Oh, definitely, but there's logistical issues out the wazoo. Design, tooling, ramping up production, negotiating orders, doing land surveys, ecological impact surveys, buying/eminent domaining land, the inevitable lawsuits, hiring workers, training workers, and actually putting stuff in. The Eisenhower Interstate System was fairly well planned out for a long time (there's an excellent book called Big Roads that goes into all this, and it's a fun read) and it still took decades.

Wow. Immediate vehement bitching. Sounds like I struck a nerve.

Let me explain a tad for your rude arse. All citizens of a nation have responsibilities towards their country. One of these responsibilities are called taxes. The wealth of those whose taxes were exposed are equivalent to roughly 100 million Americans (or thereabouts).

But they paid nothing, and 100 million other Americans had to pay instead for what they really should owe.

That's fucked up. You know it. All your bitching about 401k and dependents is a bunch of irrelevant "sick fuck" (wow, rude-ass much?) towards the real key issue.

WE as Americans are paying because these assholes are getting away with hoarding their shit. It's legal. It's allowed (as you rudely implied). But it is shit. And you know it.

And yes, whistle blowing means to EXPOSE shit. AKA leak -- a word which is defined as 'to make publicly known'. It's not hard to understand unless there is an intention to misunderstand. I have to seriously wonder about that.

The balance of violence is one thing to look at, and it's totally disproportionate.

But the conflict is asymmetrical in other ways. Israel is invading and occupying Palestine, and annexing it bit by bit, not the other way around: https://pic8.co/sh/naZ01C.jpeg

Israel was the aggressor in the 1967 war, which was an illegal war of annexation. It wasn't a "both sides are bad" issue: it was a surprise attack. Israel annexed East Jerusalem, "Oh but didn't Palestine also annex..." No they did not. The expansion is entirely one way.

This take is relevant because Israel claims to be acting in self-defense from the rockets. It's a claim that simply doesn't match the facts because if you look at the stats on the rocket attacks - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_Palestinian_rocket_attacks_on_Israel - they're very paltry, and Israel has this massive overreaction and annexes land, and creates what Human Rights Watch and B'Tselem have called apartheid.

The key point here is that these are not defensive actions. They are acts of aggression designed to subjugate a state that they refuse to recognise.

I mean, if there was a comic book with you as a star...

I think she's amazing and I think we need more like her, but I'm sure she's not deaf to the whole "Chosen One" vibe. Hero-worship can go to anyone's head, no matter how grounded you are.

I say this time and time again whenever this topic comes up but the hardest I worked was in high school making minimum wage at a chain pizza shop. 10 hour back breaking shifts with the whole "if you have time to lean, you have time to clean" attitude.

I make double that now as a college student in between classes sitting in a computer lab doing homework on the side. If a panhandler in Toronto makes more an hour than minimum wage is I feel like there's a problem

Not just gme, but a bunch of others -- and not just companies that one could argue have questionable financial viability:

But, alas, I repeat myself.

Your reasoning is abstract rather than concrete. You need to read "Basic Economics." It states very plainly, and concretely, tons of reasons why communism is horrible. And why the free market is good. And how to solve a lot of the problems associated with capitalism (which aren't really due to capitalism but due to corruption, which you will find in communism and everywhere else).

If you are pretty sure it won't change your mind, fair enough, but still read it anyway to at least better fortify your own positions and understand the points from the other side. If you don't know the points from the other side, you don't know your side that well either.

Have you read this book? It is addressed. If you aren't interested in reading, he has plenty of video.

The Meritocracy Trap

It's true that people of all kinds have become trained, accustomed, and invested in our unjust system of inequalities.

As mentioned, I would recommend reading Isabel Wilkerson's recent best-seller "Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents". In America, race is the main (but not sole) factor defining the castes.

You do realize that an accounting adjustment is not an expenditure? You do realize that quoting a dollar amount for an accounting adjustment is almost meaningless? These news articles keep popping up and the comments are filled with wOw thEy sPenT 35 trIlLioN. I never denied that it is a sign of waste - it is not, however, an expense, and the 35 trillion dollar tag carries no weight. You could make some more arbitrary accounting adjustments that could bring that tag to 60 trillion while still netting zero. And fuck off with the "basic economics" - let me know how supply and demand is going to help you make some accounting entries. Why don't you take an accounting 101 class. Jesus christ, most people on reddit just got out of their AP gov class and feel like they know how the world works.

Here's a book if you're having trouble: https://www.amazon.com/Little-Accounting-basics-babies-accountants-ebook/dp/B07Q572VC2

If you're interested in learning about investing in index funds as a way to achieving financial independence, I would recommend reading The Simple Path to Wealth by J. L. Collins (especially if you are American; the book references a few American topics like 401k's, though most of the content is applicable to a global audience). It's a relatively short book that covers the basics of index fund investing (both the "why" and "how") without being overly dry or getting lost in details.

On Reddit, there is /r/financialindependence, but Reddit being Reddit, people can get a bit silly there.
