    bloatligarchs will still ensure a world in which their wealth/ownership is perpetually increasing. right now that’s going on through robbing the taxpayer. they buy holdings in defense/military conglomerates, the government calls it a matter of “national security,” throws billions of (our) dollars at said industries, invades countries, and prices for those stocks skyrocket

    yes, your kids may die, but that’s a sacrifice they fucking nut over making
