I thought basic training was physical conditioning and brainwashing.

This is only true if your job isn't an actual combat job. "Basic training" is exactly that. How to march, salute, what the ranks are, etc. Basic rifle marksmanship and the bayonet are part of those 8 weeks but if that's your highpoint for being taught how to kill then I guess it's good you chose be to a clerk

I learned how to play hide the salami in basic but I can't remember if it was part of the official curriculum or just something we worked on in our free time.

How's retirement, grandpa. Basic training was a good time to learn about all the different religions as you hopped around finding out which church service lasted the longest and provided cookies.

When rich people get money, they create jobs, innovate, build up infrastructure, and overall make the world a better place. They also use the money to pay for the best executives, who use their special knowledge they learned in Ivy League schools to lead us into a new golden age. This money is spent more efficiently by private companies than the government, so they have to hide their profits in offshore tax havens so it doesn't get taxed. Also they have to buy back their own stock as a reward for all their hard work. Unfortunately,

The more planes that crash, the more that need to be bought to replace them, the higher the demand should be. That’s how capitalism works.

First, use your planes to spread the virus. Second, claim that the virus you spread is costing you dearly. Third, collect mega bonus check. Cackle evilly.

The early and mid 2000's were pretty lovely compared to the early/mid 90's as we never really recovered from implosion in 2000/2001, we spent a pile of money on stupid wars and had a housing bubble form and then implode which briefly propped up parts of the economy until finance croaked.

Bailing out companies that spent Billions on stock buybacks without any strings attached sends the wrong message, if you ask me. I guess this capitalism thing isn't actually about the best companies surviving competition?

Got paid today, put a chunk of it into a mid-cap index fund because the current quarantine prevents me from getting cash from an ATM to directly light on fire. Given my timing on everything, expect some major number-go-down tomorrow.
