What to do with the "savings" from A-stan

WuWei:

So you would spend it on the homeless. Buy them houses?

How about we spend that money on rebuilding the VA? Would that be acceptable?

Whatever you want. Is the VA that broken?

What kind of social programs?

Supreme_War_Pig:

Social programs.

Like what?

TheRedComet:

I was thinking raise pay and benefits for soldiers and veterans. Since it is money allotted for military purposes.

There’s going to be a RIF. More people looking for work.

We have the best fighting force in the world

No we don"t.

160,000 Left Behind in Afghanistan?

What kind of social programs?

Well, somebody came along and said:

I’m down with that.

Hmmm…interesting. in your opinion, who has the best?

Okay, I was always under the impression that our soldiers were top notch and that the leadership sucked.

Semantics? I said the best in the world but man on man we aren’t the best?

Or are there armies out there that would make us silly no matter what? Who is the best?

I haven’t done the job so my questions are genuine. I easily could of bought into some of the “we are the best” rhetoric.

WuWei · 2021-09-04T04:40:21.102Z

Taliban right now.

sikofit · 2021-09-04T05:15:12.024Z

Okay I see it. They outlasted and drove out 2 different superpowers. They rule in strategy even if they lose in number of casualties.

Do you think their goals remain regional now that they control the country

But if we were to put that money into the homeless problem beside social programs what I think would work better than buying them all houses would be a subsidy/incentive that makes low income housing profitable for developers. Construction jobs are good jobs right? It doesn’t matter what kind of building is going up. And that way we’re not giving away free homes to freeloaders that don’t want to work

We should invest in 3d printed homes. They are about $10,000 right now and can be built in 24 hours. They are usually around 450 square feet. They aren’t fancy, but they would be a good place for people to get back on their feet.

Google it…the technology is really cool.

I see communities of them on public land. The footprint is very small. They could be used to help people get back on their feet.

Ya, the Taliban invaded the Capitol building and Pelosi ran out of Depends? And damn it, Sandy Cortez missed the whole event so she developed PTSD or some kind of mental issue.
LOL
So when do Americans get to find out all the dirty real stuff about Jan 6th?

Cool, like where? In the town square? The desert? National Parks?

How do you know they want to “get back on their feet”?

Don’t 3D printers only print in plastic?

The ChiComs would roll the Talis but they won’t, they don’t need to.

The where is for someone else to figure out. Sure, there are some that don’t want help, but there are many more that do.

They are 3d printing with all kinds of material. The houses are made of concrete.
