War .... any war ... and why countries would rather invest millions, billions and trillions on war machines and weapons that could literally kill us all, rather than try to figure out more peaceful solutions.
Or how they have trillions to spend on war, but that money can't be found when people are starving and living in the streets.
War makes unethical people and industries lots of money
Because peace doesn't generate money for the 1%
War is the cost of challenging the status quo intentionally. It turns out a lot of people in power are willing to pay that cost.
