  1. Not doublechecked but according to AI overview, 'The US military industrial complex is a significant part of the US manufacturing industry, accounting for over 60% of the total. The US defense industrial base is made up of over 200,000 companies, including large corporations and smaller businesses'.

  2.  @colettechausser7879  I always aim to attribute and in this case I did so, qualified it and people are welcome to dig deeper knowing this. It was done on the spur of the moment. Norton's claim that a substantial amount of US 'manufacturing' is actually its MIC so was curious. Looks like he was correct. Nothing 'gross' about it. The source I mean. Not the fact.

  3. The unfortunate fact remains that there is still 'a choice' come November between Trump and Harris. Trump, supposedly, is looking for a more isolationist USA which, by definition, again supposedly, would lead to fewer foreign interventionist policies no?
