Usually when companies do this it bothers me because it is tone deaf pandering. But with Raytheon I don't feel the same way because I think these lunatics actually believe this message. They were sponsoring gay pride parades in the late 00s, way before it was cool to be gay. There is something about an unironic murder cult of gay environmentalist engineers that fascinates me.
In other news, Monsanto was ranked as #1 trans friendly workplace before it got acquired by Bayer.
I guess when we've banned all the books, we can start blaming GMOs for all the femboy smut on the internet?
I mean... missiles are the most direct 'degrowth' implementation I've seen.
😬
If you’re an engineer working for the military industrial complex they don’t really care who you are so long as your soul has that price tag. And I know a decent portion of the people doing it feel guilty and try to mentally minimize the damage it does.
Raytheon, I don't think you can greenwash weapon manufacturing.
For every person you kill we plant a tree. It's both good for the environment and a very visible kill count.
You could argue that just killing people is statistically good for the planet.
amazon regrowth speed run
I don't think that's actually real.
Also a fun fact: Sea Sparrows are some of the missiles used in Ukraine for air defense right now. They're launching then from Soviet land-based anti-aircraft vehicles somehow.

When they do this, it's called a Sea Spaciva. 😏
Thought it was a European sparrow rather than a north American.
Little faster due to a lower unladen weight.
Are you suggesting anti-air missiles migrate?
All I'm saying is, it's not a matter of fuel efficiency, it's a simple matter of weight ratios. A one ton missile cannot be manufactured and deployed without a comparably sized carbon footprint.
Hey capitalism, how's it going?
...yeah
What, does it only target LearJet and Gulfstream private aircraft?
I'd be okay with that. How do we implement that?
You can read this in Robert Evans' voice and it's just as sarcastic as anything he's said about them
ಠ_ಠ wtf did I just read?
I do believe it says the sea sparrow is the most environmentally friendly anti-air missile.
For every missile fired we will plant a fucking tree
To be fair, people and airplanes are very bad for the environment.
I wouldn't be surprised if a tactical nuke was a net positive for the environment.
A nuke destroys whole ecosystems...
Chernobyl is doing pretty well now that it's completely uninhabitable by humans...
Plenty of things will survive it, and the removal of the humans in the area may be a net positive.
Sustainable child murder
I'd hate to leave the children we kill a polluted earth behind.
Most environmentally friendly anti-air missile
Oh cool, they're gonna start launching them at private jets?
I bet it generates a lot of carbon when used though :(
But think of the jet emissions reduction it leads to!
I hate that this isn't a meme.
Ed: lolol 300+ mindless upvotes and the poster is the sub mod. Awesome.
Why do communities exist if people are going to dump everything in one place and are rewarded for doing so?
ESSM: the Expensive Sea Seeking Missile
If you're going to be unfriendly to people, the least you can do is be friendly to the ecosystem.

Is this real?
`Frank, the new CEO had to answer to the board.
The board was getting anxious, and the shareholders were
on a bed, legs in air, ass-cheeks open wide
They were about to get fucked like it was their first time.
When one makes 20 million, ten thousand people lose.
What keeps that one from swallowing a shotgun?
Dan, the company man, felt loyalty to the corp.
After 16 years of service, and a family to support
He actually started to believe
the weaponry and chemicals were for national defense.
'Cause Danny had a mortgage, and a boss to answer to.
The guilty don't feel guilty, they learn not to.
Helen is living in her car, trying to feed her kids.
She got laid off at work, and her house was repossessed.
It's hard to think clearly when it's 38 degrees.
Desperate people have been known to render desperate deeds.
But when she shot that family and moved into their home,
The paper read she suffered from dementia.`
