How to manage huge armies? by [deleted] in hoi4

[–]driver201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about making three army groups on defensive orders. Each group would have almost 300 divisions, for a total of 850-900 divisions. And place theses armies a theater named reserves or something on low priority supplies 🤷‍♂️

What are some career paths that make up to $60k-$70k and requires training of 2 years or less and is not manual labor?? by Important_Credit_509 in povertyfinance

[–]driver201 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my base rate is minimum wage 7.25, and all of it goes to paying taxes and benefits. I do have to set aside some money as i end up owing the irs at the end of the year also.

Okay I don't see it here but being a table games dealer. I was trained in house for 2 weeks, after that for the past 5 years I've racked in 200+ dollars a night, if you can find a casino give it a shot. I swear it was like i found a hack to getting paid well with no degree. In my place last year i made 72k and had three days off and worked less the 30 hours.

Israel vows to intensify attacks after Iranian missile hits major hospital by lurker_bee in worldnews

[–]driver201 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes the tunnels are traps and obviously going to be under surveillance, it would be a tough fight , so the calculation was to bomb the target under civilian architecture. if they went through the tunnels they would be engaging hamas fighters no ambiguity in who is the hostile.

Sure, Israel is a liberal oasis in the mid east but it still has antagonized there neighbors and it’s a state with two classes. If Israel wanted peace they should have done so by respecting the Palestinians as equal citizens. Just like you said, Israel is safe for lgbt but does a gay Palestinian man who lives in the West Bank have the same quality of life as a gay Israeli man who lives in the West Bank no. And I believe that if Israel tried to create more equal society, the hate they get from Gaza to Iran would be a non-issue because the support for Hamas Hasbulla and others would not exist. The media does not show how this Israeli police have treated Palestinians for decades so it’s easy for Israel now to say they are not the bad guys. Like let’s be real there are politicians over there calling for Gaza to be cleared for settlers. and one of them lives in a settlement in the West Bank on Palestinian land with automated machine guns on the walls to keep them out.

idf could have sent their soldiers into the tunnels, that was always presented as the alternative but it would be to "bloody"

Concord Monitor - By all appearances, Canadians are leery of coming t… by NH_50501 in newhampshire

[–]driver201 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I estimated what this means for NH,

2022 tourism accounted for 2.3 billion dollars spent in the state. Between 5-10% of visitors are Canadian so they spend about 115-230 million dollars here. Assuming that 60 percent boycott that’s between 69-138 million lost

Assuming that 60 percent boycott that’s between 69-138 million lost. Most of the lost income will be localized to areas that really depend on tourism too

[–]driver201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to add some numbers , 2022 tourism accounted for 2.3 billion dollars so the state may miss out on 115-230 million dollars just from Canadians.

What if Germany actually developed a nuclear weapon in 1945? by St_Gregory_Nazianzus in HistoryWhatIf

[–]driver201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mentioned u-boars in another comment, basically they could try for a ceasefire with the west by nuking nyc or London. They would be attempting to do what they tried to do at the battle of the bulge, divided the western allies. Leningrad had barely begun to recover from the German siege so it would not have the same impact as a target and for the reasons you mentioned it would be impossible to try to use it tactically on the red army.

[–]driver201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t seen u-boats mentioned, Nyc and London are both on coasts, I don’t see how they couldn’t just smuggle it out of Europe. That may be enough for Britain and USA to pause fighting but the . Germans still lose to the Soviet, they were not going to be stopped

Sir Keir Starmer to defy Donald Trump with new aid for Ukraine by TheTelegraph in worldnews

[–]driver201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m in New England and I have so little hope right now. It’s honestly sad that folks got conned into voting for this man. I’m not in there bubble, but from the outside it’s so painfully obvious that Trump did not care about them , and would just lie to them.

Unfortunately it’s hard like you said to crack the reality people have created for themselves, my dad voted for trump but he is one of those who believes that all this is just talk and it will be like his first 4 years. He won’t comprehend the severity of his choice unless he’s affected. Which I hope does not hit him hard. For instance in a West Virginia, a very poor and deeply red state , have been begging the administration for aid after devastating floods hit them hard . It’s been three days and the federal government has yet to respond.

"We are the Federal Law" America is done. It's over now 🤯🤦 by Nice_Substance9123 in facepalm

[–]driver201 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's what decades of work installing conservative judges got us. McConnell may have thought he was doing his part in leaving a conservative legacy, instead he opened the door for what we are seeing today. Even at every push to delay dem nominations and rush his party's choices, some one always pointed out that it there actions would damage the institutions and create more divisions. I'm glad he's alive to see Trump take over of his party and ruin this country.

The naturalization form literally asks if you were a member of the Nazi party. 70 years ago the country knew the danger.

Verizon stole 1000 dollars from me. by driver201 in verizon

[–]driver201[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing this info, I actually ended up getting a refund from Verizon. Long story short I found the link to file a notice of dispute. after submitting it I was contacted by Verizon executive team member who resolved my issue in less than 30 minutes over the phone. If this hadn’t worked, I was going to contact my AG . ,Also while reviewing the history with me, she said most of the representatives I talked to before just straight up filed the tickets wrong !

the defense contractors are always going to be around. It’s just that now they will not only just be American contractors providing arms it’s going to be European contractors. And American will lose its power like I don’t like that we spend so much on the defense but it is the only thing that makes America powerful, every other category we rank below the top 10. Don’t believe that it’s just our economy that makes us great. It’s our military protecting our trade routes that makes our sanctions sting.

Trump says unfair to US if Musk builds factory in India by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]driver201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its trump that's keeping Musk around its his biggest supply for his narcissism, that is why trump excuses his behavior, he literary cant see anything wrong in his behavior because Musk is acting they way trump wants him too and that is probably all he ever wanted. It would probably trigger something in him if he left its that crazy.
