All of these things are literally choices. We have the means as a society to solve most of our issues. We’ve simply decided that if it costs too much it’s not worth it. Meanwhile the Pentagon just failed five audits and can’t account for 60% of its budget. Citizens should be protesting in the streets over that alone, given how much we pay into with minimum accountability. But such is the numbness of the masses and therefore preventable tragedies will continue to happen.
