In fairness, some of those people were told they’d be fine not getting it under some of the standard exceptions to vaccines. A few over medical concerns, etc… then that just ended up getting steamrolled. Not to say a bunch weren’t just displaying lawful orders, but some weren’t.
The importer, not the exporter pays tariffs. Aka Canada pays nothing, things made in Canada have an extra tax attached to them when they cross the boarder into the us, paid by Walmart or whomever ordered the goods
Lol, are you high? Republicans are the ones replicating blood lible but directed against immigrants. They are really he ones calling for and end to transgender ideology (Magnus Hearschfeld institute, look it up) like yeah Dems are little bitches for two stepping when Israel demands, but to say they are following Hitler is stupid when the Repubs are doing it step for step, and the Dems at least sometimes say no.

Mostly agree but the Confederate states were more heavily invested in cash crops making slavery a purely economic issue not a good supply issue
Fun fact, when you join you waive your right to sue the military. Might be able to sue the VA or parts of the government though.
Depending on your general philosophy, and how you value various issues, anything could be a selling point to someone. It’s hardly a lost plot, a lot of people value the great equalizer. “God made man, Samuel Colt made man equal” -dunno who said it
They do, it’s not cheap, like $50
I’m very much onboard with this. Idk if I’d say it’s the libraries job though, I think it should be at the city level for community instances.

Yes rates are used most of the time in forms of address. However you do have a rank, for example E-5 or Petty Officer Second Class. However when addressing enlisted you’d usually say something like CTM2, IT2 etc… Until you hit chief then you are just called Chief, or senior if you are a Senior Chief, Master Chief doesn’t get abbreviated to Master for obvious reasons, and MCPON is usually referred to as “mic pon” phonetically for Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy.
I mean technically the federal reserve is a ponzi scheme they charge interest on money printed requiring more money to be paid back than they printed. Ergo there isn’t enough print money in existence to pay them back.
So, veteran here. I’ve tried to talk people out of joining the military or at least trying to avoid jobs with high probability of seeing combat. Usually the result is they just start prying about what combat is like and make statements about how much they want to experience it.
Another tack I haven’t tried but it might be more effective, is to describe how miserable it is to have the stench of a burn pit wafting over you, always wondering if the distant gunfire will move in your direction, being stuck manning a 24/7 watch where if even one person who can do that job dies or is otherwise incapacitated you will be stuck doing 12hr shifts instead of 8. Then you get back home and have to fight tooth and nail for benefits from the country that fucked your life up in the first place.
War is hell, coming home is hell, forcing that on someone can only be justified if they are literally at home fighting off an invading force.

Have you considered switching to Matrix or Signal over Discord?
I agree, only sensible way to do it
The only rationale I’ve seen consistently is that it’s expensive to care for trans people.
I was in and diagnosed with gender dysphoria within about a week of Trump’s initial tweet saying he was banning trans people. For about 2 months there it was a bit up in the air whether or not I’d get discharged or not. Ultimately was grandfathered in.
It’s not an issue of hormones being available in the field, you can be deployed with a years supply no problem. That said the way the policy worked is you can’t start HRT while deployed. (Presumably because of the increased burden of regular blood draws earlier on) If you were seeking to transition you needed the approval of your commanding officer, and that could be denied only if you were deployable and hadn’t deployed yet.
There was also the option in there for your CO to basically grant you a year to go to college or something while transitioning to generally make integration smoother, so you wouldn’t be stuck dealing with second puberty and regular military service at the same time. Though I have no idea if anyone actually got that. I know at least on person who didn’t, or didn’t take it anyway.
There’s a bunch more nuance, rules, and tricky ways people got fucked over by their commands myself included. But at the end of the day, it really caused basically no problems overall while it was an option. And frankly if you can drag a CPAP machine on deployment trans people are less of a logistical nightmare and shouldn’t make the top 10 of medical issues that actually might warrant discharge.
