Rule of Acquisition #34: War is good for business.
(They ignore Rule of Acquisition #35, “Peace is good for business.”)
Thats not the rule 34 I’m familiar with…
Oh, that’s Rule of Masturbation 34. Common mistake.
Thanks for this post. It’s crazy seeing every fucking politician in the EU clapping for increased military expenditure
Those that invest in war should instead invest in life and then we can boost the companies that keep life longer and consumers consuming longer. Strange how death and destruction can be more profitable than consumers consuming longer.
Well, the thing is, death and destruction isn’t more profitable. But that’s not the point. The point is to keep global hegemony by keeping the military-industrial-complex rich as fuck while at the same time getting bribes as “incentive”
For humanity as a whole, it’s all a net loss. Not only does the rocket cost resources, but so does the building that it blows up
These things kill consumers that don’t consume the right things and/or don’t consume in the right country.
And we didn’t do any war before the military industrial complex?
Not like this.
Well, yeah. Every war is different. You would’ve just cursed BIG SPEAR back when.
Yeah a single spear could easily kill hundreds at a time while the guy that made the spear plays both sides politically to incite more use of the spear.
It’s the same reason the US gives Israel money for military aid. They turn around and give it all back to US based arms manufacturers.
A few posts up from this one: UK to buy F-35 jets. Those boys ain’t cheap, chief
Tbh those corporations aren’t that big.
Yeah but they’re not the only companies in the massive military-industrial chain.
I work for a huge (Fortune 250) American industrial manufacturing company who has major contracts with all of those companies in OP’s pic.
My company’s stock value is also climbing like a rocket. And not a SpaceX rocket that explodes on the launchpad. A good rocket.
Those four companies each have a few hundred companies who sell to them.
Job searching as a SWE who’s trying to get out of SAAS and into something sustainability or space really makes you realize how many of these companies there are.
They all operate under the guise of sustainability and eco friendly we’re making the world a better place, but their revenue is mostly from the Pentagon and or Israel and they also conveniently provide satellite images of every spot on the earth “on the side”
STONK!
