While it sounds like he's criticizing the Iraq War on principle, he's wording is really chilling:
"Thousands of lives, and we don't even have it..."
He's complaining about the money and lost lives because we haven't taken POSSESSION of anything at the end of it. He still wants the imperialism.

The way tech companies constantly do stuff that nobody asked for really tells you a lot about their bigger ideology. They tell themselves that you will like it over time. What they mean is you’ll learn to endure it, or you’ll give up. quality of UI is not actually anywhere on their radar
new iOS update is sleek and also defaults in Music to “you must want songs transition as they would on a dance floor.” so many people will wonder why they can’t just listen to an album. Apps > Music > Song Transitions > toggle off.
