I don’t really begrudge the people who enlist at 17-18 do one tour and get out because at that age you’re impressionable and exposed to all sorts of propaganda so “endure 5 years of some menial bullshit in the army, get out and go to college for free” sounds like a real good plan

Shageletic posted:Yeah is that the show about a Matt Laueresque stand in molester dude? Always thought that's a fuxked idea for a show. that was the first season with steve carell as the matt, and it was actually well-written & developed. second season was year of covid, with people in this fictional story having & wearing masks at the jump, also getting covid but no one dies from it. third season is about TERRORISTS AT THE CAPITOL and also jon hamm plays the totally-not-elon-musk person. the more american tv writers try to be topical the more succ that comes out of it.

Shageletic posted:Yeah is that the show about a Matt Laueresque stand in molester dude? Always thought that's a fuxked idea for a show. The original premise of the show is that, yes, Steve Carell's character gets MeToo'd, and this gives the network an opportunity to replace him, and they pick up Reese Witherspoon's character, a Texan that goes viral because of a Sorkin-esque viral meltdown monologue and the network head thinks having a Straight Shooter That Tells It Like It Is can be a great way for their liberal channel to pick up Trump-esque rural appeal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLaNhAgpUsQ

Clip-On Fedora posted:gently caress anybody who thinks the Democrats are any better than the Republicans at this point. There was food assistance during the pandemic in the form of expanded SNAP and free school lunches. Some of the aid even stayed after the pandemic was mostly over. The Biden admin permanently upped SNAP benefits by about 30% and kept a higher income threshold for free school lunches.

It was guaranteed basic income that worked when it wasn't hosed.
