OK re: LRT -- wtf is up with the sniping about "big govt" w/r/t the Dept of Veterans Affairs? Like, stop. No.
-
Why do you think there are so many veterans? Bc these are people who fulfilled the supposed one legitimate function of gov't...
... according to right-leaning libertarians, anyways. So when you're like "lol govt inefficiency" are you saying Dept of VA shouldn't exist?
-
-
So a govt should compel its citizens to fight in wars, then not provide any benefits afterwards?
-
Are you going to start applying the "Govt is terrible at things" logic to, like, the govt waging war?
-
And TBF, there are plenty of libertarians who are anti-war. But for them it's an anti-interventionist point, not a govt efficiency point.
-
But then as soon as the business of war involves getting people healthcare as opposed to killing them: handwringing about govt efficiency.
-
Dept of VA is terrible and infuriating: now what? Double down on it. It doesn't need to be slimmer, it needs to be *better.*

@sarahjeong i'd hope that includes, "the army shouldn't exist" in that case, or at least, "we need to ensure there's no need for an army." -
@jujueyeball that would be fine and dandy but that's doesn't seem to be a persistent talking point -
@sarahjeong anti-war is a good enough start. PS tornadoes here it is v exciting -
Are there really tornadoes, I was just assuming all of ChicagoTwitter was in on a big inside joke or something
@jujueyeball -
@sarahjeong It's a real thing, Sarah.
