I mean a lot of government shit is still on the old cobol code.
You can't upgrade when congress won't allocate money for your department to do so. Or raise the taxes necessary to raise that money.
Fuck raising taxes (unless it's only rich fucks and corporations then I'm OK with it) they can take 1% of that infinite money stream they have running for the defense budget. We don't $1 trillion for the military
I'm not sure why you assumed I meant anyone other than the rich and corporations on the Lemmy news community.
I didn't assume anything. You didn't specify so I wanted to specify it to make it known. High five :)
I see this happen to you a lot; don't forget the safest place to make and attack straw-men is usually the place with the least valid targets. You're a perpetual victim of missed nuance and that is the cost of discourse nowadays. I'd say don't let the bastards grind you down but there's not even that many here just people assuming you're the bastard.
Thanks. I'm not worried about it. Most of the time they just confuse me.
We don't even need to increase taxes at all, the budget they have is completely insane, it's that lie that keeps getting us to the "we don't have the money so we need to raise taxes". We have it, we just have children who don't know how to manage it spending it.
Yeah, it's insane that we are approaching the one trillion a year for the defense budget. I can only imagine the amount of fraud and money stealing that goes into that shit.
Yep, check out how much we spend on healthcare. It's nearly double of what other countries spend per person via single payer. That's how fucked the system is. We literally can, right this very second, implement single payer and have the funds for it.
Where does the Healthcare money go? Are you like talking medicaid and Medicare?

Mostly costs from insurance and private industry charging prices that are just insane.
Also don't cry when you see the life expectancy vs per capita cost.... Germany is #2 cost wise and we're still 4k over what they spend on their people. We literally spend so much and get so little in return.
It's so fucked up how private companies triple and quadruple their fees once they see the word "government". Shit should be heavily regulated, but we just have a truly shitty and corrupt government.
