If you’re worried about cost of a home in America you live in the wrong place, because you chose where to live. And our highway system and low gasoline/deisel prices make it rather negligible to drive 45 minutes to an hour to commute to work. In more urbanized areas you might commute 90 or more if you want a cheaper home. The only problem is self imposed.
use automobile to make cost of living lower?. Is the Tyre industry not dependent on rubber and all the energy chemicals needed to produce it. Isnt that waste of labor? I can show you 100 other inputs like clean water supply losses.
The F-35 is a 50 states wide jobs program. The industrial base is immune to anything save for cataclysmic interruptions.
each small sub contractor will have bank loan to keep them afloat. And they will need audited financial statements to get the loans from the banks. Its big finance operations to keep the subcontractors afloat. On top of that it is 50% built outside US. and it will have to deal with cost of transport and currency fluctuation.
Most importantly, because the subcontracting is farmed out with minimal input from 3rd parties, the parts are solely built off serialized spec sheets without revealing information to the provider other than parts numbers and critical design specifications, its practically impossible for anyone but the actual design house to use political cronyism. And because it would be so costly as a winning bidder on the main contract to get caught up in politics, it becomes a solely results driven venture. Small minds cannot grasp these big picture goals.
create so big numbers of sub contractors. you are creating vast layer of management across the firms that try squeeze profits from each other.
less landing. less stress on airframe and tyres. This is called flying six sigma for attack and transport with same engine.
Actually the subcontractors that build the tiniest parts have no clue what their contribution to the project does. They are just making parts to match design specs. The key is the tight control of the specs. You’re actually improving your fundamental manufacturing base with this strategy, not wasting it.
you are never going to improve manufacturing base rather adding army of bean counters aka cost accountants, lawyers (each firm will defend there position if there is dispute) sales people, transportation, security.
see hourly rise in house prices where F-35 built. no amount of Six sigma can solve it.

Why bother working? Your house could be making more money than you do
Canadian PM statement that Canada provide steel and aluminium for US weopon industry. now Canada is in North. Canadian making money out of US are likely buying stuff from China. I don’t think MIG need this six sigma until this point.
you can see this efficiency in transporting attack helicopters over long distance with fuel tanks. let see how many choppers can do that. it shows strong manufacturing base.
