It's funny because people now are way more depressed than during the literal constant wars in europe. Just a few years ago, we had nothing but small sporadic conflicts, yet people still screamed that we're all doomed. Makes you wonder doesn't it?

The only truly bipartisan topic in American Politics is that the Defense budget always goes up.

Remember, the difference between propaganda and information is does it serve US interests.

The US just passed a $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill a few years ago for those schools and roads that are "falling apart" on top of the ~$125 billion spent annually on transportation and education at the federal level. States and local government pay another ~$700 billion per year for education and ~$350 billion per year on transportation.
