Greased the gears of global chaos by sliding enough tactical toys into the hands of warlords to make a dictators dream wet. But traded the mags for diaper bags.
American Preacher uses common sense to explain how far off track America has become
“If you can get arrested for hunting and fishing without a license, but you can enter this country and remain in this country illegally, you got a country run by idiots
If you have to get your parents' permission to go on a field trip and get an aspirin at school, but you don't have to get their permission to get an abortion, you got a country run by idiots
If you must show identification to board an airplane and cash a check and check out a library book, But you don't have to show identification to vote in our elections. You got a nation run by a bunch of idiots
If the government wants to prevent and they want to take our guns away and turn around and send F-16 fighter jets to our enemy countries, take our guns away and give ammunition to our enemy countries, you have a country run by idiots.
— If your government believes the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars in debt is to spend more trillions of dollars in debt, you got a country run by idiots.”
@AngryCops Words have meanings!
Congress should have designated it as “VA Workers’ Compensation” rather than “VA Disability,” as it essentially functions as such.
@WallStreetApes VA disability is named the wrong thing. It should be named something like VA workers comp.
It is essentially the same as if someone sued their employer for being hurt on the job, then the employer settles out of court. Then you get monthly payments instead of a lump sum.
@TexasRepublic71@grok Just before I left the Marines in 22, there was one in my unit. As an officer it freaked me the hell out that one day I might let a “hey dude” or “what’s up man” slip and then BOOM I’m gone. It’s hard to think about war fighting when you have to second guess saying hello.
@Atari_78@Cryptoboyy_Aji I completely agree! It has never been easier in history for people to learn things, yet most choose to not to. It’s easier to whine and blame others than to actually learn. However, for some reason, older people tend to not share financial knowledge with those younger than them.
@stats_feed Debt dies with a person. Banks can sue the the estate (what is left of the dead person’s property) and generally win. But that’s about it. Some shady debtors ask the children to pay, but there is no requirement, it’s just a trick.
@gotrice2024 It’s not about fuel mileage, it all comes down to the compression ratio in your engine. Most turbo/supercharged & German cars require 93 to detonate at the proper time. All other cars actually run better on 87.
Mid-grade is actually a scam, as no manufacturer recommends it.
Life is amazing:
-gyms exist
-Coke Zero exists
-hot girls outnumber even moderately put-together dudes 2000 to 1
-you and your wife can drink 4 bottles of wine then smash all night without a condom
-you and your friends can hit the gym then smoke a joint at a John Mayer concert
-every food item in the world has been hunted and gathered for you (grocery stores)
-you could be working 16 hour days in a coal mine in a third world country
-you’re spinning on a sphere in an infinite universe and the fact you’re alive is a 1 in 500 trillion miracle
You’re so lucky it’s absurd and you have nothing to lose :)
@StupidSnek@OrevaZSN I agree in part. Blue collar are willing to do physical labor (while most aren’t) which is a desirable trait.
Experience is an issue, but the person chose that field, and many aren’t willing to relocate for work. They should be held at least somewhat responsible for their choices
@StupidSnek@OrevaZSN That wasn’t congress’s intentions. They’re the ones that actually write the law. FDR wanted a higher minimum wage. It wasn’t created to meet his standard, but the minimum standard. If you read the legislative history on the issue, it will say exactly this.
@tokyo_111 Why do so many individuals perceive vacations as a fundamental human right? Vacations are essentially a luxury, akin to a designer handbag. For most of human history, only the affluent could afford to put life on hold and partake in what might be considered a vacation.
@ThrillaRilla369 They aren’t hoarding all of their money. If they were, they would not keep getting richer. They are investing it in a plethora of businesses that create jobs and move society forward. Your issue isn’t that they have too much money, it’s that they have too much power & control.
@OrevaZSN Anyone could actually become a billionaire, however there is about as much luck in accomplishing that as there is in winning the lottery. However, anyone can become a multimillionaire through hard work and a little bit of risk.
@dylthorn That’s an interesting take on it. However, that house’s value will likely at least double in value in 30 years. Plus, there is the option to take out a second mortgage and invest that once you have built some equity.
