    This is so fucking disgusting. We ought to be tarring and feathering these execs and their largest investors, then taking their wealth for the public benefit.

          He makes a good point. The only way to solve it is to use all our weapons at once on the enemy destroying their weapons. Then when we run out they run out too so no one can fight anymore. Solved.
