You mean like letting the physical fitness of nuclear techs slip? When they spent a million dollars on your training, they wont just kick you out. Even if you're a 250lb woman who gets stuck in scuttles. You'd have to lose just enough to fit, thats all. They wont remove you as long as you're still able to do your job.

If what you're saying actually took place and PT standards were enforced outside of bootcamp anywhere in the DOD americas readiness for war would cease. Its just not reasonable to throw out everyone who fails a PFA. (personal fitness assessment)

You do know by lowering the admittance it gets more people to join, correct? Who cares if when you left for boot camp you were a fat doughy guy that couldnt run a mile?? As long as you pass the PFA at some time in boot camp, what is the issue?? You dont realize boot camp makes you into the passable PFA version of yourself??

So whats wrong with getting more people into boot camps and working em a little harder to turn em into soldiers, sailors, airmen, etc?? You just dont know what you're talking about. Thats the point of boot camp and A school, B school, C school etc.

This is also like the 15th time recruiting standards have been raised and lowered. It used to be getting a 40 on your asvab was unacceptable, now 30 is acceptable. That was in like 2004.

Apparently this quote goes way back to ancient Greek origins. It basically means that when it matters, you are only going to be as good as you are trained to be. Therefore, training is everything

Felt pretty bad when I, who joined could barely make the cut...

Was thrn able to exceed marine PFA standards.

Then I met new recruits fresh out of AIT after being in 2 years.... and they could barely make it three miles at a knee grindingly slow pace.

Felt really bad man. 2005. There's absolutely no excuse when you're paid. Fed well. A place to sleep. Training. And equipment. Which is all unnecessary.

There were nukes on my ship that were so fucking fat. Every dept had people that were obvious BMI fails. Like 5'3" 200lbs 5'4" 190lbs and shit. The problem was to replace them would take at least six months to a year and cost nearly a million dollars per nuclear tech. Other depts not so much but even a deck dept guy, at least eight weeks and at least 150k in cost. Then you got a green guy who doesnt know shit about deck dept, still needs extensive OJT. Same for every dept. Then you got a bunch of green nukes running the reactor day to day. Not a good idea.

A lot of the senior guys, even the master chiefs, senior chiefs etc they were all over weight, out of shape. Warrant officers and officers not so much. When you're 25 years in, PFA dont matter anymore. Its a shame, dont get me wrong, but its the reality.

He might as well be with how little the democrats have been able to get done this year. I find it really annoying actually cause I would like somewhat of a balance between the two parties but its all republican/corporations winning.

What has Biden accomplished? He's putting Tesla chargers around the country for infrastructure and cutting the SALT tax for the rich and starting up the student loan machine again? Just think of what the great AOC sacrificed at the met gala, wearing a tax the rich dress, and so far they have cut taxes for the rich. Its like there was no substance and it was all for attention or something.

Oh, and they have pretty much squandered all their time, unless they magically get their shit together but they can't cause they need to run for re-election next year.

Five Republican senators raised the stakes around Justice Stephen Breyer's retirement, telling CNN they'd oppose any likely nominee out of this White House.

https://budgetmodel.wharton.upenn.edu/issues/2021/12/15/consumption-under-inflation-costs

Summary: We estimate that inflation in 2021 will require the average U.S. household to spend around $3,500 more in 2021 to achieve the same level of consumption of goods and services as in recent previous years (2019 or 2020). Moreover, we estimate that lower-income households spend more of their budget on goods and services that have been more impacted by inflation. Lower-income households will have to spend about 7 percent more while higher-income households will have to spend about 6 percent more.

[Gravydoo II]

Lol, a year ago when the stock market set a record and "lowest black unemployment!" every day with these guys. Now, omg theres too much money! Its too much money in the economy! The poor people got money for once its bad! Its too much stimulation! inflation! inflation!!

Maybe those years and years of trillion dollar tax cuts, stimulating the economy with trillions of dollars at a time being released at once, was a bad idea??? All the sudden.. oh my god! Its too much money! When it was in the stock market setting a record every day, you were bragging about it. You didnt think that giving away trillions in tax cuts would cause inflation?? LOLOL

They are qualifying "rich" people as people who want to buy cars and homes. That is middle class imo. Real rich people already have those assets and inflation is now making them more rich because of it. Either way though, its still easier for 'rich' people to buy groceries than the poor. Pretty shitty article imo.

Real rich people already have those assets and inflation is now making them more rich because of it. Either way though, its still easier for 'rich' people to buy groceries than the poor. Pretty shitty article imo.

“New research from Harvard economist Alberto Cavallo shows both sides were right, sort of: Inflation has been worse for wealthy people, and it's looking very transitory for everyone else.

Cavallo's work has to do with how inflation measures like the Consumer Price Index, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, are built around "consumption baskets," which are based on annual surveys that ask people how they spend their money.

The results of those surveys are used to figure out what an average household spends on different things like food, housing, cars, education, or health care.

The surveys used by the BLS to construct the baskets show that lower-income households spend a higher share of their money on things like groceries and shelter, while wealthier households can afford to spend a larger percentage of their dollars each month on things like transportation, recreation, and dining out.

I think you called an article from a prestigious school pretty poor without actually reading it.

TANF was never intended to be a permanent thing you could live on, or a thing that’s going to continue to cost more and more for the government. It’s right there in the name, TEMPORARY

I would be a lot more for social programs if they were made a whole lot harder to exploit. I dunno if you’ve ever had to apply for any, but it’s a nightmare process based on client feedback. Part of the reason they are so slow is because they are underfunded and part of the reason is they have to cut through so much bullshit

I know it’s not TANF, but the amount of people in my job who legit ask me if they can go on disability because of their drug addiction, or because sometimes they get (non-debilitating) anxiety is ridiculous. I want to say “No! You have no chance of being accepted, so please don’t apply! Because you are just bogging down an already slow system with this bullshit”. But I can’t say that, I have to give them the information about where they can apply if they ask out of a client-centered model

But yknow that’s actually not true. You actually can get on disability for your substance abuse. Here’s a way. Try drinking yourself to death, and quite likely one of 2 things will happen. If you don’t die of cirrhosis of the liver, you might live long enough to give yourself “wet brain” which is alcohol-induced dementia. Then you can qualify for your state’s long term care insurance, because you are mentally disabled beyond being able to care for yourself. Then the state will pay to put you in a memory care group home. But they can’t go hands on, so if you want to keep waking out the door to the gas station and buy beer and get shithoused, you can do it. All on the state government’s dollar. I’ve seen it happen

Ridiculous cases like these are the small minority, but the amount of overall bullshit the system sees is not so small

I broke my ankle here in the Netherlands about 6 months ago. Trip to the ER, x-rays, emergency surgery, overnight stay in the hospital, and a handful of different pain killers. All covered by standard insurance without question, including followup check ups and physical therapy. My insurance costs are 100 euro a month and my total deductible is 350 euro, which still no one has asked me to pay all these months later

What’s crazy is I had multiple moments I could call “American health insurance ptsd” throughout the process. Rather than call an ambulance, my American brain insisted I drive myself to the ER, because ambulance rides are crazy expensive right? Not here apparently! ER doc was in shock when I told him I drove there. Especially since it was my right ankle.

After surgery, when they told me they were going to keep me overnight for monitoring, I had a bit of a panic attack and was like “no no it’s fine I live like 5 minutes away I can just go home I’m fine, call me an Uber”. And the nurses are all like wtf are you talking about, you have insurance right? And I’m like yeah but will that insurance cover an overnight stay for just a foot? And they’re again like wtf… once they realized I was American they’re all like oooohhhh, dude you’re fine relax and watch tv, it’s all covered. They had a good laugh.

For profit health insurance is fucked. Once you’ve seen how it could be, you realize how bad it really is.

Living out your days in a medicare/medicaid based nursing home isnt exactly the lap of luxury pal, its the bottom of the barrel and quite depressing.

On the contrary, if that person wasn't an alcoholic, worked hard, saved for retirement then they might actually be spending their days in a much nicer situation.

The government should provide a bare minimum level of basic care, which is the situation you pointed out, but you are acting like this person will be living in some high standard of care, which anyone who has worked in the nursing home industry knows that medicare doesn't provide that.... not even close. The same goes for living on disability.. its not a good way to live... its poverty.

Obamacare created a commercial health insurance market monopoly here in the United States.

United Healthcare is the 8th largest company IN THE WORLD (https://fortune.com/company/unitedhealth-group/global500/).

They are making so much money that they continue to buy up every other health insurance company they can so it will only get worse from here.

The same goes for living on disability.. its not a good way to live... its poverty.

I completely agree. It isn’t living. It is crushing poverty. It’s not enough money to even make ends meet, not enough for gas to go anywhere, not enough to afford to have any hobbies

That’s why it amazes me how many people I encounter who are pushing for it who I personally don’t believe need it or would qualify. I delicately explain to them all the things I just mentioned above, along with the therapeutic benefits of at least part time employment (creates a routine in life, sometimes a sense of purpose, sometimes a sense of bettering one’s community or other people, networking with others into possible friendships, I could go in forever)

Yet, in one ear out the other. They still want the disability

I don't have any mental health training, but I think disability is like a justification for someone to not do anything. You get an official like a doctor or government body to give you a label like disabled, and all the sudden its not that you don't want to do anything, you can't because you are disabled. I've seen a lot of abled bodied people leaning pretty heavily on the "I Can't, I'm on disability" crutch. I'm probably biased though because nothing gets me going like someone on disability scheduling my last appointment of the day and showing up late because they were 'too busy'.

It’s different for each one. Sometimes it’s having never entered the workforce, or having been out of the workforce for an extended period of time while living with a relative. Usually it’s an overall sense of disempowerment, but like you said, getting a “disabled” tag is only going to further that. The fear of the unknown, and the fact that making large lifestyle adjustments are difficult for all of us

It’s not like all of them could just go to a job interview the next day and be working the next week. Some of them would need to do things to improve their mental state and environment first. But they don’t want to begin that process. Even though you get paid next to nothing, that is seen as more comfortable than the adjustment needed to work to earn more. And my particular role is not vocational rehab, but there are agencies like Job Corp whose job is to prepare people for entering the workforce and even to find them entry-level jobs. Once again, it’s all voluntary though

Are there other categories of price increases?

Teach me words pls. :)

Biden, Yellen, and the Fed can't wait for government math to take care of these CPI inflation numbers for them next year.

Starting in January 2022, weights for the Consumer Price Index will be calculated based on consumer expenditure data from 2019-2020. -BLS (https://www.bls.gov/cpi/)

[unsunghero]

Are there other categories of price increases?

Teach me words pls. :)

I heard the Consumer Price Index is unrealistic, due to the weights (I believe relative importance is their term or something) it sets for things. An explanation from the Bureau of Labor Statistics:

“In calculating the index, price changes for the various items in each location are aggregated using weights, which represent their importance in the spending of the appropriate population group”

So if you want to make your CPI look better, just crank down the relative weight of importance of gas. Pretend that the entire country only needs to commute 5 miles to and from work each day, for example

The CPI is basically whatever they want it to be. If they want it to look better and not alarm people, they adjust the rates of relative importance

It’s not the staff’s fault, or the kid’s fault that the Salvation Army leaders are partisan propaganda pushers. I dunno, I’ll probably end up donating still if I see another one, I felt bad last time

Edit: Hopefully lefties will be inspired to donate extra now due to Salvation Army apparently pushing the same political positions as them publicly to help compensate for conservatives stopping donating

You need resources to help others, so if they go under financially then no, they are not helping anyone at that point. So money does matter

Also, weird way to justify not donating to the less fortunate via a non-profit that also happens to have the exact same politics as you. I guess if you won’t donate to them, you wouldn’t donate to anybody

This is the same reason they are calling a public option socialism mind you (even though every other industrialized country has nationalized healthcare).

Ports can be both open and have a queue for ships to dock.

Demand for goods is so high, crate fees from China are up 9x pre-pandemic. They're going to go down, but not all the way right away. $27K now, was $3.5K in 2019.

Jobs reports depend so heavily on the working poor who can't afford to buy anything anyway that they become less relevant year after year.

Look at what people who earn a living wage are spending. Look at commercial real estate space.

Finally, the cost of childcare is out balance. Why work for $12/hour when you can go to Amazon for $20+? Less availability and centers running at 50% capacity are raising rates thus pricing some young parents out of the workforce.

You really don’t have a lot of real human interaction so you?

“Hey babe, check what this numbskull is saying on my elf forum”

“Ugh why do you read that crap?”

“No no you’ll like this one, old white guy thinks America is turning communist cuz Biden”

“Lol whaaat?”

We got along pretty well politically, but she’s also quite westernized. Did exchange high school in upstate New York, college and grad school in Germany, then phd at Harvard and post doc and Stanford. She’s smarter than me.

But yeah, basics like the two party system is inherently corrupt. Lobbying is insane. Wanting health insurance to be affordable to everyone isn’t a sin. Taxes aren’t evil when they’re used for the greater good. You know, terrible democratic socialist ideals. If it weren’t for the lack of mountains I’d be quite happy in Holland.

Concerned about US politics and way of life but prefers to be in Holland. Opinions discarded. Besides, *she* must be smarter than you, I mean pulling their partner into a numbskull elf forum debate to make a political comment like every other satisfied boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife do here. Ask her if that was smart to do.

Does she like country boys or are we just talking about switching hands here?

Haha "the greater good".

Yeah guys, it's just, like, the basics- make everyone equal. Sounds great doesn't it! The word equal sure is nice. Here's another good-sounding term "economic justice"! Ooooo, now that's a cool one. The evil fat cats have too much, and we're gonna take their money and give it to the people!

What no this doesn't sound communisty at all what are you talking about?

[Ooloo]

Lefties always freak out when you make any comparison at all between their nutball ideas and socialism or communism without stopping to consider their reaction.

"Lol! You think my idea is like that terrible system that has never worked and always ends in starvation and misery? No no, it's not that. I mean, it's moving us closer to that, sure, but it's not THAT!"

Like, they can admit that communism was terrible, yet advocate for policies that edge toward it and are confused when people resist that trajectory. Rooting out corruption and croney capitalism is good but does it always have to come packaged with redistribution?

Lol Jesus calm down McCarthy, I said literally none of those things. The greater good means not wasting tax money on a massively bloated and wasteful military industrial
complex and lining the pockets of corporate lobby machines.

You’re a walking talking straw man. So afraid of your own shadow that you’d rather sit in darkness than turn on a light.

You know, terrible democratic socialist ideals.

A lot of people say democratic socialist when they mean social democrat.

Democratic socialism is a political philosophy that supports political democracy within a socially owned economy, with a particular emphasis on economic democracy, workplace democracy, and workers' self-management within a market socialist economy, or an alternative form of decentralised planned socialist economy.

Social democracy is a political, social, and economic philosophy within socialism that supports political and economic democracy. As a policy regime, it is described by academics as advocating economic and social interventions to promote social justice within the framework of a liberal-democratic polity and a capitalist-oriented mixed economy.
