Seriously, what’s the point of government if not to HELP US.

We would get surprisingly far if we got to a place where the government didn't actively hinder us.

Off the top of my head:

  • removing school lunch programs
  • removing women's reproductive rights
  • dragging feet on legalizing marijuana
  • gerrymandering certain states/districts to keep one party in power
  • politicians being bought by the highest corporate bidder

Those are all pretty big ways in which the government hinders the population at large.
