Interesting. When the topic is punishment, there are plenty of resources. When the topic is helping people, it's "who's footing the bill for that?!" I never saw a headline about a 1400 acre ranch being offered up to house people in poverty, but it gets offered up to imprison people with the "wrong" names and skin color. And they have the audacity to parade out "America first!" as a slogan to prioritize helping Americans before worrying about solving problems around the world.
Punishing people for allegedly coming here illegally will do nothing to help me. Them allegedly having come here illegally never hurt me. Help people who have been unhoused or addicted to harmful substances or traumatized by abuse to get to a place where that can be productive in our society. That would obviously help them, and then they would be able to help their communities. It's complicated and it's difficult, but it's work worth doing. I'm tired of lazy politicians and leaders looking for quick and easy solutions to fabricated problems so they can maximize the number of boxes that get checked. And that's a generous read on it. The reality is that they're greedy whores accepting money and power in exchange for punishing certain people while rewarding certain companies.
Republican politicians don't give a flying fuck about you and yours.
All this whining about Ukraine aid but they'll immediately blow 10x that amount to use the military to round up civilians
I don't think you could have said this any better. Thank you.
Don't worry RFK said he's going to send people on adderall and mental health drugs to a cozy summer camp. And Trump has previously blamed immigrants for the homeless problem, so obviously all he needs to do is go through the homeless camps and deport anyone without documentation.
See? How dare you say they don't have plans to place ~~Billionaires~~ Americans first!
I dont think they dont care about helping or hurting people, theyll do anything that results in power or money.
They see an opportunity here for a massive amount of exploitable slave labor, similar to prisons.
This is an investment, not an expense.
This is a fantastic observation.
