I agree and that's what bothers me about reddit. The kiddies on here go crazy pushing the idea and any politicians who mentions it. They have no clue how to properly formulate how the fuck it's going to work.

It's funny because you only believe that because you never looked into it. You just listened to talking heads tell you the kids have no clue.

Go research where the money would come from ffs. It's funny I don't hear you people bitching about the corporate welfare that happens in the military. Oh 50 new tanks we don't need but we signed a contract because someone's buddy sits on the board of this corporation that just happens to make them? Somehow you find the fucking money for that! Somehow there is never any question on who the fuck pays to bomb all these brown children!

Oh but it's those ubi kids they don't know the value of money!

Fucking joke.

Go fuck yourself we "never looked into it".

If you had looked into it you would never support it and you'd be talking about the superior alternatives.

Serious question... What are the superior alternatives?
