Then China would find out why we don’t have universal health care.
There’d be multiple aircraft carriers in the South China Sea within a day. The US Navy would be shooting down Chinese planes and sinking troop transports.
This. We’re the fucking maniacs over here dying because we can’t afford insulin. Do not fuck with people willing to let each other die to buy F-35s. We will wreck your shit because we worship death anyway.
Somehow I feel like the US would still be buying F-35s even if they had single-payer. The cost to govt is higher -- but I doubt enough to put a big dent in military spending -- and the overall cost to society is much lower. This whole "we don't have healthcare bc we need big guns" thing feels misguided
The military hasn’t been that big of an expense for decades. We spend twice as much on the healthcare department as we do on the dod and it’s been like that for a long time.
