We spend 53 cents of every dollar on defense related expenditures, while far more economic prosperity derives from investment in education and infrastructure. Same skills and expertise can be transitioned and repurposed! That is the shift from a war economy to a peace economy.

Hi Marianne, I think "cultivate peace" or something similar might be better language now? "Wage peace" still uses war terminology and its underlying metaphors.

You are going against maybe 200 years of military tradition. All Americans are children of war. Let's fight for peace.

I think it's a real shame they marginalized her as the Chakra balancing voodoo aunt. She really has some reasonable and resonating contributions to the discourse that just get conflated with dog sh*t psuedo science by association with the contrived narrative of her they ran with.
