    Fake news! It’s actually $38 billion.

      The meme specifically calls out subsidies, but that article includes contracts, which thanks to a complete lack of competition includes things like being the only launch provider for ISS missions

        I’m just trying to shitpost in a meme community here. Though, if we want to split hairs, “subsidies” can include government contracts to purchase goods and services:

        A subsidy has a very particular meaning under the Subsidies Agreement and U.S. law (Title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930). A subsidy is defined as a “financial contribution” by a government which provides a benefit. The forms that a subsidy can take include:

        • a direct transfer of funds (e.g., a grant, loan, or infusion of equity);
        • a potential transfer of funds or liabilities (e.g., a loan guarantee);
        • foregone government revenue (e.g., a tax credit); or
        • the purchase of goods, or the provision of goods or services (other than general infrastructure).

    I’m sure one of the purposes of DOGE is to secure more money for Elon.

    The US could begin to rebuild if not save its dis•integrating democracy in some part by deporting self-serving fascist billionaire immigrants
