that's one reason. The other reason is that the healthcare industry is for profit, and profits are good. If we don't profit off healthcare, the economy will suffer! what a stronk economy.
Oh no, it's MUCH worse than that; we're killing some of the poorest people on the planet while they're going out on a limb to stop a genocide we're backing.
It's so... like there aren't adjectives for this. Obama, Trump, Biden, and Harris have spent a decade attempting to exterminate Yemenis, they've killed hundreds of thousands and horribly injured millions, and the Yemenis, far from being cowed, defeated the US Navy in order to stop a genocide. And all we can conceive of is sending more bombs, killing and maiming more people. It's incomprehensible. "Evil" isn't sufficient.
Spending 10s of billions trying to break a blockade that probably has cost less than 10 million. Ansar Allah and Iran are ~1000x more cost effective and still winning.
Many Burgerlanders prefer the military industrial complex and its tacticool theater on corpo news over the scarier thought of social safety nets for those who don't "deserve" them.
The B-2 is one of the last remaining "carpet bomb" style bombers left in the US arsenal. If you imagine bombing in your head as just a plane dropping a massive torrent of bombs over a large area, that's the B-2. The US still has the B-52 of course, but it's ancient in comparison, so that leaves this. One of them can drop 80 500kg bombs on a civilian population in a single pass
They're using it not for the stealth value, but the pure terror value of carpet bombing civilians. It being stealthy is just ensuring they can't be reprised against
Ansar-Allah has killed like a dozen MQ-9 predator drone bomber planes in the last year. The fash are likely sending B-2 Spirits partially to curb losses of MQ-9s.
Aww I enjoyed the movie. Yes it was telegraphing its morals so hard it came off like a kid movie at times and some of the internal logic is incredibly silly, but they got a bunch of dumb American meat heads to watch a movie where America was unequivocally the bad guy and they showed what these horrifying conflicts look like from the perspective of regular people just trying to survive
