Soon, Old Glory will have to be born in the land of the free and not merely flying over it.
Congress has passed a proposal to require the federal government to purchase only American flags that have been completely manufactured in the U.S. The U.S. imports millions of American flags from overseas, mostly from China, and the sponsors of the proposal said it’s time for American flags to originate in the country they represent.
Supporters of the proposal, led by Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine and Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio, said the change is more than just symbolic — they believe it will support American jobs and manufacturers while preserving the nation’s most recognized banner.
Since the dawn of time, wars have been waged. The US isnt the worlds police even as much as we pretend. We cant stop war.
We have the highest preventable death rate in the developed world. That’s diseases and deaths that were preventable with correct medical treatment or diet.
And we’re talking about fucking flags.
Homeless people, disabled people, drug additcs, massive gun crime, crazy motor accidents because no public transit.
Hundreds of thousands of people are dying on AMERICAN streets
edited from millions -> hundreds of thousands
MILLIONS! lol
Every year in the US:
Okay, it you add that up, its hundreds of thousands, not millions, I estimated too high.
But its nothing to laugh about.
Interesting you put the deadliest one 3rd. But that one involves policing the border, and you dont want that, do you?
We could also treat drug addiction as a medical problem and not a crime, and prohibit drug testing in exchange for social services.
That works real well for California, doesn’t it?
Absolutely, I love it here and wouldn’t want to live someplace that drug tests!
Um… yeah actually, it does.
But please, keep believing all the ridiculous conservative propaganda about California so the rest of us can continue to enjoy it.
