❌ This video supposedly showing the U.S. Navy launching an object into the water wasn't recent — rather, it was from 2015. Also, the object wasn't a truck; it was a sled that can be retrieved from the bottom of the river.
that supposedly showed a truck being launched via a catapult off the deck of the USS Gerald Ford. The video was accompanied by a message suggesting that the United States could easily afford to pay for the Green New Deal proposed in Congress or Medicare for all since the Navy was wasting so much money dumping trucks into the water:
The text overlaid on the video reads:"Trucks were just launched off the USS Gerald Ford aircraft carrier to test its jet catapult system. Don't ever let anyone tell you we can't afford Medicare for all or the Green New Deal."This incident didn't"just" happen. The video is from 2015. These sleds can be retrieved from the bottom of the river.
Economic estimates for the proposed Green New Deal or Medicare for All vary, but they can't be compared to the cost of a few wasted pickup trucks. This viral clip originated with a video uploaded to the U.S. Navy's YouTube page in 16 June 2015 and shows a test of the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System , a catapult system designed to launch aircraft. At the time, the Navy was using dead loads to mimic the weight of an aircraft:The viral Facebook video suggests that the Navy was being wasteful, as these"trucks" were lost and left to decay in the water. But that's not always the case.
