Pretending “public funds” don’t come primarily from private pockets is intellectually dishonest. Now maybe these things seem free to you because you’re a child, a student, or someone that for whatever reason isn’t contributing to the pool but they are not.

If 94% of people spend less than 1k/year and your family consisting of four (realistically two) people spends 4k WHAT DOES THAT MAKE THEM YOU SIMPLE FUCK?

It should mean something to everyone because it’s how you quantify the cost of doing anything else.
