82% Informative

Audit reveals eye-watering amount the Pentagon spends on miscellaneous items like soap dispensers, tape, screws and ventilation fans.

DailyMail.com estimates the cumulative dollar amount of this overcharging from 2018 to 2022 would have cleared $4.2 million .

Boeing has already been accused of myriad flight safety issues, and stranding two NASA astronauts in space.

Boeing has struggled to bounce back from the economic and PR damage caused by two fatal crashes of its 737 Max passenger jets in 2018 and 2019 .

This past July , Boeing announced it would issue a guilty plea in Texas court to one felony count of conspiracy to defraud the government for misleading regulators over sketchy but approved 'pilot training rules' for the 737 Max .

And, this October , Boeing reported over $6 billion in losses in its 2024 third-quarter financial statements.
