Given the firings/retirement of a bunch of govt employees recently, it’s probably still higher than 1.3 million. Most people just back into a clearance without realizing they need one, and bounce right through the process. If you haven

One can be very wealthy and have zero net worth. Wealthy in family, security, etc. The net wealth of a toddler in perfect living conditions is almost infinite. Their net worth however, is 0.

N=7 There is an entire industry built around clearing people, your tax dollars pay them. Of course everyone you listed was contacted, that’s the whole point. How is filling out an SF-86 hard? Maybe what you meant was, justifying the reason

> Back in the 1990s, it was exceptionally difficult to get TS clearance. SCI on top of that must have been even harder. Not really. I know a litany of people who had TS/SCI clearances in the 90s. It was literally a job requirement f

Capitalism and communism couldn’t be more different, in the true definition of the terms. Communism is literally a ruling class dictating the lives of an entire country. Capitalism at least gives the opportunity of individual action. You ar

It is just a word, or rather a phrase. Words are given meaning by people. You’re attaching a different meaning to the phrase than is intended by the user of said phrase. This is a “you” problem and not some moral quandary.

Net worth is purely about assets minus liability. “How many dollars are attached to your tax identity and how many dollars of stuff can be taxed” It has zero to do with the value of the the life of a person. You can conflate the two if you’

The sub nukies I know would disagree with this. The few weeks before they would get back to port they just eat whatever they can find. Storage is a big deal on a sub.

883 billion divided by 200 million is like 4 grand. How do you figure each taxpayer pays 300k/yr in taxes to the defense budget?

I appreciate that you feel this way, it’ll never happen. The US will never give up on eating meat. Full stop. For every vegan/vegetarian in the US there are probably 25 people that feed beef products to their pets on a daily basis.

I don’t know what the news rhetoric on all of this is, I haven’t seen it mentioned on here or on news articles, and I’m not on the socials/don’t watch tv. IIRC the initial ACA bill always had this cliff in order to make the numbers wor

I reject your premise. Your vote doesn't always matter.

So are you saying that, in this instance, understanding your vote doesn’t matters is delusional, or not? You never addressed that. You latched onto the nihilistic part, which I suppose isn’t surprising.

Hmm. Possibly. I predict that California will “go blue” in the presidential elections for at least the rest of my lifetime. Someone who “votes red” in California can say that their vote doesn’t matter, and a reasonable person would understa

Catch up to what? LLMs have clearly stalled in terms of advancement, they just kind of sort of get a little bit different at this point. Not even better, just different.
