Godholio posted:The rich didn't usually go to war back then, either. The rich went to war as a matter of manliness and honor back then, but it was typically the sons of the nobility, who hadn't yet truly inherited their wealth as their own. Hell it was like that in WWI as well for places that had established titular nobility (i.e. Britain). They'd either purchase or inherit commissions and go off to add glory to the family name (or die a muddy death in anything but noble fashion) Oddly enough that kind of stopped being a thing after WWI.

Dude basically got served the death of his son, said thanks, and asked for seconds. Empire is a hell of a drug. FAUXTON fucked around with this message at 16:39 on Sep 13, 2017 |

I don't see any reality being possible where the taxes cost more than what I pay now and/or it gives worse coverage than the bullshit "free market" of health care provides. Don't even make the program mandatory or anything so Cletus "MUH RIGHTS" J Yokel can't bitch about it. Just set it up, let people choose on their own and let the raging God drat hypocrisy of insurance providers whining about prices being too low blare out across the nation. Let the collective shrug of "eh, pound sand assholes, this is a better deal" greet their money-over-people poo poo fuckery.

On the one hand, my out of pocket costs would go up because I have a free PPO. On the other hand, it would be nice to not worry about health benefits ever, so I'm fine with it.

I've wondered that myself. Is the step sibling loving thing a result of poor white americans having 6 kids with 2 different spouses, resulting in a large number of step-families.

Mid-air refueling seems like something you'd want AF1 to have. I know it's going to cost a couple billion bucks by the time all is said and done, but it seems like the president's flying HQ is something that we should spend the money on. https://twitter.com/DavidMDrucker/status/907989414206431233

How often do they use midair refueling now? A 747 with only 50 people on it doesn't seem like a big gas hog, but I guess in the rare case that everything on the ground is glass/fire, it's good to work from the air for a while.Dead Reckoning posted:Can't we all just agree that it's extremely gross and that we can't wait for the industry to move on to something, anything else?

Air Force One is supposedly Donnie Dumbfuck's favorite movie, and that plane could do midair refueling. This administration is going to damage every program it gets its stupid hands on.

The article says the VC-25s have never used aerial refueling. Doesn't seem right - surely they have to do it every so often for qualification? Even if they haven't used it operationally surely the E-4 must all the time and in a crisis AF1 becomes one basically?

That's the problem with the centrist garbage, they cede ground before negotiations begin. Fully covering dental, vision, rehab, and prescriptions is batshit loving insane. Canada's already having serious issues paying for their UHC, and they cover a fraction of Sanders' own plan. While the United States manifestly needs universal healthcare, that's best accomplished with a multi-payer system that allows for supplemental insurance to cover things like prescriptions, vision, dental and the like.

Canada's already having serious issues paying for their UHC, and they cover a fraction of Sanders' own plan. So throw the whole plan at Republicans and let them make that argument. Do the same poo poo they've been doing for loving decades. If you're arguing that covering dental, vision, and rehab is just a bridge too far then great, the argument is about what the program should cover not whether we need to get government out of the way and let the free market skull gently caress the children of the poor before we grind up their parent's bones to squeeze one more drop of blood out of that stone.
