I angrily wrote this same thing in the politics thread. It’s absurd. If 40,000 people get a pin it’s about $25K in cost. (quick estimate off a whole seller website). Like you said, in a time of money tightness we can fund this but will furlough, fly our planes lean on gas, and claim SILs are not enough to matter. This matter is not only divisive (because of the similarities to the BLM organization itself) but also fiscally irresponsible. You can’t say we need to save every cent and then make political feel good stunts when we are “fighting for our survival.”
