      Do you know what that looks like in practice? Like is it actually subtle or is it actually like the “please engineer something that can shoot a rocket with medical supplies directly at lost hikers who have gone raving mad from isolation and try to hide from it”?

            No kidding. “My customer would like to deliver 10 pizza’s simultaneously to every room in the house, from one missile, ahem- I mean drone, launch.”

              I’m kind of shocked the meme example of the lost hikers is like, correct.

    Remember, central planning is bad and not something done in the US. We just have a purely natural love for weapons manufacturing.

      I mean yeah but also I would not be surprised if a purely free American market made lots of weapons. American capitalists love bombs

    They’ve always been a semiconductor company with a side hustle in calculators. The calculators have never been a large share of their revenue.

    But yeah, one of the reasons I left working for them was because of their defense contracts, granting projects that work on semiconductor equipment with military applications.

    They aren’t making the bombs, but they’re supplying the chips for them.
