Personally, a government that takes 50%+ of my income producing this kind of garbage-level content scares me more than COVID ever did.
What the fuck am I/are we paying for?
- whatshisface 5y agoHey, they're also producing the nuclear weapons. :)
- zionic 5y agoAre they though? I’m not exactly confident those work anymore. Our subs keep crashing in to underwater mountains.
- whatshisface 5y agoThat's not the fault of the subs, it's the sleep deprived and overworked crews, and inexperienced and also sleep deprived officers manning them. Our ICBMs will work perfectly when they are accidentally launched.
- throwawaylinux 5y agoOr it may be because the military has shrewdly shifted their priority from operational capability to ensuring peoples' feelings don't get hurt. Maybe the technology will work a little too perfectly so the generals will helpfully circumvent the civilian government and phone their friends in the CCP to warn them ahead of time so they won't feel offended.
- zionic 5y agoThe case you’re slyly referring to was pretty much treason. Imagine if today a US general called Russia to let them know we wouldn’t launch nukes if the president asked. It would be all you hear about on CNN.
- esrauch 5y agoThe maximum tax bracket is 37%

- whatshisface 5y agoIt can get worse if you add in local taxes. (Another comment already said this but they used the word "midwit.")
- zionic 5y agoAn entirely relevant observation. The kinds of people that pretend the top tax bracket is 37.5% are the kinds of people that don’t understand payroll tax or sales tax.
- qiskit 5y agoIt seems like we were meant to be in a constant state of fear. The war on terror seems to have abated and now we get to worry about covid and nuclear explosions? I believe it was steve pinker who showed that we live in the most peaceful time in human history. And yet, we are the most fearful people in history. It never lets up.

- dwaltrip 5y agoWhat's your BATNA? Hmm? Edit: I just skimmed the document. It's really not that bad.
