Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Wait this wasn't already a thing
How was this not already a thing
millions to anti-china propaganda, billions to ukraine and billions to isntreal takes more prominence than any domestic issue during a blue administration.
The US government is physically incapable of doing anything but print money and use violence. That's not even hyperbole, every arm of the government that used to be able to build stuff is hollowed out. If a president got into power right now and dedicated his agenda to upgrading infrastructure, they wouldn't be able to accomplish much because they'd have to hire everything out to private contractors who fleece the government. Or you'd have to build new agencies from scratch like FDR did, but he had four terms, the world's worst depression, and a world war to justify it.
It would cost a lot of money, and it wouldn't benefit the wealthy as much as tax cuts would.
Something something budget something something.
