      Not only does that not have anything to do with the topic at hand, but I’m also much more worried about the very real hostile take over of a nation than some people’s fucking street lights.

        It’s very relevant to the topic at hand. The ruling class are laundering money using the war they started in Ukraine that they hoped would enable them to pillage Russia again like they did in the 90s.

        Ukraine is comprised of several nations, some of which have no interest being part of the fascist dictatorship that tried to ethnically cleanse them before they were saved by Russia.

        English citizens have a reasonable expectation to fucking street lights from their state while it pours money into its failed war.

      Damnit. I hate when my local city government’s finances are too fucked to pay the energy bill, but still have money for military weapons procurement.

      Wait a minute…local city governments are able to purchase air launched cruise missiles and anti-tank weapons!!! And they can export them to!!!

      Dude I think you might be onto something, that is pretty wild…makes you wonder what the dog catcher is really up to… probably moonlights with gig economy wetwork.
