@mattyglesias It’s 100% under reporting. When reporting to the police means an employee wasting 30 minutes and nothing is done it just adds more expense to the theft for no return.
@CoriBush You also once lived in my parents home in Hazelwood MO and stopped paying rent for almost 2 years. It was a conservative Christian army service men that helped you for quite some time. Do you ever talk about that or have you ever thanked my Dad for that charitable support?
@MakkakeShakkake @hausfath@wang_seaver It’s slower mostly because of artificial impediments we put in place. But on the other side nuclear reactors last 2-3x longer in service than wind or solar does.
Proliferation really isn’t an issue.
Even in Ukraine it’s not actually been a problem.
@juliefornc I’m always amused how out of touch teachers and others are from the real world that they think only teachers have out of pocket expenses. I guarantee the mechanics fixing the school bus pay way more out of pocket than teachers.
@pingu_pinguping@DGisSERIOUS No, they had not been stopped. Stopped = unconditional surrender. Until the bombs Japan never accepted that as a possibility and was only trying to negotiate a conditional surrender that let them keep their government, military and occupied territories like Korea.
@newusernewname1@pingu_pinguping@DGisSERIOUS Yep. Either just plain ignorant, or willfully ignorant just so they can push any revisionist version that makes the US the evil one.
@RoseTsunami@xANoellex @lam_notlamb @SuperHumanEpoch@anthonyocampo You are off into your own imaginary fantasy land now to try and use delusions to justify your own biases.
Show me one example of an organized ring of sex traffickers in the US military that was as you described- a ring, not a few, and done with knowledge and permission.
@WRH_Mike_Rivero@AGHamilton29 Japan wasn’t trying to surrender. They knew that only unconditional surrender, followed by total disarmament and occupation was what the Allies would accept. Japan was trying to find a way to keep their government and what was left of their Army.
@pingu_pinguping@DGisSERIOUS So because Imperial Japans genocide and atrocities were aimed at brown skinned people they shouldn’t have been stopped as soon as possible?
@RoseTsunami@xANoellex @lam_notlamb @SuperHumanEpoch@anthonyocampo Your analogy is either incredibly dishonest or just ignorant.
Sexual slavery are trafficking was done by policy and encouraged by the IJA.
When the US Military has uncovered sexual trafficking it’s not been done by policy, and gets punished by the military.
@RoseTsunami@xANoellex @lam_notlamb @SuperHumanEpoch@anthonyocampo If the US set out to invade and occupy every nation around it, enslaved millions of their residents, ruthlessly murdered or worked to death POWs, and instigated a sneak attack against another nation then, yes, it would be justified.
Since none of that happened in WWII, no…
@HattieMags The only place in my town (in rural Appalachia) that still pays minimum wage is the sheltered workshop that “employs” people with disabilities and is federally subsidized to essentially be a day care pretended to gainfully employ them.
@lam_notlamb @SuperHumanEpoch@anthonyocampo Yep, exactly.
Would you have been cool with nuking Berlin in 1943 to stop Nazi Germany if we had the bomb? Japan was just as bad, there just isn’t the same attention paid to it because their victims were not European.
@PeteKaliner the danger of using this money to set up an endowment that is self sustaining instead of with yearly appropriations is that the legislature, therefore taxpayers, lose all control. How often have we seen nonprofits have their boards taken over by those with an agenda, usually leftists, and hijack it for their own causes.
See the Z Smith Reynolds Foundation as an example.
