someone break it down for me. what do people theorize would happen if we just.... left afghanistan? not leaving a small group of US troops behind. i mean 100% of all US assets out.

if the answer is gas prices would go up, then that's the answer. if the answer is all of america would die due to terrorist attacks, then that is the answer. but what do "experts" or whatever think?

Afghanistan would continue to be a lovely place and every decade or so we'd be the victim of a shocking but ultimately irrelevant terror event, kinda like now.

Oh yeah we'd melt down because our national identity is tied to the military's success and extricating ourselves from the War on Terror means it was one giant pointless failure. We're too far down that rabbit hole to come out.

Every single story that I've read about WV talks about the outside employer who comes in to suck up all that cheap labor but can't find employees who can pass a drug test. It's almost a trope by now.

This is the case most times someone brings some industrial type business to lovely states because CHEAP LABOR. They cant find enough staff to pass drug tests and then the ones they do hire are incapable of doing the job

A $15 minimum wage in the US probably won't increase prices, but it will definitely speed up adoption of automation of low-paying nonskilled labor.

Yeah this is basically my client that owns a cutting edge machine shop. Load material, load program, play on cell phone while making sure it doesnt spin apart. There isnt much fat left to cut there.

Thats even if you want someone to bother watching. If you're doing cutting then you can just fill the stocker with material, send the program to it then come back and collect your sheets full of cut widgets Monday morning.

That said, I'm for an increased minimum wage, but it's just going to force us as a country to figure out how to keep the same (or even increase) amount of employment so the same people are getting those wages.

there's an easy solution to this but it is DOA because it involves making the rich actually pay something

so how hosed is everyone in SK if pyongyang catches a nuke?

because it would be kind of weird to watch chest thumping, military boner republicans and republican supporters kill a bunch of american troops and be okay with it.

because i am 100% certain there's a larger than acceptable group of people that would cheer him on if he nuked NK and killed abunch of american troops in the process.

the same Republicans that are all aboard turbo-loving transgendered service members?

remember, they care about the idea of the military, not the actual people.
