bird food bathtub posted:Its a pretty Nothing Matters situation though. Unless people like Lindell, specifically, themselves, end up in jail it's a range from meaningless to counter productive. If a low level flunky/true believing idiot gets bagged that's just a bigger bloody t-shirt they get to wave for the rest of the braying MAGA masses. Until the loudest mouths start suffering consequences everything is a bonus for them. Jailing low level flunkies will definitely have a chilling effect on all of the mid level operators, who will be forced to recognize that their masters can't or won't protect them from the fallout of their illegal actions. It's not a solution to the problem, but it is definitely another obstacle for these brain-dead fucks to deal with. It also ups the profile of everyone involved, which will likely make subsequent investigations more severe and better funded. Beyond that, paying for a competent attorney to deal with a federal investigation quickly raps up 6 figure +++ expenses. It's an immense amount of pressure to be under. The tried and true method of catching a big fish is to roll up their flunkies and turn them into CIs. Grip it and rip it fucked around with this message at 20:29 on Sep 14, 2022 |

At my last unit we just had a binder with everyone's login, and the answers, and the watchstander would log in, take the trainings and reap their reward. Wha? The Military... doing something stupid?

Hekk posted:https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/14/business/patagonia-ownership/index.html I took an environmental justice course in undergrad where the professor had written pretty extensively about how all forms of conservation that aren't allocating dollars for the specific purpose of conserving land or animals directly are a waste of time and effort, and ultimately fail to achieve any substantial progress. He was a big supporter of the world collectively paying Brazil money not do develop massive sections of the amazon rainforest and other similar endeavors because of how completely our economic system fails to price in the cost of pollution into the sales price of an item.

Blind Rasputin posted:The master of my Masonic lodge was in the military and one time we were talking about stolen valor stuff and his take on it was really interesting. He was a “paper pusher” in logistics and is quite open about how he never even left the United States. But he was still in the military and assuredly did something that was important in many small and big ways. He says one issue with these stolen valor people is that a lot of them were in jobs like his, they get out and see all the positive praise the actually deployed shooters get, the “hero and bravery” stuff, and somewhere in their warped mind they start asking themselves “well what about me?” Like, they feel entirely unrecognized and left out of the general public praise for the pipe hitters. They want in on it. So they start misrepresenting what they did in the military and it just snowballs all the gently caress of the way from there. Watching that Don Shipley guy, a lot of the stolen valor idiots he goes after fall into this group. They’ll have been a petty officer or whatever on some ship that hung out on the east coast for a year and turn that into “deployed with navy seals” because one time a seal was in the cafeteria with them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLX6vrwEw-g

Riding out a storm when your state government has been dramatically depleted by Covid is a bad idea. I get the feeling that some communities are gonna need quite a bit of time to get power restored

The federal government spent billions and billions of federal dollars to deal with "superstorm" sandy. They can pony up to fix coastal communities too. If we want to actually deal with climate change, thats one thing. Simply choosing winners and losers out of those harmed by the consequences of our inaction is another. gently caress that poo poo.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:I don't recall a majority of New Yorkers voting for assholes who tell the federal government to gently caress off so they can be more bigoted. 47.86 percent of Floridians that voted in the 2020 election voted for Biden. The idea that loving over the whole state will only target the bad actors that are preventing us from achieving progress on the climate or whatever is abject nonsense. There are a huge number of people who don't support republican policy who would get caught up in an effort to punish Politicans. Playing politics with disaster recovery is one of the things that absolutely wrecked New Orleans, and there is no way to fix the consequences of what was done. Cugel the Clever posted:It's not "picking winners and losers" to stop giving massive insurance subsidies to the most disaster prone areas. The practice has had the perverse consequence of encouraging more and more development in the areas most at risk of natural disaster. Development sprawling into extremely flood- and wildfire-prone areas is enabled by a political refusal to meaningfully factor in the extraordinary costs of rebuilding time after time after time. We're not just protecting the people who happened to find themselves living in risky spots, we're holding the bag while more and more assholes have moved into these areas. It's not sustainable—even if we could soak the rich until there's nothing left, spending that money on rebuilding mansions in a flooded swamp would be horribly misspent and one of the most asinine example of human hubris imaginable. Yeah I don't disagree with any of this but deciding to broach the subject as a massive hurricane bears down on the USA is aggressively lovely. Like I said addressing climate change is one thing - holding a pending disaster over the heads of people who have to contend with it most directly is bullshit.

lol what a sanctimonious clown you are. How many people do you think live in these flood prone areas that don't have the financial security to up and leave? How many people do you think were displaced by Hurricane Katrina who were never able to see their homes or communities again? The idea that this discussion is as cut and dry as gun ownership and school shootings is exclusively a product of your lack of perspective to these issues. Not to mention that the individuals suffering the burden of climate change in this instance are doing so as a result of how the ENTIRE planet lives, not just their communities. Suggesting that we start by loving over the people who are dealing with the consequences of how society at large operates. You want to point to people who live in communities that have been affected by climate change like they decided on these circumstances and chose that course of action. It is natural to want to discuss how these events and changes effect society. It makes you sound like an rear end in a top hat when you do it in a callous and uninformed manner.

ThisIsJohnWayne posted:Because discussing what is politically possible or realisticly possible in the US system is demonstrably dangerously depressing and/or a bannable offence for encouraging violence? The eat the rich jokes weren't invented to be funny As someone who lived in a community that was wrecked by climate change, it's not an uplifting topic to bandy about. After Katrina the number of big brain think pieces that suggested rebuilding because "idiots" built the city "below sea level" was pretty sizeable. Its was lovely and revealing to see the kind of attitudes presented when rebuilding NO was brought up VS. Rebuilding NYC. The people who ultimately lose the most from climate change are the poor. That reality doesn't change in the USA and it doesn't change just because bad parties have found ways to make natural disasters profitable for themselves.

CainFortea posted:Aren't MRAPs already prone to rolling? Yeah. From wikipedia: A report dated 13 June 2008 by the 'Marine Corps Center for Lessons Learned' indicated concerns about MRAP vehicles rolling over in combat zones. The V-shaped hulls of the MRAP give it a higher center of gravity, and the weight of the MRAP can cause the badly built or poorly maintained roads in rural Iraq or Afghanistan to collapse. Of the 66 MRAP accidents between 7 November 2007 and 8 June 2008, almost 40 were due to rollovers caused by bad roads, weak bridges, or driver error. In many of the rollovers, troops were injured. However, in two separate incidents, five soldiers were killed by rolling over into a canal, thereby becoming trapped underwater with no means of escape. The report said 75% of all rollovers occurred in rural areas, often where roads had been built above grade with an adjacent ditch or canal. The report also raised concerns associated with MRAP vehicles snagging on low-hanging power lines in Iraq or its antennas getting close enough to create an electric arc, which may lead to the electrocution of the passengers. The person located in the gunner's hatch is at the highest risk.[67][70]
