    Ironic that the debate is about Iran while the real story is in the tray. US defense budget is bumped up to 1.5 Trillion and yet that’s the return on investment for the people actually doing the deployments.

    Separately worth noting, between institutional investors and billionaire land grabs, the US has lost over 40 million acres of farmland to non-farming ownership in the last decade. These two things are connected: when capital extraction is the priority, everything else, soldiers, food supply, communities, gets the leftovers.
