        Hope you’re a millionaire because there’s going to be tax cuts for the rich so the plebs can keep paying the same or more, it’s almost guaranteed.

              I wasn’t the one bitching about not paying the $3 though. If you wanna pay it, pay it. I don’t want to, so I’m glad Musk is taking care of it.

            What about that roughly $0.04 of your money so Trump could go to the Superbowl? I mean if we’re being nitpicky here…

            What would you pay 3 dollars for? 3-4 dollars a week got me lunch as a kid bcz we were so destitute and broke. Taking that away means kids go hungry. But, kids only matter when they’re unborn, am I right?

              No one is stopping you from starting your own charity to make up for it and you can also donate plenty of your own money to it.

                It never ceases to amaze me the callouses of some people, their unwillingness to help anybody else if it doesn’t somehow benefit them directly. It’s such a short minded way of viewing the world. You must be a very lonely person.

        You’re giving it away straight to their pockets, because the next step is to funnel all that money to their personal projects

            Yeah, you saved $3 on taxes. Great. Dismantled a whole department.

              All of us saved $3. It adds up. I am fine with government departments getting dismantled.

            You’re still going to have to pay taxes, in fact your taxes are probably going up next year.

            The government cutting its budget doesn’t automatically mean tax savings.

                Unless you’re already in the top 5%, your taxes are going up.

        They’ll give it to Musk instead. If past behaviour is any indication, Republicans will actually raise the taxes for anyone except the top 5 percentile.

    Lol don’t be fooled this costs way more than any “savings”. And it’s factually illegal.

      And it’s factually illegal.

      Then no reason to be upset. It’ll just get overturned then, right?

      I hear the government is funneling billions to some sort of satellite internet thing that wouldn’t be economically viable without those subsidies. Maybe they should look into that waste.
