In a country that miraculously rediscovers an endless treasure trove of funds w/n the banana stand for Israel, Ukraine, and wherever the latest foreign adventure is unilaterally deemed warranted; how/when was it normalized to expect the American citizenry to donate our way out of disasters w/n our own boarders?
When did it become normalized for a viewer of an American football game, a presentation that is shamelessly sponsored by intuit TurboTax, to continuously encourage to donate to the LA fires?
To be clear, this is not a critique on the act of raising resources for your fellow citizen; charity is clearly a commendable cause. However, is it lost on the average viewer that corporate media is not so subtlety asking you to pick up the slack for the broken institutions that taxpayers pay into, while simultaneously reminding you every commercial break of this years round of tax obligations?
