“We Send Them All to Israel”
September 20, 2024
A new friend works at a plant here in Auburn, Alabama that makes armored vehicles. He said they buy $60,000 Toyota Highlanders, strip them down to the engine and chassis, armor plate them, make the floors bomb proof, put the seats back in (!), and “we send them all to Israel” for $175,000 each. I didn’t ask him who pays the bill but I will next time. I’m guessing it’s “Uncle Sam,” a.k.a. us.
