Tell that to weapons manufactures. Literally one of the biggest income sources of the US.

Which weapons manufacturing company did the governement own again?

They spend almost 800 BILLION dollars yearly on military. That's spending - not income.

Rich people don’t like wars or climate change

I was disagreeing with this remark. How does my comment has to do anything with the US government?

So you do agree that almost all of that money (salaries for gov employees are a very small percentage) is income for those private companies? Not spending, income?

You said it's one of the biggest income sources of the United States. What is "The United States" if not the government?

The. . . country?

When I say the US makes the most trucks in the world, do you take it to say the US government makes them?

  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----
