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.

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.
