I would characterize that as part of the “declining rates of profit” thesis.
There’s less and less economic production and exchange that they, or somebody else, doesn’t already own.
So they’re increasingly turning to direct extraction.

in reply to Miakoda • • •@hellomiakoda He doesn't understand that Mastodon works like all other social media, and he should just cut & paste the text into the text box and repost it here. Instead he screencaps and uploads an *image* of what he's posted elsewhere, without alt-text. Every time.
Lots of folks have told him this doesn't make any sense, but he doesn't even read the comments here. 🤷🏻♂️

U.S. military spending is set to hit a
record $1 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed
seven straight audits.
This is the military industrial complex on steroids."
