    The really funny thing is that these are almost entirely domestic sectors.

    Like, seriously, investing in healthcare, infrastructure, education…these should be no-brainers. Every single dollar invested into these gets spent multiple times within American borders, through American businesses and American laborers, and has real tangible returns like “a well educated workforce (and education==higher income==higher income taxes; and also more spend on sales taxes, real estate taxes, interest, etc)” and “healthy living people” and “transporting goods and services for sale”.

      But you’re talking about good things. Good things means better society. Better society means more power to people which means our lords the billionaires class won’t have as much control over people to syphon more profit out of them. If you have not heard of the channel “second though”, I’d highly recommend you watch some of his videos. He’s not perfect, but he does have some good topics. One of them is this about why a lot of people are poor.
