Wild graphic. US spending on one flying killing machine (the F-35) is comparable to total spending on the Marshall plan to reconstruct Europe after WWII, or the interstate highway system, or all datacenters combined. Priorities!

I don't think that's right - the scale is logarithmic. The Marshall Plan is 20 times as expensive

And this is why I hate log scale graphs. Even in the cases where it does have a useful effect, 90%+ of people are still going to interpret it in a linear way and therefore make it massively misleading.

It’s hazardous to blend fixed and variable costs.
