Making us suffer is a policy choice.
I'd call it a lifestyle choice as well
@Lana yup, it's structural, suffering is extremely profitable, and highly targeted at the most disadvantaged

Dec 15, 2025, 9:41 AM@Lana The purpose of a system is what it does, and this system is functioning perfectly.
It's been time for a new system since, oh, March 1789.
@Lana They could know better: „Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.“ – Dwight D. Eisenhower
Thing is, this list still looks like wasteful spending. Sometimes people with big incomes ALSO max out their cards with frivolous waste.
There is nothing fiscally responsible about this administration.
