    Wow, more than a billion! Remind me again, how much does one single Lockheed Martin F-35 cost? How much money did the NYPD cost in police misconduct settlements last year? And how much did the pentagon just lose last time it was audited?

      Here you go: F-35 costs $80m. NYPD 2022 payouts $121m. Pentagon failed its audit by at least a couple hundred billion out of 3 trillion budget, though technically that isn’t money lost, that is the total records that auditors weren’t able to access during the audit.
