I understand that RFIDs are far safer/more practical and that the big blind ante means we donโt need huge stacks any more but the Jack Links Beef Jerky Holecams + towers upon towers were the fucking DAYS man.

Everything I own, I pay for by giving up part of my life, literally. Say I earn about $50 an hour. To buy a meal for me and my wife at a mid-range place, I must work for an hour to get that money. To buy a new computer costs about $1200, and that would take me about 24 hours of work - three days of toil. It's literally life for goods.
If you break into my house, vandalize a few thousand dollars worth of goods, and steal a few thousand more, you have literally stolen a sizable chunk of my existence. All the time I spent earning those was now completely wasted.
Therefore, a thief is stealing your life too, and arguably is worthy of death. Certainly a thief who breaks into your house must be treated as a dangerous enemy. He might be armed. He'll react violently if caught. I can't take the chance that he'll peaceably leave, and leave my goods intact. Even the broken window he entered by will cost me a day's wages.
I am not saying I would always shoot to kill, but I certainly wouldn't show any mercy on such an intruder. He didn't value MY life or MY safety, so why should I value his?
With all the talk of the massive fraud in government spending, here's a fun story in micro that has billion(s) dollar impact in macro.
I need a few storage bins for work to hold varying pieces of equipment. Since I'm a Navy employee, I need to use our Navy purchasing system and stick to "authorized sources."
The bin on the left is from GSA advantage, one of my few "authorized sources". It measures 23" x 15" x 11" and would be sufficient. It would take about 1 week of internal paperwork and approvals and once ordered would arrive in 9 days. This bin is priced at $42.79.
The bin on the right is available at Home Depot. It measures 26" x 17" x 12" and is also sufficient. This bin is priced at $9.48 ($8.54 with my military discount).
I can go the "authorized" route and purchase 3 of them with taxpayer money for $128.37 and get them in 2 weeks (maybe). OR, I can drive to Home Depot 6 miles away and buy 3 bins with my own money for $25.62 and have them today. Which do you think I did? Hint: I have the bins today.
Now imagine this multiplied by millions of individual purchase transactions and contracts across the Department of War. The government pays FIVE times the commercial rate for virtually everything.
Three Mile Island and Chernobyl convinced the entire planet nuclear fission was catastrophically unsafe. Despite the fact Three Mile island's containment system worked exactly as designed, preventing a genuine catastrophe. And Chernobyl was a catastrophe because the Soviets were cutting corners and built their plants without proper containment. Thus, nuke accidents became the shark attacks of the energy discussion. And our best, cleanest, most abundant power source remains ignored.
We can agree that theres is a fair debate as to whether we ought to bomb these guys.
But you should be beaten senseless if you're trying to convince me that this is a boat full of innocent fishermen.
absolutely vital video. this should be shown every time someone claims "the solution to homelessness is to just give people homes"
this lady was given a home and she destroyed it. is the solution to just keep giving her a new home every time she fill the last one with trash?
