Back in my days the warmongers and the profiteers were more respectable. Oh they sold weapons and bombs, but they made those! Made them with their own hands (or someone's hands) ... these days tsk tsk, they just bet in an app using inside information that nations will be bombed and profit in the millions without doing any work at all. Nobody wants to work anymore.
