Not every problem is ours to solve. And even if we wanted to still be the world’s policeman, our debt makes doing so impossible, unless those wanting us to do so are willing to pay us well for our help.
I agree. And don’t take any checks or credit cards… oil, silver or gold only. I’m not sure if we have that much gold (where’s that audit?). Whatever gold we get paid with is probably ours anyway that the demoncrats gave away.
And there are a considerable number of self-defined “enlightened elite’ ” who would like nothing better. Namely the ones paying for the Rent-A-Mobs for the last decade or so.
When hyperinflation reduces the buying power of what you have by more than 90% that makes most of the owrld population, including in the US, broke. A billionare is still going to be rich, even if not a “billionare”. And that’s not accounting that those super-wealthy have their wealth in things that hyperinflation won’t turn to dust. Farmland, for one example.
And for a goverment deep in debt? When you need $100,000 in a wheelbarrow to buy a loaf of bread that makes it a lot easier for the goverment to pay off $37,000,000,000 in debt, just 370,000 loaves of bread.
This is why no matter what the movies show, you never take your oxygen mask off…unless you’re in a pressurized plane like a cargo jet or a…..bomber…where masks are readily available but seldom worn.
True to a point, fighters are pressurized, yes, but not to the extent that you can take your O2 mask off and wander around in shirtsleeves like an airliner and with the cockpit so small, you keep your mask on and your visor down on at all times in case there’s a sudden depressurization or other malfunction…like a birdstrike…or an enemy fighter shooting holes in the canopy. Bombers and cargo planes take longr, a lot longer, to depressurize…which is why you see Hercs flying with the ramp down and/or sliding windows on the flight deck, but you don’t see F-16’s flying with a window open. Forget anything ever put in a movie, you won’t get sucked out through a broken cabin window, the most pressure differential would be on the order of maybe 10-12 psi, with a wide open field at sea level being around 15psi…but, hypoxia affects people differently, some are incapacitated almost immediately, others can go for some time before gradually losing effectiveness then consciousness. When I took my High Altitude Indoctrination course, the last part was herding us all into a smaller chamber attached to the main one then a sudden depressurization, I found out that I’m in the percentage that functions normally for a fairly long time, right up until I pass out instantly with no prior ‘grogginess’. Luckily, I never had to put that to a test inflight.

Time to remind them… Cash, grass or ass, nobody rides for free.

What happens if the US Dollar becomes the same as the bolivar and lira and pengoe?
We become Weimar Germany on a continental scale.

Fighters are pressurized too.

DFAC meatloaf is da bomb… LOL
Nothing can compete with Beans & Muthaf***ers MREs. And you need a backhoe to bury the results.
A weeks worth of any military ration I ever had will lock you up for days afterward and then the MOAB hits.
Hey! I had some awesome meatloaf in DFacs!
It was a lot easier to avoid foreign entanglements a couple of centuries ago when it took weeks to get a small ship across the ocean.
DFAC meatloaf. It’s good for making a turd, that has to be flushed out by three-day old coffee that’s been left on the burner. Boom!
