    How many citizens of the US are food insecure? How many are homeless? How many are facing crippling student debt?

      Fucking 100% correct! We are told every single time the push for universal healthcare comes up that “we can’t afford it”. But we got leaf-blowers of money for any and all things related to the military industrial complex. The budgets for basically everything else gets slashed and just gets redirected.

    The people dying at home could’ve used that money, assholes. Taiwan was doing fine until Nacy stirred shit up.

      Taiwan is constantly menaced by a continual build up of forces by China. Xi has been 100% explicit that he wants Taiwan and he’s not afraid to use violence to get it. This is a relatively cheap way to discourage China from making a move, similar to how arming Ukraine has been a relatively cheap way of halting Russia’s invasion.
