We will NEVER achieve MLK's dream in this country because far too many people on both sides (your Al Sharptons and David Dukes, et al) make a good living stirring up racial animus. And far too many listen to those fools.

Just asked my 9 year old what he would do if he sold a toy for $10 and the government decided to start taking an extra $100 a month from him in taxes? He replied, “I’d sell my toy for $15.” This was with no leading questions/information or previous discussion of this article. So yeah, a 9 year old understands basic economics better than the President’s press secretary (or worse, the entire administration...if her statement truly represents the administration’s position).

The border situation is a literal shit show and this administration has done absolutely nothing other than tacitly, if not openly, encourage the rush to the Rio Grande. https://www.aei.org/op-eds/a-man-made-disaster-at-the-border/ It’s obvious to anyone with half a brain that this is not even incompetence, but a deliberate long game strategy of obtaining a super majority of voters for one political party.

Currently deployed and we spent maybe ten minutes tops talking about this to check the box. Anybody forcing people to spend a whole day on this should be fired for anti-extremism extremism.

This response is a meme within economics and he would lose more money in doing so than if he kept the price roughly the same for consumers due the highly elastic demand of unnecessary consumer products like toys. Sounds like he needs to study a bit more "basic economics" but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt since he's 9 😉. Good reading for you guys though. https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ref/econ101e.html Don't expect Psaki to know what she's talking about with regard to economics, but even if she did I doubt she would answer that question with a nuanced discussion on the implications of demand elasticity, money velocity, tax revenue optimization, etc., with respect to the new policy. To think those writing policy within the administration would lack a basic understanding of economics is disingenuous.

This day and age a liberal president is more likely to engage us in conflict that a conservative one. How the tables have turned.

Not if we grow a brain and realize if we don't give a fuck about what libtard pussies think and just kill the enemy Starship Troopers (1997) Disable His Hand - YouTube #drunk and honest

I did a lot of research after having had COVID and decided to get the vaccine because you end up with a better and broader spectrum of coverage against mutations. Also - a new study provides context to first dose reactions.

Yep, that is the assumption. Just like when the creepy white dude shoots up asian massage parlors, it’s automatically “WHITE SUPREMACY!!!!” Turn out this dude actually had some weird sexual/religious stuff going on in his effed up/disgusting brain. Meanwhile, actual targeted assaults on Asians (happened in NY and CA, surprise surprise) that were committed nearly 100% by black Americans, have barely been mentioned on the news.

Yeah, hypersonic did what will be used to defeat A2AD. As long as we know where the epicenters are. cyber and shutting g down everything is the absolute KEY. Yet we knowingly sit here and let China infect the world with the Kung flu and did nothing about it. YET. CHINA can’t do anything to us except defend.

So as I sit here after being told (again) our OG will only be released a SINGLE DIGIT number of doses this week (again) in my OCONUS assignment due to lack of availability, it’s a little bit infuriating to hear about all of the vaccines we are shipping off to other countries. I am absolutely a fan of sharing the wealth, but when we have mission requirements driving ROM, copious testing, and the resultant impacts to users associated with both, seems like we’re missing the bubble with regard to distribution strategy. @congressman

I refer the poster to the preceding lines in the post excerpted as examples of "competence."

So let's review this past week for this Administration: 13,000 kids in "not cages." Russia recalls its ambassador; Putin challenges Biden to a debate which is declined. China embarrasses the SecState in the first meeting with this Administration. And Biden busts his ass not once, not twice, but three times climbing AF1 stairs. On the same climb. Good think it wasn't a ramp like Trump's or there'd be calls for a health evaluation... But he has kept off Twitter so there's that win.

Are we automatically assuming this hypothetical racist is white? When presented with the hypothetical scenario I bet the other assumption immediately made is that the racist is a male.

What was the facilitator’s reaction to your brazen belief that individuals are allowed to have their own beliefs and that if those beliefs do not affect the mission or unit that it is no one’s business?

I’m anxiously awaiting the headline that says “SECDEF orders Pentagon to focus on winning wars”. Isn’t the alphabet people issue solved already? This actually brings up a question for the masses. In our extremism training the other day I was asked what I would do if I knew a member of the squadron was a racist. Not a klan member or something overt, but just prejudiced. I said if he didn’t act on it but was good at his job, I wouldn’t care. I just wouldn’t be the guys friend. When asked why I felt that way, I said if his actions didn’t affect anyone else beyond feelings and he was good at his job of defending the country by the selective application of violence, that’s my priority. Am I a bad person?

They want to manipulate the outcome in pursuit of "equity," but doing so with differential scoring criteria is to highlight the very differences they claim don't exist. The demonization of test scores in academia is evidence of this. Affirmative action in University admissions has been around forever, and that's just a form of differential scoring. Not good enough. So now we get rid of grades, leaving group identity rather than performance as the metric for measuring worth. Ugly stuff. As soon as you realize that the whole philosophy is corrupt, and the leaders of the movement know it, understanding the policy gets a lot easier. There's a reason the thought-leaders on the left have all but completely stopped engaging in debates with their counterparts on the right. They're lying, and you don't promote a lie by giving your opposition a platform to call you out on it.

That person deserves to wear blues everyday until they leave the AF.

Does anybody else feel like, at least in the AF, this is a solution in search of a problem?

Our "extremism stand-down day" just got scheduled. So it's happening 1 Apr, 0900-1600. 7 goddamn hours. What a ing timejack. Yet another case of one person shits and everyone has to wear a diaper. Why doesn't someone make some of our elected officials sit through this crap? They arguably need it more than we do. Sorry, had to vent.

I haven't read that much MAGA/Q fan fiction since before the inauguration. Thanks for the chuckle. Is it hard to find an audience for this trash now that Parler is off the app stores?

They aren’t the same. The BLM and antifa actions were way way way worse.
