Also, our government is so hugely corrupt all the way down to state and local levels in schemes with construction companies and stuff. It&#39;s all a big legalized bullshit way to expropriate wealth from the workers and hand them over to business. @arcana@layer02.net <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1cupvfgyczefhgrtdh3c37ckv32ypg6mqe6flu3yfuhjphumpz59sw35s6r" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Trash Panda</span> (<span class="italic">npub1cup…5s6r</span>)</a></span> <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1kzrtt79qu4lrnn3l0l4puupju6yej4cutmw07udvgd84wrw5phgsxu3yhr" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>npub1kzrtt79qu4lrnn3l0l4puupju6yej4cutmw07udvgd84wrw5phgsxu3yhr</span> (<span class="italic">npub1kzr…3yhr</span>)</a></span> 2024-09-13T15:45:05+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs2ufas0gedq6f5z06p4rqldy29nw47slj0c60y6nr8rw3sqyyqspszyq2swefly37tu7dg88tha6pvn69t6qj67ua2flrjcju2dt3wljh5yat5ra7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsr9qhzgh9uu83vxt8tkx7we75v63lmx8y6vfkgyzw86en25qhq2ncmhvs85'>nevent1q…vs85</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I am not opposed to taxes in principle nor would I be opposed to or unhappy about paying my taxes if I was consistently seeing public services and infrastructure *working* and being maintained and functioning efficiently.

And, by design, only on a small subset of issues (e.g. &#34;abortion rights&#34;). The same oligarchic entities will remain in power, though. The same dominant ideology will remain enforced. We&#39;re going to invade the same countries no matter what. We&#39;re going to make the same geopolitical and economic policies regardless. The real agendas are protected from any criticism or question or push-back because we&#39;re encouraged to bicker about dumb shit like transgender bathroom access or whatever the fuck the hot ticket item of the day is.
