That's not really true. Because the money invested in the military goes back to the local economy. And it is a much more real economy than finance.

Well a good share goes back that's true, but certainly not everything. I mean the plants could've also built school busses and ambulances instead of military vehicles, right? I was just pointing out that "no downsides" is a bit optimistic, the costs are very real. And it is a pity that in this day and age we still have to put up with that ๐Ÿ™

Well, indeed it is a cost for the society. But when people are forced to work to be allowed to live, the problem is not the workforce.

It is a pity in this day and age that there are still wars, but it is an even greater pity that we have to work artificial jobs to be allowed to live imo.

Money shouldn't be a concern.

You're not wrong, at least building military things does add value to society especially in times like these. Maybe working some bullshit job is worse in that regard ๐Ÿ˜‰ Still I would prefer to live in a world that wouldn't need both of these things.
