we must ensure that small-business war profiteers have a seat at the table!
I agree, that way the US can get owned by scam artists like this guy .
This tweet is such a perfect satire that I didn’t even think it was real, and am still having some trouble believing it tbh.
People here say it all the time, but the Onion really is going to have a hard time coming up with new material with how comically evil politicians already are.
The double onion where they pretend to be onion reporters and just repost shit like this
Won't someone think of the mom n' pop international arms dealers?
I'm not sure she's even a social democrat, but it bears repeating anyway:
social democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism
:stalin-pipe:
She's a neolib through and through. Even her plans for social programs are neoliberalized with private/public cooperation. Perhaps she's the moderate wing of neolibs.
She started as a classical conservative then realized it was dumb for companies to actively harm the consumer, which instantly turned her into an extreme progressive by American politician standards.
from the replies:
As the government gets bigger, so do corporations, banks and institutions. Destroying the free market.
This is a consequence of the Cantillon effect.
The closer you are to the source of money issuance the more advantages you have.
#Bitcoin fixes this.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HOW ARE THESE PEOPLE REAL WHAT THE FUCK :stalin-stressed:
the kind vladimir ilyvich would have killed everyone here
#Bitcoin fixes this.
It would. No F35 would ever leave the ground (despite obvious reasons) if the flight crew was paid $1 million dollars one hour and $0,25 the next
A whole squadron of F35s fall out of the air because Bitcoin craters in value mid-flight
The only Cantillon effect I care about is the buzz I get from exquisite barrel-aged sours brewed in Brussels.
I have some gummies that give me a nice Cantillion effect
51 major contractors
One in every state and one more in DC?
I guess that's one way to get shitty, bloated defense bills through congress.
Was. Now we don't even need that much, because we've figured out how to buy out the Congresscritters without even delivering shit to the constituents. Just drop a few grand on ads telling the hogs to squeal and win in a landslide on the "China Balloon COVID Protect Ukraine The Mexico Islam Border!" platform.
We aren't even doing the local Good'ole'Boy style corruption. You can be the richest guy in your county and you're still just a whipping boy for folks ten steps up the ladder.
Female drone pilots dropping bombs built by mom and pop defense contractors :amerikkka-clap:
👏 MORE 👏 HECKIN 👏 SMOL 👏 BEAN 👏 BIZNERINO 👏 ARMS 👏 DEALERS 👏
Tell me you're never gonna be President without telling me you're never gonna be president.
On some level I gotta love Warren for her consistency in lukewarm takes that appeal to nobody. People either support the hegemony machine completely, want it dismantled, or don't really care. There is no constituency that wants the kind of shit she proposes.
The companies that are just armies of lawyers who apply for government contracts are bad! Instead of big contracts going to those lawyer firms and then being sub-sub-sub-sub contracted to the people who actually make the things, perhaps we should use lots of little contracts that will still be awarded to those same companies full of lawyers who know how to apply for those contracts
This is how you really know that American progressives have zero power. If she had any at all, there would be Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics, and BAE assassins all fighting over which one gets to kill her.
Hilarious bit, good job to whatever comrade edited it, now let's see what she actually tweeted hey wait what the fuck
the kind amy klobachar would have thrown a binder at everyone here
the industry that makes toys for rich people to kill poor people is bad actually, and no, you don't have to like all the workers
