I believe the article said the prices may be short lived due to renewed fighting.
Just wait until Trump starts trying to collect his 20% fee.

Tell us how the government does things better than the private sector. Is it the waste or fraud. Could it be the ineptness? Favoritism?

I think he'll have a problem collecting. I think that was a Trumpism sarcastic remark.

You made the claim, back it up with facts.

It's not sarcasm if you're serious.

I don't believe that we have been visited. This is a piece of Neil deGrasse Tyson's take -

Tyson often points out several reasons why he remains highly skeptical of UFO/UAP sightings and alien visitation claims:

Lack of Concrete Evidence: He emphasizes that in the modern era of ubiquitous high-resolution smartphone cameras and streaming technology, there has never been a definitive, clear video or physical artifact presented to prove visitation.Flawed Scientific

Logic: He notes that simply because something in the sky is "unidentified" does not automatically mean it is a visiting alien.

The "Ego" of Human Importance: Tyson has argued that an alien species capable of crossing the vast distances of the galaxy would be vastly more advanced than humanity. He playfully points out the human hubris in assuming such an advanced civilization would travel across the cosmos just to abduct livestock, create crop circles, or buzz military airspace

I have read that he has somewhat changed his tune, a bit:

"Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson has shifted from outright UFO skeptic to engaging with the UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) debate, driven by recent congressional testimonies and Pentagon file releases. However, he continues to demand hard physical proof, famously challenging the government to show the alien instead of releasing ambiguous documents."

Solstice just needs to tell him that it's as stupid as arguing with people over whether leprechauns exist.

You can look at all the whistle blower stuff, whatever videos have been released.  What is most important to me is that it's been going on for 80 years and apparently as far back in '48 we had been exposed enough to it that a major general and government felt confident that they could predict when they would reappear.  It's something ... it's not just nothing.  Doesn't mean it's aliens, but if it's not us, then who could it be?

"...Trump is America’s biggest national security threat

Of all the responsibilities assigned to an American president, none is more important than keeping the country safe from its enemies. Yet, the U.S. has rarely, if ever, been as vulnerable as it is today under President Trump. He has become our greatest national security threat. .."

The government is slower and regulated. The private sector is simply competitive and faster.

To people with a brain, the fact that we have testimony and documents showing our government has been studying this for 80 years, means something.  I am sure that's in part why Neil changed his tune a bit.  It makes no sense that our government would invest any resources in this, much less to the extent they have and just to keep their findings secret for 80 years, if it's all nonsense like believing in leprechauns.
