The war machine is a wealth creator, but it doesn't generate wealth for the majority

This is the root of the issue.

Yesterday a British euro fighter shot down a drone (heading for Cyprus) update. Edit shot down over Jordan.
It was reported as the first use of this aircraft in combat.

The reporter had an almost gleeful tone to her voice as if to say. "It works"

The missile used to shoot down the drone cost 10x the cost of the drone.

The photo reminds me of 1930s manhatten. Nice imagery.
