There's litterally only one company left which can manufacture ICBMS.

Northrop grumman. Through shrewed lobby's, regulatory capture, redicoulous red-tape and severe backstreet blackmail has taken over all ICBM manufacture responsibility.

And its costing us.. Not just money, but also time.

The sentinel program will now be 2 years late and cost 4x as much (nearly 400 BILLION) and there's no one else to turn to. Our politicical lapdogs enjoy a sweet under the table kickback along with thier constituents.

Every capable talent is poached, every startup bought up.

I actually know some people who work at Northrop Gruman making over 180k+ a year to do 30 mins of work a day.as if being paid a retainer fee to be unnavailable for potential competitors to hire. The work they do? Signing irrelevant paperwork as their skills and ambition atrophies away. This isthe extreme sideof corruption and unfettered capatalism.

Is this new? Last I knew Boeing, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin all still manufacturer ICBM's

Boeing was the last competitor and fell out 2 years ago entirely, stating unfair regulation and policy from government in the industry- all favoring gruman
