Defense contractors have such a hold on American military policy that an element of war profiteering is laced into the way we function. We need a movement for peace that is equivalent to the environmental movement. The Right is okay with what is & the Left has basically given up.

We have such a war economy that $.53 of every $ spent is defense related. But money spent on education & infrastructure is actually a more lucrative investment & defense jobs could be re-purposed for peace-related activities. We need to move from a war economy to a peace economy

Why do we have a $760B defense budget while some of our schools don’t even have school supplies & people lack healthcare? In part because we spend hundreds of billions of dollars every year above & beyond what the Pentagon even says it needs. This has nothing to do with security!

He's divesting himself to prevent conflict of interest. Would you rather he NOT divest and still hold Raytheon stock as a member of the president's cabinet? This is silly

Wow...Your entire inner “Karen” has been revealed in these past few days. What’s next, calling the police on a black man riding his bike down your street?

All reading this stuff does is give us more reason to be depressed and angry. What's the point? Just stew in our hatred longer?

Wow , what a wonderful nominee Joe Biden was. The next four years will probably have FOUR new wars. Just think of all the money defense contractors will make.
