      In the US, what little gets spent on social services has to first be tortuously contrived into any possible way to go to police spending before what little remains goes to anything else. By 2045, the post office is probably going to be replaced by the police driving around in MRAPs firing your mail out of a cannon

      Because we do not exist in a functional country, in fact we exist in a country that every day asks itself "what is the WRONG way of doing things" and then questions why their fucking house is now on fire.

      Just echoing what others have said, social services (which were never great in the US) are getting slashed from local budgets. But no matter how small or in how much financial distress a locality might be in, the budgets for the pigs are never cut.
