Sounds like you know the difference between the two programs then.

Sorry about that, I meant to write "discretionary" in there. Regardless, the point of spending less on the military still stands.

We can't change mandatory spending or we have millions of elderly people dying because social security vanishes into thin air.

It's not about our "standard of living", it's more about class mobilization. If you were born poor, you could still get a job at McDonalds, go to college on those wages, and buy a home/start a family and live middle class easily, if not upper-middle class if you chose a high-earnings potential career.

Today, that's close to impossible unless you take student loans, go through the gauntlet of getting a higher paying job, and then have to grapple with home prices assuming you don't live in a place with reasonably affordable home ownership.

If you think the DMV and government offices are "make-work" then we need to start with cutting military spending because it's the biggest "make-work" government program we have that the vast majority of U.S. spending goes to.

That's the same argument as :

If nuclear weapons are superior to all weapons, no need to ban them!!

It sucks that the company screwed over their loyal customers by forcing future updates of the ring behind a subscription service. I was about to pull the trigger on the 2, and they announced the three the next day with the subscription service so I ended up never buying one.

Your solution isn't going to work. No one really "polices the police", and LAPD literally has 18 different gangs within the department. This is why the push for body cameras is so strong- there is no other way than to monitor the police 24/7 and make sure what they're doing is just.

I also hate it- Tolkein survived WW1 and would probably hate that military companies are looking to him for inspiration

What a dumb-ass comment. If we had normalized guns and everyone was carrying a gun everywhere, a few beers would likely result in many gunfights lol.

It's insane that a company that prides itself to "Bring the Truth to Light" does shady shit like this. Disgusting lol
