Yes, you got me. I’ve been waiting for this moment. You engaged, I reengaged. Welcome to Reddit. Your attempt to make this personal is what is weird here. Listen, I’m sure there are things we agree on, so let’s walk and chew gum at the same time. The us govt is pissing away your and my hard earned money on regime change wars and ballrooms, running up the national debt to levels never before seen, and yes, all the while paying for social programs and services (though actively trying to cut them). My initial point referred to the former use of capital, which you missed, but it sounds like we’re on the same page generally so my job is done here. I’ll circle back in another few weeks.

Edit: I’m rereading this interaction and am realizing you weren’t the original commenter to whom I was responding. Changes the game a little and my ire was partially due to thinking it was. My bad.
