why is the only superpower in the world struggling to make basic missiles and ammo?

It's a guess(Idk It's right or wrong) :
The companies bought out politicians and secured their monopoly on production. Since they're monopoly, the production is now inefficient
>>
>>540527675
Guns and ammo are actually the two things we're still good at making. The government is just fucking retarded and run by corrupt pedophiles.
I can buy a $400 American made AR-15 right now but the government will several times that for an m4 of worse quality.

Not true. They are extremely good at corruption. Can they make good shit in reasonable time? Yes. But they can also earn billions of biden bucks by being corrupt. Trump himself earned likes 5-6 billions during his 2 terms. This is no longer a country. Its a fuckin economic zone.

Competency crisis and corruption.

This is the kind of shit that happened right before the USSR fell. Factories that build nothing getting massive amounts of funding but passing bribes to politicians and money moving around to pump up the GDP.
>>
>>540527675
It's just another racket probably. Some kind of a front to a jew money laundering scheme, just like most of America.

The MIC only cares about making profits to appease the shareholders. As long as the line goes up every quarter and private investors are satisfied with their dividends then nothing else matters. You would need to overrule the Dodge v. Ford to actually implement any meaningful change.
>>
That would require spending money on getting proper manufacturing equipment, hiring/training/paying employees.
Notice how it even says in the article they want to use old machines to produce modern things? This whole thing is a scam. Who ever built that is a friend of some elected official.

I can tell. As a Californian I've developed a strong sense of this type of corruption. It is what has destroyed my home state. Well that and faggotry

Because manufacturing has all gone to China. If you only knew how retarded it was here, you'd understand why.

i've been saying it for years, teh compartmentalization is a double edged sword that can only be done well when competency is highest and postions are filled by meritocratic practices but thats not true anymore it worked in the past because standards were higher, now if you can cheat your way with ai and nepotism or lip filler for your dick sucking game you can slide into almost any position you want regardless of your actual ability, so what happens is the compartmentalization becomes decay and no one notices before its too late, what we need to do is consolidate and actually tear down walls so we can see the rot so to speak, we need to be able to audit and oversee what the us government is actually paying for and whats actually going on under the hood its the first step in the plan i have to get us back on track and i've put thousands of hours of thought into this while im grinding playing games, not that anyone cares or i can even do anything to signal boost it.

Western society has lifted billions out of poverty. Meanwhile the rest of the world is still rooted in failed forms of government that are stuck in the 8th century run by lords and religious clerics with whatever weapons and tech they could scrounge from the west.

Ive actually read the article.
This was back in the early days of ukraine. They wanted a ton of munitions for cheap.
The idea is that they initially were budgeted for something like 100 million dollars, to change some missile printing machines produced in the 1980's to make newer missiles. First the factory itself needed a ton more money, but then the first batch of missiles came out and it wasnt up to spec and doesnt actually work because the calculations were fucked. The factory blames outsourcing, but I doubt it.
All in all, i thought everyone knew this fact already: fast, cheap, good. Pick only two

Western economies are design economies, not manufacturing economies. There's no need to make physical products in factories when you can outsource that elsewhere for cheaper and simply continue designing the product. The west is the leader in AI, electronics, space launches & satellites, and a host of other tech.

Because their military-industrial complex went full increase-profits-above-all-else mode just like the rest of American industry, so when demand for shells dropped massively at the end of the Cold War they let that part of their business wither away to the absolute bare minimum to save costs.

Every part of the Patriot missile sits in direct opposition to being manufactured at scale. Their entire tech stack- from the fuel to the attitude control to the guidance system- are artisanal modernized versions of 1970's tech. If Ukraine was allowed to reverse-engineer them, they wouldn't start making them from scratch. They would completely redesign the rocket from the ground-up using modern electronics and manufacturing techniques, and would probably also turn the Patriot system into a modular system with reconfigurable warhead and booster modules with different costs and capabilities. It would be a decades-overdue reckoning that the US wants to avoid.
