This is so fucking disgusting. We ought to be tarring and feathering these execs and their largest investors, then taking their wealth for the public benefit.
Do you think that if the US stopped making weapons then everyone else would also just stop?
Idiots like you holding back progress.
He makes a good point. The only way to solve it is to use all our weapons at once on the enemy destroying their weapons. Then when we run out they run out too so no one can fight anymore. Solved.
He makes a lazy, stupid non point. “Well this red herring should be enough to keep people from changing anything.”

Dwight D. Eisenhower warned us about this ages ago.
If only people could have heard this message back then, then this all could have been avoided
Seems like some people heard it loud and clear… and invested accordingly.
You’re so right.
Eisenhower: “people, hear my warning or this terrible thing will happen”
Bastards: “He’s right, we can get rich from making that bad thing he’s warning about happen.”
The last decent Republican president we’ve had.

I prefer rule 35 :(
Peace is good for business.
What’s this gif from
Lower Decks, an animated Star Trek comedy. It honors and references all things Trek and is considered canon. Starts off a bit too Rick and Morty, but finds it’s own ground as it goes.
Peace Sells…but Who’s Buying?
It should be illegal to make a profit off of weapons of war.
Any product fabrication is so much more than the actual product. For a weapon you need steel, machinery, oil etc. Technically the petrol station near the factory also profits from the weapon factory. Where do you draw the line who can profit from it? Until it is legal to produce any weapon someone somewhere in the chain will profit from it. In a capitalist setting this cannot just vanish.
The part where I’m talking about targeting is manufacture and development. It’s not realistic to penalize steel and petrol and other materials because that gets too messy and complicated.
Weapons should be manufactured only by one’s government for express use in defense. No one should get paid more than a modest salary (something fair for their labor; I hadn’t given it thought enough to say more than that at this time), no one in charge should make huge salaries or bonuses, it should be a thing people do because it pays rather than because of enrichment. Like how no one gets massively wealthy delivering mail or hauling garbage; sure, you can do quite well in some instances, but you’re doing it to put food on the table rather than to gain power.
Sorry that I haven’t more developed thoughts at this moment. But something roughly resembling this is what I had in mind when I posted the prior comment.
Profiteering off of the suffering of others should be illegal.
Your tax dollars at work. Fuck you if you have student loans, we’d rather spend our money making our shareholders rich though genocide.
“Across the entire Raytheon portfolio, you’re going to see a benefit of this restocking,” he told shareholders.
Reads like a cringy villian in a sci-fi movie

“Hey Bob, you taking part of the wholesale slaughter of innocent people for fun and profit today?”, “Ha ha, you know it!” /s
Obvious statement is obvious.
Fun fact: when countries use weapons to blow each other up, whomever is left always wants to buy more weapons.
War is a racket

Really it’s Hamas’s war on the Palestinians and Israelis, funded by Netanyahu. Hamas has been e.g. shooting Palestinian civilians who want to leave the front lines – the kind of thing Russia does to its draftees.
You got any sources for your bullshit lies?
What front lines? The whole of Gaza is encircled and the air strikes are occurring everywhere.
Said with your whole ass chest yet hollow and baseless. Typical.
