Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
FTFY... So 4+ yr contract in exchange for <$50k/yr and/or Base of Pref...with a contract rider that of +1yr even IF THEY CANNOT DELIVER BoP...which AF for enlisted assignments said was less than 50% chance of fill. Now, I know that's enlisted assignments, but it's still AFPC we're talking about. And, the functionals will hate having their hands-tied on PCS flexibility, but they might get manpower in exchange. ...and the biggest kicker...does the money stack!?!?!? Seems NO (didn't read section 334(c) of title 37, United States Code)

New monetary theory is based off of most trusted financial, therefore governmental, system...who wins the game of trust is anyone's guess...but my money would be the most open, accessible, and largest financial system/economy. Options, and not just typical trading options, are the true king. Flexibility and portability can't be underestimated.- Air Force is hiring for civilian T-6 IPs

Agree with several attributable facts you present, however... Who's says the poor can't invest? What's stopping them? If you don't understand Cramer's Rule 1: "Bulls Make Money, Bears Make Money and Pigs Get Slaughtered"...then perhaps its their education/understanding that is the problem. Side note, last I saw Robin Hood made some small investors thousands, and yes others lost -- but they were investing!- The Next President is...
This convo belongs in the Investment showdow thread! Big investment idea(s): complex, compound investing using OPM (other people $) principle and across multiple markets...we all know info is power/money ...kind of like TSP offering new funds after federal retirements changed to more TSP-matching schemas and less defined-retirement structures (i.e. BRS vs top 3 and older systems)...aka shifting the risk, creating new monetary fluidity using OPM...people with more info should see better returns, the average person is likely worse off. However, those informed people who play market bear and bull runs have new great options which could be quite lucrative. Classic TSP funds don't allow much room for bear market plays, save a TSP loan well timed and, with discipline, invested in growth (or short plays) elsewhere- Lighten Up Francis!

The one thing my quoted article does do truthfully is infer that global warming and cooling is far greater affected by cosmic/solar powers, plate tectonics, volcanic activity, and ocean currents...amoung other things other than human activity. There are far greater powers at play than humans.- The Next President is...
Amen.- The Next President is...
There is WAY more going on, on Earth than your/my/our CO2 contributions....where are we in any of these other factors???? FFS...Earth wobble affects more greatly temps than CO2, or sea currents. The disconnect is people who believe a single thing IS the cause, when the whole system is more complex and don't consider the other factors. You know, like, pick and choose what suits your narrative instead of the science! Ha, trust the science (cough, hack, the science we tell you to beleive)!

That AF program offers double base pay for assignments to hard to fill locations. We'll see if the money-talks enough to Del Rio por el Mar (Del Rio by the Sea). And how that plays out is anyone's guess...anyone have any metrics of quantity eligible in the first place? Or is this even feasible to fill the gap? - Money and Finance
