Facts and statistics say the organization running the lottery is IMMENSELY less likely to run out of money than YOU. Take the annuity. Winning the lottery does not suddenly make one smart with money.
Remember everyone. View tariffs as kind of a federal sales tax. Sales tax typically affect lower classes more than upper classes. It will also compete with other sales taxes at other government levels. Those smaller governments rely on it more than the federal government.
Meaning, to grossly oversimplify, this will ultimately cost more for people with less wealth, and it will degrade your local governments ability to provide services due to less income.
To answer OP's question. They already have plans to pass more tax cuts for the rich (federally). That money has to come from elsewhere. This is one form of the elsewhere.
Meanwhile the game will break records and sell switch systems cause people are fucking morons.
I've said similar things about many switch games. Even Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom might be fun games, but they are legitimately crappie than they should be. The world's are very empty and often times look like PS2 quality textures and shapes. The frame rates are also appalling at times. Like no consideration for performance and art direction with so much Nintendo trash, and people still eat it up.
Your story is all too common, and I saw a lot of this growing up. I was there as a child overhearing the comments about people. Seeing and hearing my parents and church and school leaders talking shit behind backs, amd being judgy as hell towards anyone and everyone.
Yes, God forbid you seem like a burden or "different" in any way. Their "acceptance" of you will come with a lot of caveats.
I'm glad for your sake and your life you are aware and see it for what it is. You're better off.
The people. Family, their friends, the church people, the religious school people. Everyone. Toxic. And it took me far too long to figure out how wrong it all was and how so much judgement and hate and shame and guilt and manipulation was not normal.
None of my community raised an effective adult. But they sure tried to raise an indoctrinated subservient guilt-riddled sack of shit.
Fuck religion and fuck people who pressure it on others, especially children, and so many of them use it all as an excuse to cover the fact they are ultimately just shitty people.
Thanks to them I feel like 2 decades of my life were stolen from me and I had to relearn and grow up a lot in my 20s to get out of it.
Sure is interesting in religion how there's a neverending amount of pointing at YOUR need to change, but none of those pointing ever seem to change or improve as humans.
Perhaps it would help if you were to... say.... document cases of this. Perhaps a list and links to as many of these communities as you can point to. You know, to research and begin assessing.... the scale of the problem.... and maybe how to resolve it.
DC can't just pick a damn batman actor, or be consistent with their movie stories. They just keep rebooting. They keep shooting themselves in the foot.
These people don't get it. Change the story. "Concerned" citizen sees a black person and calls the cops. Cops come up and demand ID to ensure everything is okay.
It's the same kind of situation. Clearly not acceptable and has long history of racism and bigotry.
It's not okay with someone who happens to be short either.
Is the OP expected to hand over ID to validate after every damn concerned citizen?
This is also not getting into how the police often waste time on improper calls and don't spend time on more important things. They selectively choose what to spend time on, and that's often a problem.
I really want to believe the Assassin's Creed concept that our DNA holds memories from our ancestors.
