    It’s roughly enough money to just build 100k homes. Why can’t we just do that instead?

    😔 Because cruelty is the point.

      I think for some of the scumbags in control the cruelty has gone far beyond a side effect of their hatred, and into a focus of how they validate themselves and one-up their friends. They need so badly to feel superior that they will do horrible things just to show that they can. That would help explain how blatant and comical things have been.

      They need to show that they are at the pinnacle of the group the law protects but does not bind.
