Taking food from the hungry and healthcare from the sick are deliberate and sadistic acts of inflicting pain, suffering and shortening lives – en masse.
And sadism never exists in isolation, it's always accompanied by psychopathy-sociopathy (ASPD).

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

"Sickening perversion" sums up the current administration.
In my youth, we were inspired by our govt to serve, to volunteer, to help our fellow man around the world. We were inspired by JFK, the Peace Corps, USAID, then later Americares. To have that instilled in us, then watch it being destroyed by the richest men in the world is a sickening perversion.
