Something deeply fucked up when you can blindly break basic state functions and condemn millions to death and then people make you the richest man in the world instead of a pariah

The money we are using to feed ppl in Gaza and Houston, that we are using to pay medical bills, is being stolen by bomb maker and “insurance” companies. It could be used to fund our own rest, care and retirements. We are subsidizing their pockets with our lost retirement funds.

Ofc ppl will and should support each other via mutual aid. But we cannot both be taxed by the state (which uses our taxes to kill) AND capitalize the functions OF the state w our meagre post-tax earnings.

Something that makes me angry is that we can't capitalize SNAP. I see good people using their modest means to try to feed the starving ppl of Gaza, while the US spends tens of billions bombing them. Now we are trying to feed each other, while the US steals from us. Same with GoFundMe healthcare.

Good lord. He thinks Total Fertility Rates are percentages. It's lifetime number of children per woman; 2.1 (maybe more like 2.07) is stability because a tiny percentage of people die tragically before they have a chance to start families of their own. How can these people be so stupid?

Funniest possible person to say nothing bad happened when he was a kid as a result of everyone having guns
RFK Jr: We had lots of guns when we were kids. Kids brought guns to school and were encouraged to do so. And nobody was walking into schools and shooting people. There are many things that could explain this. One is the dependence on psychiatric drugs.
