absolutely up-ends the economy.
@cj
A few ideas come to mind.
Withdraw support of the two political parties
Boycott Israel
Sell out Israel and cut a deal with Iran
Tax strike
All are peaceful, non-violent solutions.
Among 3 defense companies I have worked with, L3Harris (Clifton) has been the worst of all.
Yes, but to be honest it's more of systemic dysfunction, waste, fraud, and abuse that that's spans decades. Wish I could pin it all on L3H, but they are ultimately a small (and getting smaller) part of the grander clusterfu-k that is military defense operations in the United States.
Taxpayers are absolutely being defrauded, but what are we going to do about it ultimately
@OP Not sured pi---d is the right word but the military acquisition process has been dysfunctional for decades. The current administration is trying to change but little incremental changes aren't going to get the job done. Nothing unique about L3Harris.
Why do Iranian trolls care about The Layoff.com?
I know nothing about L3, but it is beyond obvious Americans are getting ripped off like nobody can believe. Iran is the latest proof. They spend 1% of what we do on defense, yet they destroyed our bases, made our carrier battle groups stand off by hundreds of miles and they now control the Persian Gulf. They've shot down F-35s, too. (I don't think that they go to war at the direction of other countries, either, like the USA does.)
Defense spending in America ought to be slashed by hundreds of billions, clearly. But, Congress will increase spending, as we know, and reward failure, as we know. And loot and bankrupt America as long as they possibly can, all while claiming we have the greatest military anyone's ever seen.
