The current system is so accountable
We have pipelines exploding, oil companies buying reweable companies to shelf them so oil usage doesn't take a hit, pedestrian hostile infrastructure
Didn't the USA military lose a nuke? And like billions a year of the pentagon budget is unexplained? No no it's the Soviets that are unaccountable
The virgin "there are only two genders" vs the chad "there are only two economic systems"
Oh yes let's just switch to the "accountable" economic system. It's not the current one and it's not the soviet one, that much we have figured out
I don't know where you got the idea that I was saying that capitalism was accountable?
How many guesses do you think you'd need to figure it out
It's not "lost". They're safely storing it in a NC swamp. It's so secure that even they can't find it.
Imagine defending a failed authoritarian state that repressed and killed 10s of millions of its own people.

You're right I do have to imagine it because I didn't do that
Edit I should have gone with a "you're just telling me this right now for the first time" meme
Starving population, healthcare access, nuclear meltdown in the 80s, nuclear testing on (unknowing) humans, all the deregulation causing mass pollution, etc.
USA losing one nuke is nothing compared to the amount the Soviets lost over the years
FTFY.
