Ferrari and Lambo are still cars, with how they are ripping off the middle class, there should be enough billionaires

What you are suggesting is even more dangerous though. Law immunity for politicians is even worse

Not really, for the same reasons Russia's economy is now in the shitter: sure they could sell oil to another country, but changing the whole infrastructure is not something that can be done in days. Same with moving the whole production of goods to a completely new country.

Also consider that nowadays western countries have lost the knowhow to produce efficiently goods (while their service industry still remains unmatched)

What I meant is:

Propaganda is writing 0.99 with the intention of tricking people into buying. Note here to purpose of writing 99 is used.

Casualties was born from the necessity of generals to know how many troops are available. There is no psychological trick in there. Just because civilians misinterpret it does not mean there is a propagandistic goal hidden somewhere.

See the difference?

Lost means "not able to fight". If they lose a leg, they might be alive, but not very useful in the battlefield. Therefore the soldier, not the human, is lost.

Most of it it's because in military setting, those two are equivalent, sine the only thing they care is about how many abled bodies they have available for the meat grinder.

Including wounded is the official definition of lost, always been. No need to call propaganda, it simply how is defined.
