I'm no Musk fanboy, but it is funny you mention him not liking subways or high speed rail because didn't he try to build a subterranean high speed rail?
What are you talking about? your original statement was that they were awarded automatically, now you are talking about the standards for awarding it, which implies it is not actually automatic. I said In my original…
>Bad faith You literally misrepresented the truth then provided 2 articles, neither of which backed up you original claim. All because you evidently don't like someone. The only claim I made is that the awards are not…
That misrepresents the process, which is why I continue to clarify.
It is not a strawman, you literally said the awards are automatic, which is untrue on it's face. The vast majority of HN users are not veterans, and likely would not know that what you said is untrue.
OK, so they are not automatically awarded then? EDIT: How about CIBs? are they automatically awarded for officers that never leave the wire?
"automatically" Do you have any evidence for this at all? That they are automatically awarded? We can discuss the low bar that O's seemingly have for earning some awards, but there is no reason to misrepresent the…
Generally the expectation is that with a map, compass, and protractor a member of the Army should be able to navigate a land nav course(the simulation is very similar to the real courses). In practice, it's much more…
Very cool. I did a few points, I will be using this to brush up on my land nav. The hardest part of land nav for me when I was in the infantry was pace count and maintaining my azimuth while moving, this makes those…
But even at current levels of taxation I am looking for the exit because it is unsustainable. I am already deciding that the tax burden and COL is too high to justify my participation, and I am working on severely…

That's the point, I have a full time("good") job currently, and can barely afford food and rent for my family, I am literally selling plasma 2x a week for gas money, while paying a significant amount of taxes, so why…
Really? Because the largest, longest running, and most comprehensive study on UBI(from UBI proponents) found less labor participation, not more.
>small amount of my taxes. As it currently stands ~40% of the profits from my labor is taken by my federal and state government and they are both running at a deficit. That's before accounting for state sales, property,…
Because it places the burden on those that are actually participating in the work force. What incentive do I have to work when the end result is similar if I don't?
>abolished That doesn't seem to have happened, it looks like Rubio is now in charge of it. So again, how is this a coup?
How is the executive branch directing a department under their authority a coup? Please be specific.

Where did you get the idea that their funding has been cut? Their appropriations have been steadily increasing for most years over the time frame you call out. In addition to the the congressionally appropriated funds,…
yeah, almost entirely due to inflation, it isn't like I improved my home.
If it is just corporate profits the state and county sure piled on by increasing my property taxes 40% over the past 3 years. That's an extra $300 a month for me which is more than my car payment. edit: changed country…

I have one of these, they are a neat novelty, but i wouldn't trust it for anything, and it isn't that fun to shoot.
