I don’t know, Aircraft carriers cost about the same amount as a hedge fund. Governments still consider war a “legitimate” business.

You have to be kidding right?
Do you even have an aircraft carrier?
In every bussines you have a cost to produce something and a revenue. You can invest in missiles and then steal resources from other nations. But how did you buy those missiles? With fiat currency.
The cost to produce fiat currency and bank credit is cero. And they get real wealth as collateral that they can keep squeezing the credit supply: tax revenue, homes, securities. The return over investment is infinite. This is without a doubt the most profitable bussines on earth.
Printing a $100 dollar bill cost 14 cents according to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP). Thats $99,86 in profits from the face value purchasing power of a $100 dollar bill.
Now think about printing digital currency or bank credit. The cost is cero. Infinite returns. War may be profitable as well, but making everyone believe you fake fiat currency is money, is defiantly the most profitable business on earth.
Based, unlike fiat currency which is debased. 🧐
Printing money is actually profit negative, Because it needs to be justified by taxation. That’s why it is called a debt based system. It is the fundamental profit model, But after the treasury department, Who benefits most? Military contractors. It is the recipient of the credit, Not the owner of the debt who is making a profit. Most people will work to service debt in their lifetime and will never be out of debt and in profit. Most people have no concept of what having their needs met and having expendable resources feels like, Because it incentivizes them to help others who are less fortunate. If a majority of people were out of debt and in profit many of the world’s problems would get resolved.
