I have a friend who post dumbshit about child support all the time. He doesn’t pay child support and is just mad because he has friends that have to even though they’re good fathers. You miss the whole fuckin point buddy.

Every once in awhile, someone takes a jab at Bannon (Barron? Trump's youngest kid), and then the same people who spent 10 years talking poo poo about Obama's daughters are suddenly clutching their pearls about how you should leave the kids out of this.

Slavery, child labor, discrimination, fraud and embezzlement, manslaughter, waste disposal, usury, etc. Hell, even the ten commandments they claim to want posted at every courthouse.

This is one of those memes that serves only to identify the cream of the crap, screening for scammer marks.

There'd be no slavery today even if we didn't pass any laws because...free market...look, anyway, the point is that despite the entirety of human history saying otherwise these things would have just gone away on their own as business owners put humans above profit.

That's also not the best example because the U.S. still has slavery it just isn't literal chattel slavery.

Wasn't there something about how convicts are being forced to help fight the wildfires out west for like $3 a day? And they're ineligible to work as firefighters when they're released since they have a criminal record?

Yup. California. It's like a dollar or two. You'd think if that they were good at it they'd have a job lined up easy when they get out but the department won't hire felons.

According to Vox, it's $2/day + $1/hr. The real "neat" thing about it is just who they have working the line.

Those don't sound very safe honestly. You can make plastic shotgun shells but they're constant diameter, .308 is necked down, can't imagine they would eject very well. Wouldn't the end just flare out and get stuck in the chamber?

The chamber is what contains all the pressure, the case is just a lining that flexes to it - the necked down portion is formed as part of the chamber too. As long as it springs back even slightly it’ll extract fine.

The case doesn’t do too much honestly - it holds the primer, bullet, and powder in a convenient cartridge, it gets grabbed by the mechanisms for feeding the cartridge and extracting the spent case, and it takes some of the heat away after firing.

The bigger risk imo is melting if you fire a lot of rounds quickly because that would be a nightmare to properly clean and make sure you don’t have feeding or kaboom issues

The brass also serves as a heatsink. It's one of the big challenges with caseless ammo as the heat could build up to the point that the propellant would cook off prematurely and in an improper manner.

Really, that is one of the most ingenious things about fire arms to me. Too much heat? Literally eject the heat sink holding it.
