I know he can reach the mid-20's if he puts the effort in.

With two years plus to go.

Term limits for executive positions do serve a purpose. The office is inherently powerful and controlling the admin apparatus long term cements that power. Legislative seats don't have this issue and term limits for them are a negative.

Next in DoD follies, a carrier has to return to port because half the crew is bed bound with the flu.

Yes and no, you can see your medical records and that will tell you what the vaccinations were for, but yeah, they do a TON of shots in basic and usually again anytime you deploy outside the US.

At least they are obvious.

I agree actually, the Army(and marines) never have as much CAS support as they want, it's a large reason for the existence of attack helicopters, allowing them some lee way on fixed wing CAS should be a no brainer, but the AF would scream.

You could also try developing a modern dedicated CAS platform, that takes modern threats into account.

"The scandal is not what is illegal, it is what IS legal."

Not even running for a new term.

I think that ratio would have been close to truee back in the 80's when I was in college, difference is that they were mostly Paul Ryan asshats and not completely raciest incels.

DoJ hire a bunch of forensic accountants please and let them cook. Also, massively staff up the SEC criminal department

It will be around for awhile, but there will be attrition so likely most wo't last.

If you divide that by the time they put in, these people are not doing much better than minimum wage.

Popular history has elided how....unpopular the rationing was though. American consumers tolerated it, but were NEVER happy about it. And that tolerence was degrading fast toward the end. That (among other signs of public discontent) played a role in ok'ing the use of the atomic bombs to end it.

He targeted the daughter of people who worked for NCIS? ....ummm.....I got nothing.

The beef equivalent to spam.

Literally Call of Duty shenanigans.

Right before a couple congress members were killed when they went down to investigate.

The number of guys in my unit who were just short of being "sovereign citizens" nut cases was not small.

The other reason is that most will better tolerate the increased taxes we should impose if they see the very well off getting nailed harder.

I work in potable water production, I know firsthand how the standards work. I already have done and got the results from the first round of testing. Right now the standard is detection level at least for reporting. What level you have to meet has not been set in stone yet.

Yeah, but in the Maine market, you hit the "more money is not all that useful." level long before you hit "matching Collins in fundraising" level.

They still have not gone all in with manpower mobilization for (justified) fear of political backlash in Moscow and St Petersburg. They are trying to fight without no where near enough infantry to accomplish their goals.

The only place I have seen where outright replacement happening is drones taking the place of light mortars or other infantry squad level support weaponry. Still likely more expensive, by a magnitude though.

That isn't how drinking water standards work.

1. There are a handful of substances where the standard is zero.

2.Because you can neither detect below a certain amount, or you can only successfully remove to a certain amount., the actual legal standard will end up at one of those two levels.

You are not understanding the relationship. PFAS is IS basically inert, that is why it became so widespread in use everywhere in the girst place. But "inert" does not mean safe. Eventually the buildup gets in the way of cell metabolism. This leads to to several possible issues.

...."being hard to remove from the body" IS the reason the standards are so low. PFAS builds up over time because the body can't get rid of it, so ANY amount is basically there for good, and it will continue to build up.

There is a difference between State Schools and Liberty University.

Yeah, but STILL should try to avoid the Ivy's. At least till there is a little more balance in the academic path government employee's (at least the appointees) have taken.
