Do you believe that the Military Industrial Complex exists?

If so how would you describe it? Is it a problem?

    The biggest modern example of the military industrial complex is the current and decades-long arrangement between Israel and the United States. Yes it’s a problem.

    It’s not Santa. It’s a thing that is objectively true. We know the names of the companies…

    The way George Carlin describes it. There doesn’t need to be a conspiracy. They just all follow the mighty dollar. So it’s no surprise that defense contractors want to sell more weapons. And it’s no surprise that they fund politicians that push policies that ultimately lead to more weapons sales.

    What do you mean “believe”? Like of course it exists. It’s not a conspiracy, it is defense sector companies. It’s companies that service defense contracts with the military and adjacent areas and it’s a problem because lobbying to continuously spend our money on arguably unnecessary defense spending is a problem.
