One week of war in the Middle East, of course.
there’s ukraine by proxy and god knows where else they are currently involved. and they have been openly threatening pretty much every region of the world one way or another.
they will print all of the money, they don’t care.
1 year of highway funding lol meet the second least efficient thing in capitalist society
Decent food in schools? Affordable health care for all? Paying us all back the tariffs? Refund gutted federal departments like CISA? So many things come to mind. Literally anything would have been better than that.
Funny how much obvious social infrastructure projects they chose to avoid. Best they could do is ‘roads’
Funny how healthcare isn’t in the infographic
Ya dislike how half the infographic is just other military industrial complex things.
another way in which the media dupes us is by influencing what will be talked about in the first place, even when we don’t trust them at all.
i guess infrastructure could help whoever dictates the editorial line make or save their money. who is it that owns this publication again?
Roughly three million lives, if the money spent on this week of war was used by USAID for health care instead, at a rough cost of $3,500 per life saved.
The United States cut $10 billion dollars in aid to the poorest people in the world - calling it waste, fraud, and abuse - causing probably a million deaths so far from starvation and disease.
And the same people who called that $10 billion dollars in aid a monstrous waste and treason against the American taxpayer are cheering their heads off as we spend $10 billion dollars to kill an 85-year-old man and two hundred schoolchildren.
Because saving lives is a waste but ending them isn’t.
The leaders of the free world, everybody.
