I only know about the "ink printer" or "Gillette" aspect of the aid contracts. How does the money get back to fixing potholes? You mean through taxes on the consumables?
He's a liar who has no idea what he's talking about. "Do your own research" style moron. I'm sure his dad works at Nintendo.
Please don't waste both of our time by replying to comments you have not read.
Good lord you're infuriatingly stupid. That isn't at all the subject of the article I linked, and you didn't even read my comment!? "The game of define words" is a game YOU played, not me, moron, by conflating 2 sentences about "freely given" and "profits" without thinking for even a fraction of a second about WHO the weapons are being given to, and WHO is making the profits!
Enough with the "do your own research" bullshit. Either explain yourself or fuck off.
I have explained myself. I don't see a reason to hold your hand and explain things that are beyond your comprehension to you, when I can just ask you to research before having an opinion on a subject you know nothing of. Personally I think you have all the rights in the world to be as wrong as you want, but I will of course call you out on it. Being misinformed unfortunately seems to be fashionable and it's either that or plain laziness to research into it that makes you wrong.
