This will somehow cause 4th generation Japanese Americans to be rounded up in internment camps. Again.

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I feel like the American project for a long time has been to third world and enshittificate its own country so it can have cheap labor at home
This is also an article for getting more fundings
gives Military Industrial Complex more money
they do stock buybacks
yeah that's always the angle
Rebuild manufacturing and recreate the conditions that were favourable to the revolutionary left, or don't rebuild manufacturing and lose to an inability to project violent power.
They have a decision between losing to the left internationally, or losing to the left nationally through revolution.
Or at least, that's how the capitalists are interpreting it.

Why are they (or we) pretending that nukes don't exist? There is no direct traditional conflict that will happen, it'll either be proxy wars or nukes.

The Need for Predictable Orders
Defense companies are generally unwilling to take financial risks without contracts—including multiyear contracts—in place.
It is not a sound business decision to build more munitions or weapons systems without a clear demand signal and financial commitments. This risk aversion is compounded if companies make additional capital investments—especially investments for facilities, infrastructure, and tooling.
As one DoD study concluded:
“Producers benefited from steady or predictable orders, so the DoD’s inconsistent procurement and concurrent production ramps (both increases and decreases) exacerbate the challenges suppliers face across the [defense industrial base].”
I guess, we'll really have to worry when the DoD starts putting in 5-year contracts in place.
Edit:
Consequently, it is important to buy munitions smarter to take advantage of scale and market power. Examples include advanced procurement, multiyear procurement, and economic order quantity processes.
