Yeah the defense industry lobby is strong. And its fortified by obviously people who rely on those jobs.

The change would have to come from a federal level. That is why I liked the idea of the Green New Deal because it would have injected tons of money into building infrastructure, energy, etc. that we need and might've given us an alternative to defense sector jobs.

It will take a massive cultural and economic shift for sure.
