The US government spends 9 billion per DAY. Perhaps you could ask your elected representative if they could divert 0.1 percent of it towards this problem instead of on spending on bombing brown people in far away lands -you realize the US spends more on military than next 14 countries with larger populations combined

You exaggerate the reach of Seattle's city council if you think they are capable of ending the US' military-industrial complex. But I think that defense spending is a red herring here.

It was, but they certainly imaguned that they could influence a mega corporation who is not responsible for the problem
