I just asked an AI what the estimated profits were that the Fortune 1000 companies made in 2023. It's around 25 trillion. Annual budgets in 2023 for:
USAID: $71.9 billion
Medicare: $848.2 billion
Education: $268.4 billion
Together, that is about 4.75% of the Fortune 1000 profits.
Think about that!

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it.
ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures.
