In reply to this

This man is a Senior Fellow of the Brookings Institute, previously Chief Economist of the Institute of International Finance and Chief Currency (FX) Strategist for fucking Goldman Sachs

He's literally one of the people in the fucking backrooms for the hight priests of Capitalism and his brain's being drained by the onslaught of speak-and-spell bots. Our so-called "elite" ruling class is rapidly off-loading their thinking and reasoning onto literal spam ad chatbots.

it's hexbear's birthday, so post bears

Also the quoted post is about some rabid ukro-nazi, who had openly called for anyone speaking Russian in Ukraine to be lynched, getting shot by ukro-nazis because they felt called out for primarily speaking is Russian instead of Ukrainian.

Of course ukro-nazis go out and justify the shooting of this ukro-nazi by saying she was a Russian spy and a former komsomol attendee ( which would be most Ukrainians old enough to have had a childhood during the Soviet Union lmao)

Marta Havryshko @HavryshkoMarta

A year ago, professor, politician, and language vigilante Iryna Farion was murdered in my native Lviv

Quick wiki look says her titles were "Linguist and former People's Deputy of Ukraine" all that tells me was she was one of the people spearheading the national myth weaving of an Aryan ukraine that was polluted by the asiatic russians.

🎟️It all began with her open conflict with members of the Azov movement over the widespread use of Russian among them. Celebrity commanders didn’t mince words in publicly attacking Farion.

Lmao, genocidal Ukrainians getting mad at genocidal Ukrainians for not being genocidal enough even though they're the literally SS

🎟️Farion was illegally fired from Lviv Polytechnic University.

Owned.

🎟️She received numerous death threats, which the police ignored while the far right mocked and downplayed them.

Nazis love to eat their own

🎟️On July 19, a young man shot her near her home in Lviv.

Nazi on nazi violence.

🎟️The suspected shooter was Vyacheslav Zinchenko, 18, a Russian-speaking man from Dnipro, whose father serves in the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

🎟️Zinchenko was affiliated with far-right groups and followed neo-Nazi and extremist social media.

See? Nazi on nazi violence. Didn't like their racial purity being called for not using the right dialect and solved it the only way they knew how.

The investigation is ongoing—just like the wave of political assassinations in “democratic” Ukraine, which has only accelerated since the war began.

Incredibly funny there's a small section among the ukro-nazis that are mad about the lack of democracy in their country. Probably because they're not the ones in charge of the ship.

The photos reveal hate material, including “old” Azov insignia found on Zinchenko’s laptop and phone.

Anyways, just wanted to wrap up the post with a "L Bozo rest in piss, hope your ukro-nazi haters follow you into the grave quickly" and once again suggest anyone looking for a nice book to read to give "How the Steel Was Tempered" by Nikolai Ostrovsky a chance.

Part one and two below.

The actual section is rather barebones as it gives appropriate recognition to micro/mini and small tactical drones as the greatest and most abundant threat to the platoon element, but doesn't really provide the element the necessary means to detect, avoid, or counter UAS systems beyond what boils down to "keep your eyes peeled and take your best potshots at it"

It gives the same standardized advice that's given for the defense, i.e seek cover and concealment, use decoys, minimize your visibility footprint, have some lads keep watch. And like sure, there really isn't much more you can do if your tank platoon is deployed on a mission forward of defensive lines. But you'd think there'd be discussion of standardizing anti-air/anti-UAS armaments, like integrating M-SHORAD pattern Strykers as a stop-gap measure while working on either inventing or buying SPAA vehicles to integrate into the platoon, or issuing additional MANPADS or even just fucking shotguns to the crew assigned to be air guards.

Fuck imagine watching the entirety of the Ukraine war and the rapid evolutions warfare has been going through and walking away from it thinking "we'll be fine not doing anything both sides figured out the hard way, that's unrealistic!" Slat-armor? Is that tableware? Equipping supporting infantry with armaments that let's them easily clay-pidgeon shoot shitty Amazon drones with grenades strapped to them? Nah give them heavy-ass shitty new 6.8mm rifles that have even less ammo in them so they can't even mag-dump in a vain attempt to save their asses.

Fuck me what is wrong with the army

Fuck you @9to5@hexbear.net I wasted three hours and this isn't even finished. I hope you enjoy it :3

Yeah genuinely I don't feel like finishing it, it was a mainly fun though.

(2) After a year of this, the wife has a baby and works just 20 hrs a week, still at $15/hr. The husband has been promoted to store manager or higher (convenience and fast-food store chains are desperate for workers they can promote) and makes $25/hr.

(3) Their new combined income is $67,600--less than before, but still enough for a good life except in a few megalopolises. This is a completely realistic scenario, and not even demanding (the husband could easily continue to work 48 hrs a week). And it's been done with jobs at convenience stores.

(4) If you come up with places where the starting wages are lower, they're highly likely to be in poor states where the cost of living is lower. It's still a realistic scenario. Making enough money to support a family is easy in the United State if you're willing to work. Easier than it was in the fabled 1950s.

Did you also notice he's constantly getting exploded by the author or director? Feels like there's something there to look into
