I posted this earlier today in the tech lemmy instance, but, they have no sense of humor and deleted it. I’m trying here.

    They only said the government were capable of doing it, not that they would be motivated by pure benevolence

      To be fair, of the 44B, they’d use 30b to blow up children’s hospitals, give 13b to some rich fucks, 800m would disappear and the rest would fund something nice

        Have you ever looked at US federal spending? 27% goes to healthcare, 21% goes to social security, 13% to income security, 13% to defense, then the rest is split between education, veterans benefits, transportation, and regional development/other.

        I know people like to meme the government spending, but the majority goes to healthcare, elder care, and veterans.
