I'm low-key freaking out over this news... The number of times the Insurrection Act has been invoked since its intro is 30 
- that's like, a lot. And we're already dealing with so much unrest in the US, it feels like we can't catch a break. Did you know that the average annual military budget for the US is around $721 billion 
? It's crazy to think about how much money could be spent on addressing mental health issues or poverty instead of deploying troops.Let's look at some stats: according to the FBI, there were over 1 million arrests made in Minneapolis alone in 2022
. That's a lot of people who need help and support - not necessarily military intervention. The number of US veterans struggling with PTSD is around 20% 
- we're talking about 800k+ people.Can't we find other ways to resolve conflicts than resorting to force?
