Barack Obama is facing a financial emergency on a grander scale. Yet his approach has been to engage in one of the biggest peacetime spending binges in American history.

A couple guys in another thread were going on about growing up under ~12 years of war~ and how that made this generation's kids super special and jaded


I read somewhere about a study of millennial, and how texting/email/whatever has affected them- essentially all the new forms of communication allows you to take your time and plan out a response, or just ignore it if you don't want to respond at all, so they haven't developed that sort of communication muscle for instant response.

Idk why but your post just reminded me of it, and I want to learn how to use it to my advantage when I talk to younger people

I like how D&D says that Al Qaeda won because its aims were to financially bankrupt the US with a massive war, when in reality it turns out the US can blow trillions without stumbling and what really hurt us was a mortgage crisis

Also people have a real hard time seeing through statements like "Oh, the US is bombing the poo poo out of our senior leaders and weapons systems? That's exactly what we wanted them to do". Pretending every setback is part of your Master Plan is like Rule #1 of how to get hosed in the rear end without having everyone desert you immediately.

The War on Terror? Yeah, the US really buckled under that one. That's the war that involved GM floundering and instituting a financial crisis, right?

Literally anything can be "What the terrorists wanted"
Deficit spending? The Patriot Act? Political polarization? Bombing the Mideast? It's What The Terrorists Wanted™

It's about as dumb as "well I guess we should have counterterrorist teams in Sowfuck North Dakota because if I were a terrorist I'd really freak America out by bombing a 10 person county fair to show that everyone is in danger!"

There's a group of former special ops dudes who go to Africa and guard rhinos from poachers.
