Looking through the history looks a bit suspicious. Even if the questionable bids were removed, it’s still likely to be 100k+ for the username!

Edit: Closer to $15k right now lol.

How is that bad? The girls get a foot into Raytheon that they probably wouldn't anyway, because the industry is sexist. And Raytheon gets to pad their diversity numbers and still have high quality employees.

I don't want the money I donated to be used for the benefit of the MIC.

We shouldn’t be glorifying weapons manufacturers. They make things to kill people.

It's like the hangman problem, but with skill involved... yes they make things that kill people. That's the entire point. Where else do people think their freedom comes from, other than others having to dream up death and destruction. I think broadening their workforce might lead to less damaging ideas, that's the hope usually with these initiatives.
