    Wow, government contractors get paid by the government which translates to your tax dollars. That money bought things. How the money made from businesses gets distributed and what the government spends money on are totally different discussions. What a stupid fucking meme.

            It very obviously is considering no part of the meme specified any type of good or service and the one thing it decided to single out is SpaceX funding which is literally NASA. Is your hot take on this meme that we should defund NASA and you are opposed to the Artemis program? Or do you just not like Musk or are diverting to the defense spending which was clearly not the focus of the meme?

              I don’t care about the last half the meme, being that that’s just an appeal to pathos against Musk. I care about the first $336 mentioned and that it’s largely for military spending that I do not want.
