I think we’re all fucked, because the monsters who run all of this value money over other’s lives, and it helps with military retention. I’m sure there are people who wanted to get out of the service, but were worried about healthcare costs.
The private sector doesn’t care, as long as the lines keep going up. And the government doesn’t want to lose one of their sticks to keep people on their bases and ships.
So they’ll buy mansions, and yachts, and travel the world. While I have to sit at home, just waiting for the day to be able to afford a vacation. And I’ll sit and watch as our tax money is used by private businesses for stadiums, or mine-resistant vehicles for suburban cops, or to turn brown children into skeletons.
All the while, you’re sitting there with constant pain and all the world cares about is the amount of testosterone in athletes at the Olympics. That’s what’s driving conversations these days. More circuses to distract us from the real problems.
My dad said I would struggle to manage an average life, but look at me now dad! I’m makin this shit look easy!
