I understand your point, but I think you've got the Decade wrong. 2024 was our 1968, when the hippies and people who cared about social justice began to write off areas of the country they didn't care about and retreated to safe spaces like Austin and San Fransisco and LA, and a recent period of chaos ushered in a long,dark period of moral and sociocultural decline. 

But on the bright side, I was born during that "long dark period of moral and sociocultural decline."

And I caution you - correlation does NOT equal causation.  But then again....it also doesn't DISPROVE causation.  So, there's that.

I disagree. It's been largely peaceful up until now. We are at the beginnings of a large scale conservative push. Those are always followed by social revolt. Once Project 2025 starts hitting people are going to draw the line in the sand. We've not had large scale social change in our lifetime. Basically our entire lives have been spent with conservatives trying to roll back protections for marginalized groups.

There's like 5 threads. This is the thread where Trump policies result in intended consequences and it goes poorly. 

Stop using this thread for random discussion. Also this thread shouldn't even be busy until after January.

Both of these can be true:

2) If you put "your body, my choice" into the world, you absolutely deserve everything that comes your way.

The Senate being asked to stand down from their constitutional role of affirming appointment of government officials just like the Supreme Court was ordered to tilt the wheels of justice in favor of an autocratic fascist. Nothing to see there. 

And by the way that's not the meaning of "recess appointments."

my niece is terrified. ive been talking her down all week... but then she had a run-in on campus with some jabronis (only verbal, but basically the same 'your body, my choice!' bs...gotdamn i wish i'd been there 😡).

i tried to get her to 'they're just stupid boys' but she's literally feeling terrorized, which i guess she is, and that seems to be the point. so...i went ahead and suggested she get a gun. she's shot out at my dad's many times, she's pretty comfortable handling a firearm, and a small pistol is all she needs. in fact...i suggested she carry lol (would have to be conceal carry on campus, i assume). i mean at this point i'm all for whatever it takes for her to feel safer until she can gtfo out of Texas. 

like i said...i now accept that we are who the world thinks we are. unlike an apparently huge chunk of this country, i am capable of taking in new data, letting my amygdala kick it around a bit, and then changing my position. @fattyflattie would be proud 😜...murder dildos for everyone!

 

i mean...fuck it.

 

Advising your niece, who you you’ve’e suggested is suicidal, to buy a gun is something else.

Yep. You might be onto something there. I think that might qualify as norms being thrown out the window.

@Guadaloopy

I 100% agree with you both. I also am very familiar to the VA system. To me, VA benefits should be given to all who served without means testing. We WANT to care for our vets because they cared for us.

I used to be a great example of a unified health care system. That was back in the 1980s. The erosion begin in 1990s when we thought that one of the spoils of winning to Cold War was going to be no more wars so smaller military. Yeah, right.

The VA has been in a death spiral since. Unable to hire because poor pay so vets don't come so smaller visit numbers justifying further cuts in services. This splashed onto the scene in 2013 and 2014 with tragic deaths due to delayed care. And the response with the Veterans Choice program which pumped more money into the program initially but also allowed veterans benefits to be used at non-VA facilities. John McCain spearheaded the Choice program as a stopgap, but because our politics is broken, it was obvious that this would accelerate the demise of the VA.

Trump made it easier to go outside the VA for care in 2017, and his administration is going to kill the VA, which is bad. Veterans have special needs, and the VA had served those needs well. Another terrible decision for those who voted for the "face-eating leopards party" (FELP).

I’m the guy Guadaloopy is talking about.  I shattered my ankle playing tackle football on the weekend with guys from my unit. This was in Savannah at hunter AAF. On the weekends the ER there is pretty much two EMTs and an ambulance.  Dude unlaced my cleat and pulled it off (yea, super regard), it was like watching a marshmallow in a microwave.  He says yep, that’s fucked, but orthopedics at Fort Stewart doesn’t open until Monday. Sends me home in a splint with 800mg Motrin to suffer for another day and a half.
 

X ray at ortho confirms it’s broke broke. It was a twisting injury, my cleat got planted with a guy wrapped around my leg while two other dudes spun me like a top. The ortho doc wanted to do surgery, but he got overruled by the department head. They put me in a cast and sent me home. After 3 weeks I had to get a new cast because of the swelling reduction. My leg was rattling around in the cast. I spent 2 months total in a cast then another month in a boot. I was never given any physical therapy other than a handout for stuff to do at home. 
 

Needless to say my leg was never the same. My running gait was all fucked up because my ankle didnt work right. That led to a lot of knee pain, which led to more ranger candy. I left the service and didn’t claim anything for disability. Fast forward 10 years of rolled ankles and problems and I finally have a civilian doc look at things. He says the army docs were idiots for not addressing any of the ankle stability, and recommends reconstruction.  At that point my ankle would roll stepping wrong on a carpet transition. I agreed, so in 2011 I had a modified brostrum procedure to shorten the loose ligaments and give me a functional ankle. 
 

My wife and friends convinced me at that point to apply for benefits. I had felt like Guadaloopy that my injury wasn’t service related and I genuinely felt like it was disrespectful to guys that got real combat injuries. What changed was the immense anger at how shitty the service treated my injury that led to a lifetime of pain. In July of this year I had to have a bone spur removed that was growing through my Achilles. My (VA) surgeon said that it’s a common side effect to the ankle reconstruction I had done. Almost 25 years later and I’m still dealing with problems stemming from that decision not to fix things the first time.
 

This was my first procedure by the VA. My surgeon was a private practice guy from Seattle that came to the VA to get more surgeries under his belt. I feel lucky in that regard. I’ve dealt with the bad side of the VA (almost 2 month wait to get an MRI, a year and a half wait to get an ENT consult), but I have to say the physical therapy outfit at the VA is amazing. There’s a lot of underfunded stuff at the VA, but PT isn’t one of them. It’s really not something you could privatize easily.  The civilian world just doesn’t see the injuries that the VA does, and the few that do definitely don’t see them in that volume.  Losing access to that kind of care is just going to drive up an already horrific suicide rate, because guys are going to suffer.

Well apparently message board admins like @immamac disabled the link to CR and its equivalents for these shitheads until the election was over.  That's the most likely explanation for why you never saw them for the last four years, right?  I begrudgingly give @Incredulity some credit on this one.  He wasn't here non stop, but he did post his bullshit takes often enough that you could say he wasn't dodging the place.
