previously proposed rules giving the US military the right to repair its equipment without having to rely on contractors have gone missing

This is particularly stupid. Soldiers need the ability to fix their gear in the field with or without a contractor's blessing.

Late stage capitalism is just this meme, but with an executive instead of Jesus, for everything humans do
