It was out at the Nellis airshow this last weekend.

It isn’t the jump pay that is costing, it is the associated tax on unit readiness to facilitate taking something like Brigade HHC full of non jumping MOS people to do their mandatory jumps. We don’t have a flying hour program funded to support a bunch of cooks and Hr clerks doing Hollywood jumps, though god knows I’ve burned useful blade hours supporting them. The crap the guys on jump status do for essentially drinking money and the misappropriation of unit training calendar time to facilitate is criminal. It is the Army of stuff like the Greywolf guys always coming down with a fully loaded Dornier full of “crew” every month to Zambo and providing the actual mission their with less seats than the C-12 for AMRs. We know why you’re here, and don’t pretend it’s to support for a critical mission. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can I post a funny here

I keep hearing this line - "the world took advantage of us" "we are getting hosed by the whole world in trade" Who, exactly is hosing us? Is it South Korea who imports our goods at near as makes no difference 0% effective tariff rate? Is it Australia with whom we have a significant trade surplus? I was reliably informed that if you have a trade deficit with someone that must mean they're hosing you. So are we hosing Australia? Must be somehow.. And if so why are we slapping additional tariffs on them? Dude just take a step back and call a spade a spade here. None of this makes any f-ing sense. It's a nice graph though. The rich indeed are getting richer at a faster rate than the people with less money. That's exactly how compound interest works. Even for regular folks, it takes approximately the same amount of time to accumulate your first $100k as it does to go from $100k to $1M. Isn't it crazy how math works?! That's also exactly what I would expect growth curves to look like when comparing the 0.1% to the rest of the population. Turns out if youre in the 0.1% you're probably pretty freaking good at allocating money and making more of it. To pin wealth inequality in the US on "globalization" and the "myth of free trade" is definitely a new one. But ultimately the real issue here is your implication that trump's deranged and incoherent tariff plan is going to somehow rectify this wealth problem. What evidence do you have for that? Because so far all I've seen are normie financial dummies panic selling, while the savvy billionaires short the market and use their connections and insider info to capitalize on the insane volatility. The tariffs are also effectively a wildly regressive tax. When you jack up the price of normal goods across the board it's going to hurt regular people far far more, because us normal folks need the same amount of food and toilet paper as billionaires do.

Greatest Star Trek villain in history (with all due respect to Ricardo Montalban’s Khan Noonien Singh, of course).

The boat comic is exactly the opposite of what’s happening in the U.S. leftist have been setting fire and killing anything that challenges their idiotic anti-human flourishing worldview. Nice try though.

Surely, you’re now limited to two posts a day of sharing anything from X. By all means, debate and enjoy the nonsense, but scale back on reposting random stuff from X.

Still up form the low...lost about 33% of yesterday's gain. Buying the dips...I had a lot of cash sitting on the sidelines.

Couldn’t find an NCAA brackets topic. If one exists, feel free to delete this. Who do you think wins it all in 2025? I’ve got the FL Gators taking it this year.

Taliban say reoccupation of Bagram is not happening (fun propaganda video included). OSINT accounts also disputing the claim using Google satellite imagery. Always possible secret discussions are ongoing, but lacking any secondary confirmation this remains a single source claim.

I won my bracket friends group with the Gators taking it all. Most everyone in my group had Duke going all the way. I knew Houston was rough and physical but even with their seeding, I didn’t think they’d make it past Elite 8. They were physical and aggressive and had me scared in the final.

Gotta justify the OA-1K purchase somehow. Also…Afg=world’s largest live fire range.
