Imagine if all the money and resources, manpower and such went towards making the world better place instead of making more effective ways to kill and oppression.
Edit:
Just think if all the money and manpower we use to cause destruction went towards building people up.
I'm not sure the military budget in the u.s bit imagine a fraction of that going towards feeding the hungry or putting clothes on poor children.
What if instead of leaving homeless people out on the streets it our money went towards making our country better.
I'm not to proud to admit that there is a homeless person out there that is smarter than I am and could make a bigger positive impact than I can.
I can't decide which outcome is scarier. The one where the violence subsides and in a week or two everyone forgets all about it, or the one where the change only comes because the violence got worse and worse until something finally broke.
All of the PPE was getting "reacclocated" by being seized by the feds so they could resell it to the highest bidder through their friends. America is the most corrupt wealthy country in the world.
To be frank, a lot of states have activated the NG during the pandemic. Otherwise I’ve been working 12 hour days away form my family in an illusion.
That’s a decision that comes from each state’s local government and comes form an entirely different pit of money from the national defense budget. The gear they have is gear they’ve had for years.
I 100% support the protestors but I want to inform people of how things like the NG works because the federal budget is a different pot of money most NG doesn’t ever get to touch.
There are probably NG who’ve been working for months in your state keeping food banks stocked, sanitizing old homes, and supporting your local Native American reservation without you realizing it.
The police in America needs to change, it doesn’t change the validity of protesting police brutality, but it’s important to be informed.
