Shit is fucking bonkers. Richest country in the history of mankind makes its people pay to live and get educated. Fuck. Only developed country that does it. I'm convinced that our government hates our guts and wants us all dead.

Nope. They want us just alive enough to increase “the domestic supply of infants” to fully stock both their workforce and the military.

Keeping you alive "long enough". Your productive years of making children aren't the years where you need the most healthcare. It's designed to get young people to overpay and old people to overpay and still die

There are a lot of people who really wish we were, and they have power, and money.

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Someone should let them know that's not fun.

As long as they get to be the Spartans, and not the Helots, they will be fine with it.

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I'm too rusty on history to know about it. Either way, I've been to a Walmart with times to know we're not Sparta.

I’ve been waiting for more people to realize this. The rich will always make the mistake of underestimating the poor.

By expanding the groups range, you increase their numbers dramatically, eventually they’ll realize they can eat you alive.

And all their bunkers become fancy soup cans, and there’s always a can opener.

You’re too kind, thank you.

[-] penquin@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

Mmmmmmm yummy fucking soup. I love that kind of soup. When?

And half of them are voting for candidates that openly want to make things worse.

[-] penquin@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

That's cultists doing cultist shit. They know full well what they're voting for is bad for the country.

There was a joke in the old Duck Tales cartoon about this.

One of Scrooge McDuck’s nephews was chastising his uncle for being needlessly frugal. “Why won’t you pay for this? You’re the richest duck in the world!”

Scrooge replied “And how do you think I got to be the richest?”

Oligarchs convincing We the People to vote for representatives who maintain systems of indifference and cruelty is how we got so damn rich to begin with.

One percent of the military budget. It's all you need.

[-] penquin@lemm.ee 0 points 3 months ago

That military budget is literally fucking us sideways. I'd be ok with it if it were used for the good of this world, it's literally used to kill brown people and children.

[-] xenoclast@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

For control of resources. Murder to "protect American interests". They do say why they do it. What is America really interested in? Wealth consolidation for the ultra wealthy.

[-] redisdead@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

It's the richest country because they nickel and dime it's people

[-] kayos@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Mate. I’m from what the hell!
