 I’d like to call bullshit. The graph shows change. Not absolute numbers. 
 Shows where all the jobs being created are coming from in the past year which is government.  Unproductive crap jobs just to pretend the economy is doing great into an election year.......  The rotten nature of government is eroding the greatness of America away. Sad.......

 Difficult take. I dont think its that hard to be top-3 by only considering Defense, Security, Law and Justice.

 land of the free 🫡 
 DOD #1 empower on the planet.

 An old patient today asked me something like: "Doc, why are there so many people at the hospital? Is ______ (insert EU country name) the sickest country in the world?"

Yes, dear patient, we are all becoming sicker and sicker. It is because we are fed by the same people who sell us the drugs. And it is because we have allowed government to lay in bed with these industries.

And things will only get worse unless you a) stop consuming seed oils and b) stop eating carbohydrates. 
 and "health care" being first D: 
 Ouroboros ♾️

 And healthcare being at the top is scary as hell.
