    I keep thinking that instead of spending approximately $1B a day attacking Iran - killing, maiming, hurting people, poisoning the ground, damaging infrastructure, creating a future humanitarian criteria, what if, everyday, we dropped a $1B in cash in $50 bundles?

    Would we have a better outcome?

      Taking money in taxes and giving it to poor people is the worst outcome for American Conservatives. This way the money goes to contractors that provide materials and services to wage war.

      But how would billionaires exploit that to stay in power, artificially create more scarcity and uncertainty, and make more money?

    What I don't understand is why Congress is doing nothing. Today we were told Trump went to war because he 'felt' we were threatened by Iran. Absolute BS. See video here: https://x.com/The_Kremlinn/status/2031757780248297564?s=20

    This on top of everything else. Goodbye American empire. It was nice while it lasted.

      Maybe you're too young to remember but it was the exact same thing for the war in Irak.

      Because congress is controlled by the Republican party and the Republicans are authoritarians who have bent the knee to Donald Trump, elevating him over their country and sworn duty.

      What did I even read. More tinfoil for this man’s hat!

        Don't wrinkle my tinfoil, it messes up the reception of the metal DMT elves! This is nothing really, I have conspiracy theories [spoilers] that would make Duncan Trussell and Alex Jones roll their eyes.

      Either LLM free hallucinations or a markov-chain.

      The only time you set violent criminals loose on another country is when you desire genocide of the people of that country.

        Historically accurate but in this case mini-genocide of bunker dwellers, missiles and Marvel comic collections.
