The issue is you can't prove that all of those contracts were corrupt dealings. It's like saying all black people in jail are there because of racism. It happens, but it's rarely the case. He's spot on, this mindset Warren has assumes all corporations and all employees at big corporations are corrupt and sinister actors.

at best, our govt and it’s military contractors are too cozy. At worst, they are working hand in hand with the American government to blow up the world for their profit.


Have you noticed how mad the media is that trump is fixing the North Korean issue? How pissed they are trump hasn’t attacked Iran? These people want war bc they make a fortune off it. And the MIC lobbyists own politicians on both sides of the aisle to keep our war hawk attitude. It’s a deep, complicated, secret web that keeps war going on around the world, so they can keep producing tanks, bombs, and F35s. No war= trillions in loses for these fat cats.

I think most are unaware or naive to how the DOD works with our military contractors, the amount of money that gets wasted, the way establishment generals/admirals become tv analysts on CNN instigating for war “we’ll lose credibility in the region!!”

I want it to stop. I don’t know what the fix is, but there a colossal problem with our MIC and it needs to be neutered

Also if this were a rule, nobody qualified in their respective field would leave the private sector for a lesser paying job. That leaves functioning retards running government programs who have no idea what they're doing.

the squad, mad Maxine, Elijah Cummings just to name a few. THEYRE NOT SENDING US THEYRE BEST already. The idea that these are the best we can get is a laughable premise, especially bc this specific situation deals with military personnel, so they wouldn’t be coming from the private sector already, they’d be homegrown in our military... If a general’s post service gravy train gets screwed up in the name of anti-corruption, I’m ok with that
