None of this was meant as an argument to join up, just stating facts in relation to my experience, and how the logic could folllow for some in desperate situations. It sucks to feel like you have to join the military because the starting line is 100 paces ahead of you. All of it sucks my dude. My original point was that recruiters prey on desperation, remember? It’s just up there ⬆️⬆️
No like, base housing, or a housing allowance. As for healthcare I see your point and yes that’s a travesty. But my daughter was born in a hospital and I paid zero dollars for prenatal care and her birth. So. That’s what I meant.
But fast food won’t guarantee housing or healthcare. Military recruitment preys on those with nowhere else to go.
Completely different the fuckin same
Damn he really just be doin shit
Just an interesting thing to share… I lived in the US until I was 40 and moved to Norway. They just don’t sell “cold remedy” meds here, or at least not even close to the extent the US does. We have sore throat drops, and OTC pain relief. Some cough medicine but it’s pretty weak imo. I suspect this is because the expectation here is that if you’re sick, you take sick time off work. You can rest and recover. Going to the doc to get sick time approved is at most like $20 and if you and your doc have a good relationship, you can do this via email. In the US, you’re expected to power through unless contagious and even then, just try to pretend you’re okay.
World’s (or at least, That Plane’s) Worst Dad
Thanks for nothing, Peter.
Are you sure because too many times I’ve been on a 2hr flight and there’s a line for the lav the entire time. It’s a mystery I will never understand.
A baby’s shitty diaper pales in comparison to the recently deceased evacuation of bowels of an adult human.
I used to work with a lady who, upon missing her shift, the next day the managers were all going around quietly telling staff that she died on her way to work, that she’d had a massive stroke while driving. New fear unlocked that day. But yeah I guess you don’t hear about it on the news because the may just assume car accident is what causes the fatalities.
There is an amount of her assets and such that she couldn’t and shouldn’t be expected to give away. But she gave $1M to food pantries in each of the cities she toured the last 2 years and also gave millions in bonuses. And she probably didn’t feel any poorer. But I think because her dad was in finance and she started so young, many good business decisions were made so that her wealth just compounds no matter what she does.
It should be up to her and her team to allocate which charities and such she gives, sure.
But she’s an American billionaire, and is by design, not taxed as much as she should be, and that is the crux of the entire issue.
Chiming in to agree with you since for some reason you’re getting downvoted… no ethical billionaires. None.
I love Taylor Swift. A billionaire. She certainly gives a LOT back to others, the community ant large, etc. In many ways, I really believe we made the right person famous.
But there’s no justification for her to be a billionaire, she and all billionaires should be trying every day to lower their bottom line, not selling multiple copies of the same vinyl in different colors, as a small for instance.
But not gran’s, right?
Seems to be working!!
Put that thing back where it came from or so help me
Norway isn’t part of the EU. Unsure the implications then since we are holding a lucrative natural resource and the EU can’t assume this is community property. Maybe our communal wealth fund is about to get a whole lot bigger. 🤷🏻♀️
You see, her CDs are in his truck.
