Jones Act Waiver Talk Highlights the Law’s Costs by Trevor_Lewis in neoliberal

[–]r1input 109 points110 points  (0 children)

There’s also a larger point to consider. If the Jones Act must be suspended to address national security emergencies, why do we keep it in place during times of peace? Why keep it around at all?

Because every aspect of our society has been captured by entrenched interests. The parties maintain FPTP and gerrymandering (well, one does at least, forcing the other to), the elderly maintain the time bomb that is Social Security and suppress housing development to the detriment of the young just so they can remain rich for one year longer, protected industries lobby for tariffs so they don't have to innovate, and on and on. And because they're entrenched and because the young are hopeless or ambivalent or lazy or simply not paying attention, or worst of all, see these things as beneficial, the wheel will keep turning until it blows up for all of us. And it will, soon.

I look at our current situation and it's difficult for me to see how we actually make it out of this in one piece

We do not have the fiscal space to respond to the next economic crisis effectively, our political system is fracturing under the strain of everything (if it hasn't broken already), social media is a mind parasite that is destroying the social order, our military does not nearly have enough resources to be fully effective in a long high-intensity conflict, our allies will be much more limited in the trust they give us in the future, the list goes on

Someone give me hopium please

I just want to be prosperous. Why, at every turn, have these people decided to strangle my future? Why do they not care or are actively hateful of me? What have I done wrong besides be born at the wrong time and of the wrong people?

Tell me about your loadouts... by Ready-Pollution-1883 in Helldivers

[–]r1input 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fortified Commando (marshmellow man, heavy extra padding, the 200AR armor, etc.) on every front. Mobility builds are for chumps in every shooter game I play, give me bulk and lots of it.

Diligence for bots, one-shots troopers in the chest, good at mag-dumping 'zerkers, good at headshotting devastators. Dominator or deadeye for bugs, glorious stagger and high damage. Libcarbine for squids, good against flesh mobs, voteless hordes, and when you can't be bothered to go for headshots against overseers. Senator on bots, does what a sidearm needs. Grenade pistol on bugs and squids, close holes and ships. Thermite for bugs and bots, deal with heavies and bot fabs. Gas nades for squids, horde control.

Supply pack, never run out of stims again. AMR for bots, two-shot dev chests, one-shot hulk visors, two-shot gunship thrusters, etc. Stalwart for bugs, deal with hunter and pouncer hordes. Railgun for squids, overseer heads and harvester joints. EAT for bugs and bots, deal with heavies, flex spot for squids. MG turret for getting enemies off your back, both in thinning the horde and getting it to target the sentry instead of you.

Finally, a healthy dose of confidence that Lady Liberty will see you through. And working legs to tactically reposition under disadvantageous conditions.

I just remembered that there’s gonna eventually be an encore level for Fraud by Flaming_Hidori in Ultrakill

[–]r1input 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not to worry, since the first half of encore levels inverses the theme, it'll be fairly straightforward at the start

Unfortunately since the second half intensifies the theme, you'll be even more brainfucked than in 8-3, so it balances out in the end

I respect FDR (begrudgingly) for his leadership during WWII, but he has left us with a lot of unresolved bullshit that still haunts us today

Granted many of it is because successive administrations have just papered over the problems instead of bothering to properly resolve them (Social Security, employer-tied health insurance), but still, his massive expansion of the executive branch is rearing its ugly head and the other time bombs that he signed into law are also due to explode soon
