Mundy why you love rap music so much, I don't think I will ever understand.

I watched Jackie Brown last night, one of the main characters makes a living off of the buying and selling of small arms to local gangs and thugs. Which kinda goes hand in hand with the article above. Everytime a weapon is used in a hollywood movie or lyrics in a rap song, he ends up selling a shit load of said weapon.

Anyhow this character played by Samuel Jackson makes quite a bit of money. He does all this illegally but can you imagine this kind of business done legally and on a much more massive scale? I guess this is why it is the largest industry in the world. So for all you out there, that are hell bent on making as much money as possible in your life time, I highly recommend you get into the arms trade.

From 1998 to 2001, the USA, the UK, and France earned more income from arms sales to developing countries than they gave in aid.

The arms industry is unlike any other. It operates without regulation. It suffers from widespread corruption and bribes. And it makes its profits on the back of machines designed to kill and maim human beings.

So who profits most from this murderous trade? The five permanent members of the UN Security Council – the USA, UK, France, Russia, and China. Together, they are responsible for eighty eight per cent of reported conventional arms exports.
“We can’t have it both ways. We can’t be both the world’s leading champion of peace and the world’s leading supplier of arms.” Former US President Jimmy Carter, presidential campaign, 1976





Slaves good for the economy, selling instruments of death is great for the economy, a big fucking war is really good for the economy, I guess a global genocide has the same positive economic equivalent to that of 400 trillion christmases all happening at once.
I'm pretty sure the entire economic structure of this world is based on a whole bunch of bullshit, and an even great number of dillusional people eating it. So save your "it's bad for the economy" nonsense for some other fucking moron.
