How many times in your life have you heard a member of Congress or someone on TV say โwe canโt afford itโ when talking about something small but very important? Itโs been happening my entire life. We canโt afford it? Theyโre putting seven times the annual budget of the EPA into immigrant detention.

i am simultaneously disgusted that these people exist and disappointed that i'm even more morally superior than i expected to be relative to the median human.
don't get me wrong, i like moral superiority, but i want to earn it through good deeds and care for fellow humans instead of... this.
