It's insane that the intelligence community spends billions of dollars but none of it has gone towards a usable secure desktop operating system.

Maybe it’s because having the broken systems in use sometimes (often?) benefits the intelligence community.

The US intelligence community cares about that? All evidence points to them not caring about who gets killed.

Getting your sources killed significantly setbacks intelligence collecting activities.

My comment was about funding.
