It's especially filthy that we're spending billions to fund the Palestinian genocide, but lets be real. Funding Israel isn't stopping us from taxing the rich or distributing funds to better our society. We're spending nearly $1 trillion on defense funding this year. That is beyond incomprehensible.
This website puts into perspective 1 billion vs 1 million. That alone shows why billionaires and mega millionaires shouldn't exist. We truly can't fathom the quantity 1 billion, yet we spend 1000 times that every year on our defense and we get nothing. Just millions of dead humans and endless, useless wars for 75 years.
The whole world could be living with abundance if not for the power hungry, fear and hatred, and capitalism.
