Isn't it funny how political identities made it so being a decent, kind and generous human being is somehow controversial?

We don't even agree on what that is, or facts, or REALITY.

If dad says one thing about guns, the gloves come off. We're talking healthcare.

The funny joke is that we don't even need to tax billionaires, we can just invent money out of thin air or, like, not misplace a trillion a year in untracked military spending. America is in a unique global position of power and every citizen could be living like a Saudi, but that doesn't seem like a priority

Every “invent money out of thin air” is a giveaway to billionaires that you and I will pay for through taxes they are legally allowed to evade.

That’s why there was bipartisan support for PPP “loans” during COVID that never had to be repaid, but why they’re fighting tooth and nail against proposals to nullify student loans.

The funny joke is that we don’t even need ~~to tax~~ billionaires.
Or money.
Or even a state.
Maybe instead of one nation built on slavery aspiring to be more like another nation currently existing on slavery, we aspire to be a good, equitable, and just society, instead of "rich" nations where some get to enjoy the wealth while others "get" to create it..

We don't need to do any of that, we already collect more than enough to provide single payer for all. We out spend all other nations already with health care spending by nearly double.

Aaaaand this is why I don't talk to my family anymore. My boomer parents always know better. Doesn't matter the topic.

You might upset your redneck uncle who is convinced he's the next Elon Musk
