does efficiency only apply when we're increasing suffering?

Yes, correct. These are the rules of hellworld

California high speed rail = inconveniancing white landowners

Boarder wall = getting to destroy indigenous graves and harm people displaced by US foreign policies

And we can just waive laws now? Since fucking when?

I started looking into it and found this:

The controversial work, which included construction on federally designated wilderness, was permitted under the Real ID Act. Created in the wake of the September 11 attacks, the act grants DHS the authority to waive any law, including bedrock statutes meant to safeguard the environment and areas of cultural significance, to build border barriers in the name of national security.

And we can just waive laws now?

the laws have never applied to the ruling class.

Oh, so the dumb fucking wall is still happening?

always has been

And we can just waive laws now?

We cannot; they can. The ruling class has only practical constraints on what it can do, but in truth bears no legal obligation to anything but itself. Individuals in the ruling class may receive punishment for lawbreaking, having violated their obligation to their class, but when the ruling class moves in a unified fashion, there is no such thing as them being bound by their own laws, because they are the ones who write the laws, enforce the laws, and rule on allegations that the law was broken (or, more accurately, they own the people who do those things). In a capitalist society, what has the general support of capitalists and thereby the major parties is always going to be "legal" unless a divide forms in that coalition.

Because the Democrats' issue with what the GOP does at the border isn't the cruelty but the inefficiencies. They could run the immigrant-mulching machine so much quicker and cheaper.

fascist border policy has always been bipartisan in Amerikkka

It's impossible to be a capitalist and not eventually turn to ethnic scapegoating to explain why everything is so shitty.

This displays like a very strange political compass meme on my screen.

It won’t stop anything.

It stops plenty of migratory species, some of which are endangered

"Destroy"

I know you can see these posts you little piece of shit

Who gives a fuck about

that clean water, National history, those migratory birds (X2), that clean air, that wildlife refuge system, those eagles, fish and wildlife (X2), archaeological resources, paleontological resources, that clean water again, the noise we make, the solid waste we dispose of, any liability or compensation for environmental harm, and whatever the fuck an antiquity is
