Own stateroom, someone to clean it and make your bed, change the linen, own head, own shower, laundry just down the hall, alcohol, no uniform, no grooming standards (long as you loving shower, no smelly Fuckers in my engine room) etc etc. You're still cleaning scavenge spaces and getting oil all up in weird places though. True noblemen sip coffee while starring out of the window in magnificent ennui. lightpole posted:Also, pipe wrenches, at least 48" and none of that pussy aluminum poo poo. Ah yes of course.

Scavenge space cleaning is for contractors or ratings, officers don't deal with that poo poo, we're too expensive. US flag has a much more reasonable work assignment for officers instead of making the 4th engineer do everything. What you are talking about sounds like a hood ornament, pretty, but functionally useless. lightpole fucked around with this message at 12:32 on Dec 6, 2017 |

We don't get paid the same, they have a 401k and we have a defined benefit pension. Their base pay is the same but we get more overtime and penalty time and come out ahead but that's all blood money. Also, I can continue not giving a poo poo about the captain. For some reason captains are always really high strung. The mates also gave up their business class international flights on some of their contracts last negotiation. Sitting in economy with the proles tarnishes my bourgeois shine. lightpole fucked around with this message at 12:57 on Dec 6, 2017 |

Companies have already said there won't be more hiring or pay raises, the money is going to share buybacks and dividends. The whole propisition is full of poo poo, that's not how economics works at this stage of the economic cycle. The bipartisan tax reform groups that looked at this under Obama and Bush and back through the decades all said that reform meant cutting entitlements and SIMPLIFYING the loving tax code, enabling them to just cut corporate rates. Companies would then save a huge amount of time and money on tax preperation without changing the tax take. Apparently the GOP decided to go in a different direction that doesn't actually make sense and could end up hurting the economy and growth &c &c lightpole fucked around with this message at 13:02 on Dec 6, 2017 |

Waroduce posted:They didn't receive nearly the same level of land warfare training and were confined to brown water ops for the most part. They'd get out of the water to go demo something but had a much more limited op library. Indictment and harassment was always done close to water where as the SEALs began operating further and further away from it in DA settings. I wouldn't mind an effortpost on this subject if you could spare the time, if not then at least the milhist thread. In fact the whole special forces umbrella seems so complicated and unwieldy that I'd love a breakdown of it in general.

The best part of all this poo poo is that apparently Schumer also suggested recognizing Jerusalem as the capital. The whataboutism when the Third Intifada starts will be amazing. The Muslim world is going to love the SCHUMER SAID TO DO IT excuse.

I also like that some universities will let literal Nazis speak but you say one bad word about Israel (with 0 mention of Jewish people/religion) and you can get banned.

https://twitter.com/pvolpe/status/938449363977859073 Six total Democratic Senators, all women, in the last few minutes made statements telling Franken to resign. There was another forcible kissing thing that came out this morning from 2006. Sounds like leadership gave them the official go-ahead. Bye, Al.

Not sure if it's my partisanship, or taking party cues, but he just can't be effective anymore. You can't do the usual day trading in the Senate to represent your state when your party isn't in power and they also want you gone. https://twitter.com/TomFTroy/status/938455307960938496 https://twitter.com/SenBobCasey/status/938454468995231745 Casey/Brown are right.
