@RogerGalligan Hamas has committed multiple acts of war against Israel for decades. They started a war, and are losing.
They continue firing rockets even during "ceasefires".
They use civilians as human shields.
This would all end tomorrow if Hamas surrendered.

@Dr_Mauser @ShamashAran Yep, I misspoke. Following. And RUTHLESS with the Block or Mute buttons.

Raising the minimum wage ensures MORE people make ZERO. It eliminates jobs.
Cashiers are replaced with self-service. Four servers are replaced with two servers and an expediter.
Fresh food replaced with pre-prepared, half the cooks lose their jobs.
Some businesses just close, and EVERYONE loses their job.

@AlZeidenfeld The real minimum wage is zero. Some people make more, and others end up out of a job.
Keep raising the min wage, more people are unemployed, more people are homeless.
Or is that the plan? To make more people dependent on the government?

@mentze85196 July and August are rough, but as I get older, I can't take the Colorado winter cold anymore.
There's more livable days in FL than anywhere but California. And no income tax and lower cost of living is quite nice, as well.

@richsra @RealAirPower1 Bullshit. You can't miss fast enough to win.
It's very easy to miss, easier at high speeds, you can empty the magazine on Vulcan very, very quickly.

@SilentSt0rmX The issue is a large and fundamental one: Shame.
We used to enforce societal standards by shaming people. That kept people in line, and things didn't escalate to this point.
We decided that shame was wrong, and everything devolved from there.
The correction mechanism is gone.

@ant_trauma_cop @Nuked4Every1 Same here. But this is exactly what OC/CS were made for. Area denial/crowd effects.

@rsayre @CynicalPublius @infantrydort Because headquarters always loses sight of the purpose of the mission. Not just DOW/DOD, but EVERY headquarters of EVERY organization.
They get wrapped up in the administrative battles, the political correctness, the flavor of the month.
It needs a hard reboot.

@TrueGritNewsMan @FoxNews Understood. I appreciate and respect your reply.
Nowadays, so many accounts get silently bought and start spamming and engagement farming. Now I know that's not you.
I'll do my part and report your ad.

[Alan Colon @PilotAlan1]

@TrueGritNewsMan @FoxNews Dude, I respect you, but you're spamming every damn thread, every damn where. I'm about to mute you.

@conquertheno Potted Meat. unless we're talking long term, then the Corned Beef is more flexible and tolerable.

@politeracy @mbrown_co You should take my advice. Because I'm not using it.
