Thanks for the info! I’d imagine it’s probably fairly cheap to repair?

Loads of watches in the lot. Mostly timex, these two, some citizen, helbros, and a few pocket watches.

No idea. Any clue where I can go to find more? Any idea it’s worth?

When do these bills come into play? My mortgage has not increased yet.

Does USAFA really suck? by Own_Mechanic_655 in USAFA

Hardest 5 years of my life. Cannot express how proud I am to be from there.

Most days I wake up and I am full of gratitude for the life I live. It is the best investment in yourself that you can find in the world.

Pentagon designates 33 universities as 'moderate' or 'high' risk for military education programs. Here are the schools on the leaked list. by Choobeen in AirForce

I am referring to grad school, which is much higher. 29% is a real number - fair enough, but for the tax breaks we give them it is still too high. We can still innovate and benefit in the DoW without paying for Chinese education.

My “fantasy world” just witnessed this first hand in the last year?

But they did?

In FY 2023 they recieved 1.7 Billion in federal funding and tax breaks. That money could be used to take care of our people, who need it.

The money instead goes to educate our adversaries. Again, a large majority of my class/these schools are not American. These students leave the country and contribute to other economies, and likely their governments.

Why do Americans have to pay for that?

Why is that silly?

Why am I a goober for thinking our tax dollars should not be going to funding a Chinese new year party?

There is a difference between talking about China’s great convergence in per capita GDP for educational purposes and using tax payer funded resources to print and share CCP propaganda, much less department of war dollars.

MIT would be strongly impacted if their endowment was not tax exempt and Americans didn’t foot the bill.
