    Yeah honestly it’s pretty clear that nobody in the government right now understands how much of a watershed moment this is. We used to build the best shit, period. Now we build the best shit, except we’re fickle as fuck and the shit is also so complicated that there’s no feasible way to determine if we stuffed a kill switch in there somewhere.

      You don’t need a kill switch. If you’re flying F35 and the US decides to cut you off, you won’t get replacement parts. Some repairs are only available in the US, so your fancy bird won’t fly much longer
