Well, sorta. Different materials bounce different wavelengths of light that our eyes catch and send to the brain to piece together and interpret color from. There is a degree of responsibility for what we see on the object the light bounces off of in the form of what wavelengths they absorb or reflect.

It’s just like our beloved Jesus said. Fuck the poor, fuck the sick, worship the rich. Or something, I’m a Republican, so I never actually read that book. /s

The cost is so much greater than the points you make, too. It’s just common sense that a healthy society is a productive society. Students getting the care they need can get a better education. Workers that aren’t stressed about unaffordable healthcare are innately healthier and can contribute more to society. A rising tide lifts all ships, and pretending that the bulk of our nation’s ocean can sink is only going to keep everyone down.

It is truly baffling to me how desperate some people are to believe this. What in human history has shown any indication that what is happening now is for any benefit other than the billionaires?
