We're just a resource to them, like oil, or forests, or water. An input to get a desired output. People and material goes in one side, product comes out the other side. What happens in the black box, stays in the black box, they don't understand it, or care to.

You're either filthy rich, or you're in the black box.

yes, always. It's the last phase of a dying empire

I wonder if this will finally be the point where Americans decide that their military has enough money?

Probably not.

Unfortunately both parties have made it clear imperialism is the priority.

And leadershit will have the balls to ask: "Why did people stop reproducing‽"

Its a budget proposal that needs to make it through congressional approval. And as usual the centrist dems are either asleep at the wheel, or paid to be complicit. I havent seen any pushback on this at all-- or the massive cuts to social programs, nasa, schools-- pretty much everything. They arent even pretending to push back.

Dems tax and give money to social programs, while trying to lower the deficit. Republicans don't raise taxes or even lower them and give money to military while increasing the national debt. Both parties are deeply involved with billionaires, corporations, and Israel.
