    Ah well. I’m sure all those millions of school children will be happy to go without lunch for a few months to pay for a new one.

      We’ll just send a Tomahawk their way if they complain too loudly. We still have plenty of those, right?

          Raytheon said they can increase production rates to meet the new demand by changing the distribution in components.

          One model is laser-focused on payload and guidance without the uneccessary extravagance of engine or fuselage, Type B is designed for complimentary tactical versatility with engine and fuselage but avoiding the burdensome payload or guidance. Additional models are coming next quarter.

          Thanks to these and other advanced enovashuns ™, Raytheon reports 100% production increases and 50% weight savings.

          Naturally this will all be offset by dynamic surge pricing, another Raytheon enovashun ™, so the units will be priced somewhere between $250 million USD and California.

          Charging them interest on the costs of the lunch that they weren’t going to receive is definitely going above and beyond!
