Cost of a PAC-3/MSE is $4-5M, let's go with $4.5M * 1800 = $8,100,000,000 in defensive missiles alone.

And the future ones will probably cost more because China has been lowering it's exports of rare earths

    I think it's like driving a manual transmission car in the US. You have more control and are more in tune with your car, but when you're stuck in bumper to bumper stop and go traffic it sucks ass. Similarly some people make it their identity and that's where the memes come from.

    I think that last part is key, it's a good skill to have. It's easy to think it'll be everyone on their own when the apocalypse happens, but people generally want to work together if it means better chances of survival.

    It's hard to imagine there wouldn't be tribes of people popping up across the wasteland
