Look, I’m just showing you raw data for how the money is spent. Argue what you want about the utility of that spent money but you can’t argue we spend more of defense than on our own people. 49% of our budget goes toward entitlement programs. I’d like to see what other highly regarded countries are spending as a percentage of yearly expenses - I doubt they extend much beyond 25-30%.

Top 4 spending is social security, health, and Medicare: https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/federal-spending/

Don’t fall for bullshit pictures without something to back it up. We spend a lot of fucking money in the US on non-war shit (most) and people like me that care where their taxes go know this.

I’m dreaming of an oversupply of trade workers. It’s too expensive right now to get any work done. Lots of scammers too.

Way way more people use the Shaka to mean Shaka as opposed to call me. If you use that symbol to mean call me, I can’t really help you, but I’ve never actually seen that in real life after like 1995.

Unicode naming can be wrong (and it is here) and that’s ok.

It almost sounds like you’re describing a charge card instead of a credit card. American Express offers those in the US, but it’s not nearly as widespread in usage as a standard bank credit card.

Hey buddy, just wanna let you know you’re pretty stupid and you might need to get that condition checked out by your doctor.

The MOND crowd pops up every now and then and makes some noise in the dark matter community. Evidence we do have points us toward matter, which is why we have billions being spent on detectors through various governments and collaborations around the world.

I’m not sure what direct detection experiments are going to do once we hit the neutrino floor.

This is basically the philosophy of the Amish. I’ll pass.

Please never go to costco. There’s already too many people and I like my space. You can spend your extra dollars at Safeway or wherever else you’d like.

This is how hackaday posts have been… for like a decade. I guess it’s somewhere between articles and link aggregator.

Don’t look into the politics of the person who probably made those stickers!

I just don’t really give a shit. I like the car and it works well for me and provides a lot of comfort. I’m sure the ceos of all the other car companies are equally as shitty as Elon but quiet so does it really even matter? Don’t kid yourself that you’re saving the world for buying a Volvo or Toyota instead of a Tesla.
