Colossal Obsidian Sphere in the Bay

Food for thought: if the US cut just 2% of its annual defense budget it could afford to construct a colossal obsidian sphere in the San Francisco Bay. On top of the obvious economic benefits, it would be visible throughout all of northern California and emanate an ominous hum!

An aerial view shows a gigantic black sphere hovering over San Francisco Bay, with the city and coastline below. The joke proposes spending a tiny portion of the U.S. defense budget on an absurdly ominous megastructure, presenting its unsettling hum and visibility as economic benefits.
