Objectively, no. Considering the circumstances, on the other hand…
Cripple. History Major. Irritable and in constant pain. Vaguely Left-Wing.

What about the expertise in suiciding whistleblowers?
Doesn’t Boeing do mostly civilian aircraft?
I feel like billionaires might resolve the Trump/musk issue for us. Fucking with a defense contractor’s bottom line is pretty dangerous, especially when you have private security (Musk)
Honestly, I feel it’s more likely to display how much the defense industry is just another ordinary industry. They’ll whinge and wring their hands, maybe openly support the limpdick opposition if they’re feeling particularly pressured, but all that experience in making killing machines is just engineering and marketing. They’re not more likely to have clout or death squads (of their own, at least) than other major industries of comparable size and importance, and everything is structured in such a compartmentalized way that they couldn’t really leverage that against the government if they actually wanted to throw down.
The defense industry is more like the oil industry than a cyberpunk future. Influential, not independent.
Russian puppet Trump.
Or hell, maybe not. Maybe Trump is just so legitimately stupid and fascist that his every action is the exact opposite of beneficial for society, and Russia is just enjoying the good luck of boosting such a moron.
They won’t learn a goddamn thing. They’ll vote for him again.
This won’t help anyone. Not the country, not the left, hell, not even the right.
But you know what?
I’m done with empathy for these fucks.
I’m glad they’re suffering.
Trump openly promises fascism in terms stupid enough that fascists can understand.
There’s not much more to it.
