“I don’t believe we shall ever have a good money again before we take the thing out of the hands of government, that is, we can’t take it violently out of the hands of government, all we can do is by some sly roundabout way introduce something they can’t stop” - F.A. Hayek
Gas could be $8/gallon and we could go to war for 3 years I’m still voting against the infinity immigrants party who want to turn America into Hondurastan.
There is an odd number of vets defending blatant fraud in the VA and that makes me think they also are committing blatant fraud.
Why would you want people taking money that could go to people who need it even more?
@DOGE_DOW Get sleep apnea and anything related to being fat off the list of covered problems. You shouldn’t be able to double dip retirement and disability. You shouldn’t be able to get disability and work a full time job
Just because you can collect VA benefits doesn’t mean you should.
The visceral reaction some will have to this statement underscores why the VA system is so broken.
Finding a way to get the VA to sign your paperwork doesn’t make your benefits ethical or moral if you know you shouldn’t have them (or know you don’t need them).
Fraud is both a legal and ethical question.
The system is there for those who need it, not those who want it.
While normies slog through years of BS to get compensation for real issues, the gray market “consultants” get bogus ratings for thousands of others.
Sure, it may not flag on an audit for illegality, but it’s still unethical and immoral. (And also still fraud).
The military is at it best when troops act with the highest integrity in all things, it’s very sad to see we’ve been debased to mere legalese as we decide who will receive our finite resources for disabled veterans.
To put it more bluntly, you should be embarrassed to show your face in public if you did two years in the Navy reserve and are collecting disability for “anxiety.” I don’t care if the VA said yes, if that’s the totality of your chart, what you’re doing is unethical and immoral.
I guarantee you there will be many who cannot even comprehend the concepts I’ve outlined here. To them the VA is just an infinite free money machine and they’re going to take as much as possible even if they know deep down they don’t really rate it or they don’t really need it.
Many haven’t even considered the ethical and moral component of their decision on whether or not to pursue these benefits.
For the record I am entitled to VA disability benefits but have never pursued a VA disability rating…mainly for the reasons I’ve outline above.
@canutox01@anyafolders And a plot point that Alia isn’t close to paul when it comes to prescience so her statement was pretty crazy. Hopefully they aren’t changing the material too much
I can solve homelessness
Give me a van, I’ll drive around until I find a homeless crackhead, jump out and then throw a comically large net over them.
“THERE IS NO ESCAPE” I yell as I drag them into the van
I put them in a de-crackification camp (live-streamed 24/7 for twitch donations to subsidize costs) and get them off crack.
They’ll be forced to do basic things like make their bed and eat a salad with no crack under the threat of a beating stick.
When they are good enough I’d put them in work camps breaking rocks or something because work will set you free. They’ll work for 3 years.
Then they’re competent functional people, I’ll give them a basic can’t fuck it up job in the normal world and housing for the first few months.
If they do crack again then they’ll be tortured on livestream for twitch donations. From word of mouth, the crackhead homeless will know and fear this outcome, thus avoiding doing crack again.
If you report a crackheads location and it leads to an arrest, you get $500. If you capture him yourself, you get $750
Property tax is literally the only tax that makes intuitive sense.
A local tax based on the property you choose to live on that goes toward things such as roads, police, fire departments, etc. that are amenities directly connected to that particular property.
Meanwhile, the federal government just sends your federal income tax dollars to fund Israel and gay pride parties at the Department of Labor.
Of all the taxes, property tax is the least retarded and I’m tired of hearing boomers complain about it.
