This is such a stupid headline. It gives no context for that number. Is that big or small compared to other years? Is it big compared to other countries’s military contractors? What does ‘made’ mean? Is this revenue or profit?
It’s obviously intended to make us outraged because it’s a big number, but the article actually said it went down by 3% last year. Why wasn’t that the headline?
The US will never start stirring conflicts, as the industrial machine will always want more blood, more bombs, more money. This is why we engage in forever wars. Instead of using money to enrich people’s lives and provide services to those in need, we line the pockets of “defense” contractors.
I mean why do you think our yearly military budget is getting closer to 1 trillion dollars? We slave our asses to death and fund this shit, and watch execs make millions while we are barely making it.
