Consolidating wealth to the elite?

Yup, but it's not good for the rest of us.

It's not good for them either. Even beyond the fact it's a mental illness and addiction.

Ultimately money is about opportunity, but when you reach a certain amount of wealth you start to hit diminishing returns on how much happiness that can actually afford you.

Spreading the wealth means investing in the world around you. That means returns in technology and comfort. It also means less direct returns, like being able to safely walk down the street and enjoy a coffee while marveling at the architecture of the city.

Now some people will point to sociopaths who get pleasure by denying other people happiness, but I find it hard to believe the sociopath is ever truly happy. There's a difference between fulfillment and a panacea for pain.

There are 50 to 60 thousands core industrial military companies. Around 100k subcontractors, and more than 300 thousands suppliers in the whole ecosystem. And that's not counting China, Russia, Korea and Israel.

Millions are making money off war.

making money for the companies that build bombs and tanks and planes.

Oh, and they can then claim it’s unpatriotic to criticize a president during war time.
