Sadly I think the country needs to default, hit bottom. perhaps people will wake the hell up and realize we don't need millions of dollars going to things that don't amount to a hill of beans.
Enviromental justice? What the fuck is that,other than putting America back on to it's bare feet for transportation?

Just looking over it for a few minutes,I see So many wasteful things money is being spent on

The only thing that matters is who won and who lost

Yeah, you would almost say children are safer anywhere than in school.
But that's on you for making it easier to use an assault rifle than to drive a car.

But these days, if you don't have a decent education, you are sentenced to poverty.
Relaxing those laws will turn away even more children from school.

Actually, Article 25-A of the Constitution of Pakistan obligates the state to provide free and compulsory quality education to children of the age group 5 to 16 years.
Education is certainly poor, but you have to compare your country with a third world country to come out on top? Is it MAGA to have such low standards?
If you want America to be great, support things that will make it great. Education is one of the most important factors in doing that. Child labor does the opposite.

Money is just the system that humanity invented to cooperate together. Before that, for thousands of years, people just worked on their land and hunted for food. When they had too much grain to eat, but no fresh game meat to diversify their diet, they bartered with other people who specialized in hunting and had too much game meat to diversify. That is however a very inefficient system, so other people saw a job in helping people barter their products and keeping a share for themselves. At some point they needed to simplify the bartering and invented trading, because there is not always someone who has a demand for the goods they supplied. They first started to use seashells as trade-goods, because if you live a long way of the coast, seashells are hard to come by and therefore useful as money, until you get smart-assess seeing a profit in traveling to get seashells. That's where the invention of metal coins came in. It's very difficult for the average farmer or hunter to make metal coins by themselves and the labor that it took to make them was proportional to the value those coins represented. That is the beginning of money, but it is actually not money yet, because the coins are just as useful by themselves as refined ore for making metal tools and weapons. The coins turned into money, when the value represented by the coins became higher than the value of the metal itself. That eventually created an economy where accumulating money was more important than the original goal of simplifying bartering.

Our economy is now fully dependent on money. It has moved further away from its original use than the difference between bartering and trading. Money now mostly represents a value of trust; trust that the total sum of existing money of a country can be represented by the total productivity of a country. We still use it as a form of compensation for work, but it can also be created out of nothing and given to people who have not done any work for that money.
I agree, it's not easy to find a working alternative for money.
There are however many alternatives to distribute money, than the system that society has changed bartering into.

Talking down to me in that condescending tone is not productive. You clearly did not address any of what I said and offered up the same repeated talking points all who are in a cult do. There is no argument you just made. I'm talking about a different framework, and you know that Phart. Me being a new member has nothing to do with my capacity to be non-biased. That was purely an ad hominem.

Well said, Phart.

Amen
