4 months agoYour options for where your tax money goes in general are pretty bad. You can pay to make sure the military intentionally overspends and avoids budget cuts or similar issues. It can go towards police arresting the homeless, a punishment that is either summary execution or forcibly giving them a home with staff and a meal, that is designed to abuse them.
Or you can be OK with that money just giving them a home and food, and not carrying about making sure that a prison guard treats them and the other employees that work there like shit.
While not being the best example, my partner isn’t capable of being vegan currently due to gastrointestinal issues that force a very restrictive diet - which relies on some amount of meat.
That said all these comments are nowhere close to thinking about that type of nuance.
