$1 Billion for Food Aid? No! $1 Billion for Healthcare? Don’t have it. $1 billion per day for War? Here you go!

Easiest way to funnel money, in case it wasn’t obvious why all the billionaires were supporting Trump, its because hes their puppet..

It was never about the money.

They only use the “money” buzz word to silence the humans with empathy. Then blow trillions on whatever.

Yes absolutely. Bring up how nationalized health care will actually save a shit ton of money and they’ll still demand you explain “how we gunna pay for it?!” While they bust out the abacus and expect the budget down to the exact cent. Oh but another absolutely worthless forever war in the ME that will accomplish fuck all and lol weeee numbers don’t matter.

Universal healthcare is cheaper than our current system. We don’t have to “pay” for it, we would be saving money.

The deep, structural reason that the US is always at war (and frequently at war for Israel’s interests), is that the US isn’t really a democracy, and it never has been.

Bourgeois “democracy” is fake democracy – it is neither “representative,” nor legitimate, nor actually democratic.

Switzerland is an actual democracy, not just a pseudo-democracy like the US, so it’s a lot harder to get their population to vote for war, unless it’s absolutely necessary.

In Switzerland, citizens vote 4 times per year on major referendums and initiatives via universal mail in voting.

Citizens have both an effective veto power, and can also initiate legislation for a vote with enough signatures.

Instead of a single president with “Supreme, Unitary Executive Authority”, they have 7 heads of their executive branch in their Federal Council, with one annually rotating “president” from among those 7.

The system has high legitimacy, high citizen input/throughput, it’s not overly burdensome, and they have among the highest human development, life expectancy, and life satisfaction rankings in the world.

They still have legislators, but super rich pedophiles/oligarchs/kleptocrats, foreign nations, and transnational criminals have a harder time enslaving the entire population just by bribing/bullying a few handfuls of legislators, judges, and executives, due to the citizen veto and initiative powers.

It combines the best of both representative and direct democracy, while mitigating the downsides of each.

We can and should implement something like this, starting at the state and municipal levels in the US.

Imagine how much better the US (and the rest of the world) would be if the US was an actual democracy like Switzerland, instead of being an extremely corrupt oligarchy/pedophilocracy/kleptocracy with pseudo-democratic characteristics.

Under bourgeois “democracy”, our ruling oligarch/pedophile/kleptocrat class are always going to send the public to die and pay trillions for endless wars (for Israel) that they profit from, but if we had an actual democracy, people wouldn’t vote for war unless it was absolutely necessary.

That’s what America needs to do if we want out of this corrupt hellscape of endless war, starting at the state and municipal level, which is comparable in size to Switzerland, and working our way up from there.

We’re not a real democracy, and we never have been, and that is a major root cause of all kinds of different problems.

We pay a lot more for worse care too. That isn’t a problem though because the rich get all the money. In the US the only thing that matters is shareholder value. War makes rich people money and kills poor people same as the healthcare system.

That’s unfortunately because wars make those in power a lot of money, but caring for people only ever costs money. Fetishized profit motive culture in full swing..

I see no changes.

All I see is racist faces.

lol yeah the priority setting here is wild just saying 🤷‍♀️

Well who’s gonna profit off feeding people and making sure people stay healthy and off prescription medication. Geez think of those people.

When the Republican Party is in power, yes.
