Imagine if this was invested in arresting climate change.
Instead they are literally posting trillions into accelerating climate change.
And arresting dissenters and innocent bystanders
And homelessness, and actual education for people.
Yeah, "and".
You could probably actually solve a lot of problems in the world with this money.
Yeah, the party of "fiscal responsibility" is always like "WHERE WOULD WE GET THE MONEY FOR THAT?!!?!?" whenever it comes to a cause that's actually important or would help people.
"The same place you always get the money for your greedy money-grubbing ventures that exclusively benefit you and your cronies" is what I would tell them.
If we just stop sending billions and trillions of dollars to the already rich, then maybe we could fix society and save the planet?
But no, there's never "money for that"...
We always have money for other stuff.
