Like usual something that's specifically for the US is posted like it's true for the rest of the world, or like the rest of the world doesn't exist.
It's not even true for the US. The bulk of our gdp goes to health care and social security.
Do you get health care and social security
Yeah, a little
I totally agree, as a US citizen. It's bullshit that we dominate the zeigthiedt of the world in general, but shit is fucked here. I really think we're reaching a turning point of some sort. And I think we're bazaarly influential on the rest of the earth. We suck. I feel sucky. A lot of us feel sucky. IDK. I'm honestly sorry for sucking so fucking hard.
Russia is just that now, I can tell. War spending and security services spending first, with a large margin of that compensating existing corruption, everything else is either populistic balloons or can fuck a knife. I don't think US has it as relatable as we do.
Third of federal budget is fucking secret and top secret. Fucking bunker rat.
