Look at the positive results of non-profit wars and infrastructure spending (FDR: "To those who say that our expenditures for Public Works and other means for recovery are a waste that we cannot afford, I answer that no country, however rich, can afford the waste of its human resources.”), and the space program.
Black-hole (deficit) spending is good for the economy.

As for deforestation, it never happened.
The lumber industry around here owns a finite (yet huge) number of acres of timber and is very careful about preserving its commodity by renewing its own forest.
What action by the United States ended the Great Depression?
Hint: World War II
War is the most cost-effective and expeditious strategy to adjust a failing economy.
In addition to weapon manufacture of planes, boats, guns, grenades, there are uniforms, protective clothing, technology like night vision goggles, radios, etc.
Also, troops use fuel and transportation.
Logistical support includes food, medical personnel and supplies, quarters, hangers, storage buildings...
War is an excellent investment.
On the other side of that, we don't spend much on people who return with medical or economic needs, so there's that upside.
I sense that you think this is difficult, and I agree.
The ISP logs have to show the exact time of possession, and use, by an alleged offender of a particular IP address.
This exercise may reveal exactly how much the ISP knows, like MAC address (and smart device equivalent), that could be discovered by confiscating user's machines.

Fuck you in the ass with Trump's tiny dick.
Why the simple fuck is this not modded up?
I grant thee +1, Insightful.
WE do.
It's called, TAXES.
... for-profit war ...
You miss the point.
There is no profit in war.
If there was, America would not be in debt.
A healthy economy needs black-hole spending.

It worked out well for me, personally.
My daddy came out of WWII with a job in a refinery that was producing at 100% and supported 8 kids.
Before that, he was a field worker in a goddam sawmill.

Not so much this.
I remember Texaco refinery hiring black women (a definite "twofer") back in 1975 and giving them fast-track promotions to supervisors.
Texaco did this because federal contracts required it.
It did serve a purpose, though.

Sander's proposal to reign in greed would not have prevailed over Trump's promises of bringing jobs back to America.
Trump was elected on a single issue, - jobs - predominantly by undereducated rustbelt white women.
If we do a rewind of the greed curve, we find that it is older than dirt.
The greed has no roots in politics or religion. It just uses those as a carrier to lubricate the movement.
I don't see any solution that doesn't involve civil war.
The money addicted oligarchs need to be reigned in.
I agree with you, but it ain't gonna happen.
Short-sighted asymptotic greed has shoved America aside.

The attack came (allegedly) from the country of Ethiopia, not
