So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.
That's $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
Thousands of lives lost.
People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Poem: Clean Sweep
a poem about how the tools of rhythm doubled in pice, while the rhythm of work halved in satisfaction
New poem called “Clean Sweep” -
It’s $80 to buy a set
of wire brushes.
Not so long ago
it was $40.
A salary would take
five times longer to double —
work satisfaction can halve
in a swish.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustn’t let this war do so.
