I’m not a small government type, but god am I tired of taxpayer dollars going to big oil, animal ag, banks and arms dealers that are literally trying to speed run the end of humankind.

Perhaps it goes without saying, but I just didn’t want to come across as a an-cap or something by complaining about government spending when my issue isn’t that we’re spending taxpayer money, but what we’re spending it on.
