In mother America, car IDE's you!

Joking aside — how the fuck are they getting away with this shit?! A company with zero armored car experience (fuck you, Cybertruck) gets a 400M government contract out of the blue? While the CEO of said company is employed by the same government, and a personal "friend" of the president?!

Seriously, if corporations are people, when the fuck are they going to start screaming their heads off?! Are none of the American car manufacturers enraged by this?!

America is so completely fucked.
