He aha ka hui i loaʻa i ke kālā nui loa mai ke aupuni US? ʻO ka pane: ʻo ka mea hana mea kaua ʻo Lockheed Martin.

ʻO nā hoʻolālā kālā hou i lawe mai i ka hauʻoli i ka puʻuwai o hoʻokahi pūʻulu o nā ʻAmelika ʻilihune: nā luna kiʻekiʻe o nā mea kaua nui e like me Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, a me General Dynamics.

A e hoʻomanaʻo ʻoe, e like me nā hui ʻē aʻe a pau o US, e pōmaikaʻi nui ana kēlā mau pūʻali koa-ʻoihana behemoths mai ka hoʻokele Trump ʻana i ka ʻauhau ʻauhau hui.

Nā mea i paʻa nā piliona kālā hou i loko o ke kālā kālā 2019 i manaʻo ʻia e Trump, ua hoʻokomo ʻia ʻo Lockheed Martin's overpriced, underperforming F-35 mokulele, ma $10.6 biliona; ʻO ka Boeing F-18 "Super Hornet," i ke kaʻina hana e hoʻopau ʻia e ke aupuni Obama akā ua kākau ʻia i kēia manawa no $2.4 biliona; ʻO Northrop Grumman's B-21 nuclear bomb ma $2.3 biliona; ʻO General Dynamics 'Ohaio-class ballistic missile submarine ma $3.9 biliona; a $ 12 ieeeea? no ka nui o nā polokalamu pale kaua e hoʻonui hou i ka pōmaikaʻi o… ua manaʻo ʻoe: Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, a me Boeing, ma waena o nā hui ʻē aʻe.
