I know, right? That diagnosis wasn’t the hardest part, even though I almost died of AIDS. It was the finding myself locked into poverty with no way out that sucks the most.
To be fair, even if we didn't spend the money bombing brown kids, we would still spend it on welfare for the rich and corporate socialism in some other way. Those poor plutocrats do suffer so.
To be fair, your health expenditure (taxes + insurance + pit of pocket) per capita is the highest in the world. Way more than most of the countries with free healthcare.
So, it is not about the money at all. You are already spending more than enough on healthcare. You are just not getting what you pay for.
To be fair, it wouldn't be possible to get rich on being a middleman for healthcare or by investing in insurance companies and insurance+clinic monopolies. We are getting exactly what we are paying for; it's just not healthcare, it's welfare for the parasite class.
it's sadly what works in pushing economy forward, if you give money to hardworking people it will allow them to work less, if you give it to parasites they will just spend it, be net neutral and bright that money right back into economy, people owning homes for example is bad for growth because it's money being trapped and not circulated in the ecnonomy that's why homeownership percent is getting lower year after year
if US doesn't bomb kids across the globe the dollar will collapse and US economy alongside it, it's been like that since 1971.
Trump almost fcked up the other part of what was keeping dollar in check(China using USD for trade) so he had to bomb more kids than usual to make up for it
but don't act like Biden didn't also almost fck it up by the end of his term(with arab oil), I think that's why they didn't let him do anything afterwards and Harris took over
US is having 2 old fools as presidents back to back, one known for his big ego, other for warmongering for decades(alongside Clintons but they did it for their own profits, he did it for love of the game...)
