The DODGE thing was excellent, found tons of crazy bloat and waste and theft, ofcourse gov decided to ignore like 95% of the recommendations.
This was obvious as asking welfair folks if they think we should end welfare, which is all most gov jobs are
I read Gov wants 200 BILLION for their new Middle East war, some folks were like “rather it go to war than welfare” meanwhile I’m like “it’s the same thing dumbass” Working for mil in forever wars is welfare, even worse I only have to pay for the urban welfare rats groceries and rent subsidies, the war welfare guys I have to pay for the same, plus “free” college, and all the other military hardware.
It’s all so tiresome

Taxes force me to fund them with near zero ROI. Shelters and soup kitchens deliver better value than $8 trillion in post 9/11 Middle East BS wars, riddled with needless invasions, botched rebuilds costing billions in waste, failed puppets, generational redeployments, and special interest profits.

what’s your most “heroic” stock ticker? Lol
The US has long been in the drug trade, including CIA Contra cocaine operations for a LOOONG time.
Narco activity? Free market, unless it hits innocents.
Want to stop drugs (well minus all the super harmful “legal” perceptions) try raising kids who don’t go seek them out. It’s like blaming the spoon for making you fat.

Big Tobacco has been demonized for decades for pushing a dangerous, addictive product, and worse, marketing at least obliquely to kids. If tobacco didn't have deep, ancient cultural roots in society it would have been banned years ago (like they tried with booze).
But then some people turn around and defend and idolize the noble central/south american peasants for simply filling a demand north of the border.
Reality is that what the narcos peddle is significantly more addictive and dangerous than tobacco, and they actively and deliberately strive for market penetration with people who haven't done drugs (including kids/schools).
The addiction isn't an incidental side effect, it's a fundamental feature of the product (for the seller).
