We apparently have all kinds of money to dump into domestic terrorism but we ain't got shit when it comes to healthcare, education, climate action, infrastructure, emergency planning/prevention...

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Rich people need poor white people distracted by culture wars.
I have been out of work for two years. There's a ton of us. This is a plot to get guys like me to jump at the money and sell our souls.
I'll keep my soul. I need that more than ever with that illegitimate administration. They can stuff their jobs.
The Nazi party of Germany did it. Even alleviated men of their child support responsibilities.
These guys are making as much or more than I do. They got a giant ass budget for nothing that currently exists. They know what they are doing. They're probably hoping to recruit a lot of former military.
After this, the Nazi party pretty much mandated that professional positions required party membership. Plenty of professors, for instance, refused, and received cuts in pay and demotions. I like to believe those policies indirectly helped the Allies win by slowing the various weapon programs.
Never count out sabotage. Especially if they're stupid and the 50k is awarded at signing or with the e first check.
Those bonuses come with terms that require repayment to prevent that.
Yes usually. But these people are both stupid and corrupt. Someone should make sure. For science... And the ammusment of others.
spend 4 years in college, get certified, start teaching children, get yelled at by parents and principals for giving a student who was on their phone for the whole class a C, make $45,000/year
play apex legends in the basement shouting racial slurs and eating cheetos for 2 years, get a $50,000 signing bonus on top of a $80,000 salary
Guess which one is more likely to be shot and killed at their job?
spoiler
It's not the one who has a gun
"Brave and heroic"
Is that why they show up in packs wearing masks to kidnap children?
I thought it was cuz they're ugly
Can't pay for school or healthcare, but lots of money for KKK 2.0!
Oh good more “heroes” to “save us” from a bunch of poor people busting their asses to do jobs the rest of us cannot afford to do.
I’m going to keep calling them gestapo. There’s nothing patriotic about them.
The dredge of society is about to come out. Be safe everybody
It’s tempting to join and be sand in the gears, but the job is so immoral that I’d have to be a big ass rock in the gears. Sand isn’t immediately enough.
Can I join for the bonus and leave immediately?
No, as Dave Anthony says, we need to start getting moles in the system.
Sweety I just got uppies on my e dose, and at best it'll be winter until I won't be able to really boymode anymore, so I don't think that's gonna work out.
Actually kinda spooked by the idea, though itll be worth it I think.
Operation South Park: Richard Gere.
I like your attitude.
If the US government would have paid for teachers what they pay for their American GeStaPo, you probably would not have that Nazi problem in the US.
Lol they end up wasting more money going after them then if they just left them alone
The point is they don't want brown people to exist.
join
accept bonus
...leave
Wrong. Join. Refuse to do anything but stall getting fired for as long as possible. You get more money. Government gets delayed from hiring a Nazi replacement for you. Bonus points for sabotage like tipping people off about planned raids.
Yeah that probably good way of having you disappear too. Sounds good to try sabotage from within, but unless we a legit government back resistance, then all your going to do is get yourself killed, disappeared, or will be put on the Numberg trials like the rest.
I at least hope we have a trail, and we hang these fuckers.
Nuremberg was a failure and a sham, nazis en masse were excused and given positions of power in the exact same positions they held as nazis. 2 million Germans directly contributed to the holocaust and nine people were executed at Nuremberg. I pray to fucking god that isnt how this ends.
It's too bad I have a sense of ethics, or I could get paid.
Take them down from the inside
Srsly
Get paid, then don't do your job. Best of both worlds.
yea, sign up and then stand in the way subtly for as long as you can
Think of all the good that $50,000 could have done
There's always money for bombs and cops
You too can find yourself in prison once the current regime falls! Remember to think up an alabi for what you spent the 20's doing, otherwise you will be shamed for the rest of your life.
Ain’t no possibility of this going sideways is there? I’m slightly relieved that they’ll hire any goon with pulse and not have a well trained & disciplined army with an allegiance to an order. Just a bunch temu brand , god army believers with their wal mart issue tactical gear and that’s after a nap because that Waffle House meal is so good. Christian Nationalism needs a serious curb stomping. That is metaphor by the way. I’d never dirty my shoes with that foul faux Christian blood. Ewww.
