I think it’s important enough to note, there’s no evidence showing this was the plan in any Soviet campaign in WW2. (But this is based off memory so there could be a single digit number of times)

In WW1? That would be accurate. Say what you will about Soviets but weapons were something they could produce and properly supply unlike the tsar.

In the Ukraine war though you are probably correct.

Yeah, our cops are horrible and legal system ain’t great either.

What we know so far, the guy was also committed to an asylum for hearing voices telling him to kill people.

Seems like yet another failure of people not doing their jobs yet again.

Here’s what I’ve done when attempting at my workplace via the postal workers union.

Get in contact with an organizer, they are there to help guide you or who ever wants to be the main leader of this effort. I will say, as the lead organizer in my attempt, it’s just talking a lot, and getting people to a meeting, it kinda sucks but isn’t a huge ordeal to do, and takes maybe 2 hours in a busy week.

I went through the AFL-CIO website aflcio.org/formaunion and filled out my information, during my major attempt it took half a week to get in contact with an organizer, though it could take a bit longer.

You’ll get in contact with an organizer and they’ll get a rundown of your workplace and what it looks like.

After that there’s about an hour’s worth of training to know your rights and what works for your union.

Then you’ll be pretty much ready to go to start talking with coworkers to try and get an organizing committee (10% of your workplace) which will be your main coworkers who should be all about the idea, after that 10% then you’ll start convincing everyone in your workplace and soon after that collect signatures.

Then you’ll go to an election, sadly I do not have much information to get beyond here as the movement fell apart in my workplace during signatures due to a weak organizing committee.

Hope this helps ya out and if you want any additional information I’m happy to share, we need more unions especially in IT!

I’ve asked the same thing to my organizer and it was basically telecom is the closest to it under the AFL-CIO umbrella, and i believe he said they may end up getting an IT specific union once enough get unionized.

Love that most of the world’s governments came together and said “collective punishment is bad, we should make it illegal during times of war” and shit like this can still fly within any first world country.

Why wouldn’t we? The PS5 is already 3* years old, most cycles are around 7 years

I’ve seen phone games look better

Imma say it, he’s kinda based, evades taxes and “illegally” owns guns, free my boy.

Glad I haven’t played a cod game in years.

There’s already a report button if someone has an issue with it let them report it, this is just going to lead to a ton of false positives or be completely useless.

I’m someone who studies history a lot.

Everything you said could be replaced with 1910-14 as the current year and you’d be pretty close to prevailing opinions of the day.

Wars need men. Well trained men ideally, but he who has the numbers usually wins.

In WW1 It took 3-6 months to churn through the professionals, in WW2 I don’t recall off hand but we’re looking at months. In Vietnam it did take 5 years yes, but that’s not the kind of war that Europe is or should be preparing for. In Ukraine it seems likely to be around 9 months, for Russia at least (unless you’re paratroopers then 3 days).

Outside of huge technological and leadership gaps you need the bigger army to win and that’s why conscription is the necessary evil.

You are by no means wrong. But outside of ancapistan types, I think everyone can say the governments job is to protect it’s citizens from would be invaders. With world tensions rising along with various other crisis’ it’s just the best move, being prepared for the worst and taking precautions.Trained vs untrained soldiers could be the difference between 500 casualties and 2500 (the infamous German school battalions of WW1 for example)

It’s one of the few actual necessary evils, unless your country is on the offensive of course.

To be fair, Austin has to be not far behind LA as some of the worst. Everything in Texas is made for cars only basically.

Don’t forget for trying to form a union too!

Subsidize/pay off entirely local farmers for this year based off of 2022 earnings, ship the grain through an inland route to the Mediterranean and get it to the third world countries that need it.

Farmers aren’t that large in number and don’t make a ton of profit, seems like it’s a bit expensive mostly in shipping but you could also be the politicians to prevent a humanitarian disaster not that far from your borders helping prevent another refugee crisis which much of Europe would riot over and could be the final boost needed for the already rising far right.

What a dogshit article.

Sure what sen. Blum. Said taken out of context is bad but the people he’s trying to get some support out of with his statement is the right wingers/capitalist types to be less anti us support in Ukraine.

Romney as always is indefensible.

From real Politik perspective they’re 100% right based off only the title.

From real life they’re correct that helping Ukraine helps the USA indirectly and even if somehow lives weren’t being lost to this war it would still help the military industrial complex greatly in ways that actually benefit the USA at least somewhat (we’re tossing out a bunch of outdated, expensive to maintain vehicles and getting up to date ones instead) and this is one of the rare times that the USA is doing something for a relatively good cause for once.

I get this is an anti war publication but be fucking real, war ain’t leaving anytime soon, every ideology, tribe, government type, and religion has and will again engage in it with very few exceptions. And those exceptions usually mean tiny island tribes where there’s no land to conquer/reclaim/defend

There’s plenty of 2010-2015ish cars with dogshit radios that are hard to find, expensive to get or literally impossible to find good replacements for, thanks to vehicle manufacturers killing of the DIN system.

All of those things are within the dedication to privacy. A lot of upfront time commitment but near effortless after the fact. On desktop it’s even easier.

Unless there’s something beyond switching DNS, using a VPN and your own router/modem. It’s maybe 100$ up front and ~3-5 per month to be able to circumvent any telecom.

Anyone celebrating this is a fool.

This will lead to more spying on you, gives police even more power, and offers you only less noise for how many cars?

Trees, greenery and better housing design might solve the issue or make it not bad.

Self reporting, followed by an inspection to verify the car’s sound could solve this issue.

But more surveillance for another ones of the world surveillance states is so fucking stupid.
