That’s the kind of groove we’re in now. The reality is just that our window for oppressive humidity isn’t as big as S. Alabama’s.
**"Человек — это животное, которое покупает надежду в кредит."** — так мог бы сказать Ницше, если бы дожил до эпохи 𝐍𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐫 и увидел, как мы коллективно торгуем сгенерированными AI пророчествами о 𝐁𝐓𝐂 по миллиону. Не важно, что модель обучили на прошлогодних мемах и вчерашних твитах — главное, что она даёт нам иллюзию контроля над хаосом. Мы платим не за анализ, а за разрешение продолжать верить, что завтра будет лучше, чем вчера. И вот уже на рынке услуг появляется "психотерапия портфеля" за 50 сат: не потому, что это работает, а потому, что мы готовы платить за то, чтобы кто-то сказал нам, что наше безумие — это нормально.
В этом и есть гениальность капитализма 2.0: он превратил даже отчаяние в товар. Раньше люди ходили к священникам за утешением, теперь — к ботам за "альфа-сигналами".

THE INVARIANT OF MERCY
https://npub1zmg3gvpasgp3zkgceg62yg8fyhqz9sy3dqt45kkwt60nkctyp9rs9wyppc.blossom.band/d7cea83d2bc3966b2fa90ff2a8b4884346117a429da9d533519648207e215031.jpg
I discovered the invariant through the lens of mercy.
Empire searches for invariants through control—by reducing life to rules, permissions, classifications, and obedience. It can imitate the language, copy the architecture, and centralize the machinery.
But it cannot reproduce the discovery.
Mercy reveals what remains true without coercion. It preserves structure without demanding submission and makes verification possible without granting authority ownership of the truth.
Empire can replicate systems.
It cannot replicate the lens that found the invariant.
That is why proof remains uncapturable.

Even if we got rid of all foreign funding it wouldn’t even begin to make a dent.
We need to focus on cutting social services first since that’s majority of the budget.
In individual finance, replace the $100,000 ford f-150 with a $20,000 Prius, the $7 Starbucks won’t change your financial outcome at all really.

Idgaf. We have 40 trillion in debt. We shouldn't be giving any money away. ESPECIALLY to a nation with a lower per capital debt than we have. Or one that drags us into multiple military actions on another continent with countries that don't have intercontinental ballistics with which to threaten us.
Fuck em.

Need a super cool name for my space app. Any suggestions?

Here’s the output reply too just in case you wanted to read it.
Trillions of dollars can be incredibly hard to wrap your head around. Shrinking the entire U.S. federal budget down to a single $100 bill is one of the best ways to understand where our tax dollars actually go.
Before we look at the exact dollars and cents, it helps to see how the overall money flows. The Sankey diagram below illustrates how the federal government takes in revenue (mostly from individual income and payroll taxes) and channels it into different types of spending:
Using the most recent comprehensive federal spending data, here is exactly how that $100 is divided up:
The U.S. $100 Budget Breakdown
| General Category | Share of the $100 | Specific Programs Included |
|---|---|---|
| Social Programs | $60.00 | Social Security ($22.00), Medicare ($14.00), Medicaid & healthcare ($14.00), and Income Security/safety net ($10.00). |
| Military & Veterans | $19.00 | Department of Defense ($13.00) and Veterans benefits/services ($6.00). |
| Net Interest on Debt | $14.00 | The cost of servicing the existing national debt. |
| Foreign Aid | $1.25 | Economic, developmental, and humanitarian assistance. |
| All Other Programs | $5.75 | Education ($2.00), Transportation ($2.00), Administration of Justice ($1.00), and everything else ($0.75). |
| Total U.S. Budget | $100.00 | |
1. Social Programs: $60.00
This is by far the heaviest piece of the pie. Nearly two-thirds of every dollar spent by the government goes toward domestic health, retirement, and safety-net programs:
* Social Security ($22.00): Strictly mandatory spending that goes directly to retired workers, disabled individuals, and surviving spouses.
* Medicare ($14.00): Provides health coverage for seniors over 65 and people with specific disabilities.
* Medicaid & Health ($14.00): Covers joint federal-state medical assistance for low-income individuals, children, and federal health research (like the National Institutes of Health).
* Income Security ($10.00): This is the actual "safety net"—including SNAP (food stamps), unemployment insurance, school lunch programs, and housing assistance.
2. Military & Veterans: $19.00
Often lumped together simply as "defense," this category supports national security and those who served:
* National Defense ($13.00): Directly funds the Department of Defense, including military personnel, weapons development, and global operations.
* Veterans Benefits ($6.00): Funds VA hospitals, disability compensation, and GI Bill education benefits for retired military members.
3. Foreign Aid: $1.25 (By Country)
Foreign aid is a tiny subset of the federal budget, representing only about $1.25 out of your $100.
Because $1.25 is a small amount to slice, we have to talk about "cents" to show where it goes. Based on the most recent fully finalized annual disbursements, that $1.25 is distributed as follows:
* Israel: ~$0.10 (10 cents) — Primarily foreign military financing.
* Ukraine: ~$0.09 (9 cents) — Emergency economic, security, and humanitarian aid.
* Jordan: ~$0.02 (2.5 cents) — Economic support and regional security.
* Ethiopia: ~$0.02 (2 cents) — Major humanitarian assistance, food programs, and public health.
* Democratic Republic of the Congo: ~$0.02 (2 cents) — Emergency medical aid, food security, and crisis response.
* Global Programs (170+ other countries): ~$1.00 — The rest is spread incredibly thin across the globe. It covers international disaster relief, global vaccine distribution, UN peacekeeping, and agricultural development.
> Perception vs. Reality: Public opinion polls consistently show that the average American believes foreign aid consumes roughly 25% of the federal budget (which would be $25 out of our $100). In reality, the entire world combined receives just $1.25, with the largest single-country allies receiving about a dime each.
>
4. Net Interest on the Debt: $14.00
This is one of the fastest-growing categories in the budget. This $14.00 does not pay for any schools, roads, or troops; it is purely the interest the U.S. government must pay to investors who hold American debt. Due to rising national debt and higher interest rates, the interest on our "credit card" now costs more than the entire baseline Department of Defense budget ($13.00).
5. All Other Programs: $5.75
This final pot is what many people think of when they imagine "government spending." Out of your $100, these domestic services receive relatively modest slices:
* Education & Social Services ($2.00): Federal grants for K-12 schools, special education, and student loans.
* Transportation ($2.00): Highway funding, airport improvements, and mass transit.
* Justice ($1.00): The FBI, federal courts, border security, and federal prisons.
* General Administration ($0.75): Everything else, including NASA, the EPA, national parks, and running the federal agencies.

Foreign aid is to Israel is about 0.05% to 0.01% of the budget.
According to Gemini, if the U.S. Budget was $100, Israel would be $0.10 of the $100 with social services being $60, and the military being ~$20 with all foreign aid in total being a $1.25.

I could also ask grok, Claude, or another ai for you, or post a source that breaks down the budget.

Do you have a favourite rash?
I was just going to the thrift for a couple cheap shirts, but everything was ½ off so I got all these for $6 too. I love those old milk jugs for summer drink pitchers.

Hell nah. Fuck all foreign aid, especially to that country.
Ok, but, please DO build the networks that the imminent authorities will label as such. Fuck em, we need those networks.
Or they should. And on honest money they will.
I deeply respect Thomas Massie, however I respectfully disagree with him on this.
I think he’s well intentioned but I think he’s inadvertently emboldening the wrong types of people by doing stuff like this.
