From the same article: “The efficiency is grossly misunderstood by those who count troops and believe the happy talk that emanates from officialdom that progress is being made, that forces are being withdrawn or that ‘ending’ wars means either ending a war or connotes success.”

We’ve got to untie war from our economy so there’s no profit able to made from it. The U.S. can’t prioritize ethics & human life while it’s prioritizing profit.

I have to jump through multiple bureaucratic hoops to get my mother Medicaid that she paid into the system her whole life for. But, as soon as they need a fleet of fighter jets money magically appears. 🤬

I read the article ... there will still be thousands of troops left in Afghanistan after the US Troops leave on May 1st ... why? you might ask ... because today the bulk of our wars are being fought by ... PRIVATE PAID CONTRACTORS ... and ... DRONES ...

When we start rewarding individuals for making people and planet better that’s when we’ll see an end to this destruction. Good news is @Copiosis has a brilliant blueprint showing us how to do this without hurting anyone along the way, including the very rich.

I want to see every public school nationwide receive 1:1 matching funds from the federal government so school buildings can be safer and teacher + staff salaries can be DOUBLED with no loss in benefits. Teachers in Indiana, where I live, start out around $36-$38K/year.
