"I don't want to support lazy people!"
You try hard capitalism sycophants have got a funny way of showing it, laboring for greedy bastards who sit back lazily and watch their money make money instead of laboring for society, and under a CEO who spends most of their time "networking" aka bullshitting, while habitually drinking on the job because their office has a bar.
You must love supporting lazy people since you donate most of your labor's value to them every workday.

Insane, isn't it? Glorification of the 'Protestant work ethic' was a mistake; abolish neocalvinism now pls
Right? They love lazy people. It's just they're rich. In this dystopian country, when you're rich, you get worshiped by bootlicking morons and can do nothing wrong. Literally everything you do is totally awesome and cool and you're super smart. You can even commit whatever crimes you want when you're rich with zero consequences. Just write a check to everyone and go about your day. What a fucking joke.
With all the money we've spent on Ukraine, a pointless money laundering scheme for the MIC, we could've done so much good in this country.

Yes, nothing quite as pointless as fighting against literal massacres and ethnic cleansing
We sent older weapons that were already bought and paid for. The replacements are already budgeted. That money is getting spent, no matter what.
We're getting free intelligence on how modern wars are fought, particularly against our enemy. (That enemy would be Russia, for any Republicans in the room that were confused.)
We're getting free intelligence on how our weapons perform killing Russian armor, drones, aircraft and meat.
The US, along with the rest of NATO, is propping up an ally. One that will join NATO about 2 seconds after this is done. Russia will now have another enemy at the gates. And let's not forgot that this war caused Finland, and other nations to join, stretching Russia's NATO border by 1,340km.
Win WIN in my book!
We all know why they're objecting. Because a Democrat is in office. Otherwise, they'd be full on war hawk, as usual. Well, there's also the uncomfortable truth that a good many of our Congressmen are bought and paid for by Putin, including a former President.

And some of them were literally nearing their expiration date. It's insane how far some people will go to try and defang a reasonably free and democratic country from defending itself.
It’s because they’re not expressing genuine empathy. Groups that need something/help are just a cudgel to be used against another group that needs something so neither are helped.

I wrote a whole paragraph about that but I deleted because I didn’t like how I communicated it lol
I know the feeling.
Only with blue and red partisans.
But you'll be hard-pressed getting blue and red partisans to give a crap about the economic situation in middle class and poor America.
