Remember Palantir? Only insiders made money off that military contractor shitheap. Retail baggies got their investment slashed. The truth is if you don't have a small hat you're ngmi with stocks. If you buy into military contractors now you're getting blue chips that will earn you less than inflation.

I would say that if it's investing in a company you think will efficiently enable the government to kill people, it is definitely immoral, however if you are investing in a company that you know will simply bilk taxpayers out of hundreds of millions of dollars due to lobbying connections while delivering little to no concrete value, it'd be foolish not to invest in that business and what it actually provides is irrelevant

Dude, everything is a balancing act.

Weak government... hello putin.

Strong government... hello putin 2.0

What you want is a sort of temporary meta-stanble state.

You can achieve this by becoming an influential voter as described in the book "The Dictators Handbook". Most voters arnt influential because they are merely the pawns of the dominant two parties. However, people who are members of a party can vote who is selected to run as the party presidential candidate... hello influence! However parties are generally policed pretty strongly by their whips, who try to whip everyone into line, so its another balancing act.

No. It is morally good. Morally exemplary, even. Think about it. The fundamental nature of man is to brutally massacre each other at the slightest chance. All of our most brilliant inventions have been made in pursuit of warfare, of domination of our fellow man. The strong will survive. The weak will not. Those are the facts of this world.

In short. Long LMT. Long RTX. Long NOC. Invest in conflict, the past present, and future of mankind.

Not true, the study that cites doctor fuckups as a big cause of death considers any error in medical practice a "doctor fuckup", including things like not knowing what antibiotics a random patient is allergic to during a medical emergency.
