Of course we (USA) will be in perpetual war.
Profit margins to adhere to.
Stock holders to answer to.

Take drive to your local Business Park and see which employee parking lots are filled.
General Atomics, etc...it is the war machine that is humming along.


Criminal.

1. Yup. Memebers of my own family are earning a good living and are working steady
making weapons of war. High school drop outs they are. They vote Republican too, when they bother to vote. They certainly spout right-wing talking points.

Meanwhile, I, with three college degrees, one of them in the field of secondary education, remain woefully under employed.

Anecdotal and personal story but illustrative of a bigger picture I think.
