No, they don’t. The US military spending far outpaces any other country. The US spends more than the next 10 countries combined! You don’t “need” that much spending, but your GDP is happy for that extra trillion every year that some day will trickle down for sure wink wink.

In summary, your rhetoric is pure propaganda of conservative talking points, unfortunately.

Ananás & Abacaxi refer to different types of pineapple. In Portugal we use both. In Brasil, Abacaxi is used because it’s the type they have and with time it came to mean all kinds of Ananás.

I’ve always liked tea and coffee, since I’ve first tried it as a kid. It was not an acquired taste for me at all. Without sugar or milk or anything else. I don’t understand the opposite, why do people fill stuff with sugar.

I’m truly amazed that this was ever a thing. The US is a case study of destroying value while raising GDP.
