Yes. You start by subverting the military.

WHY???? This is insane!

I would have thought that was obvious - because they don’t care. Trump made himself clear - he doesn’t care at all about people living in “shithole countries”. Remember?

And a reminder of what you will sacrifice if you do. The entire stadium should take a knee.

Please explain this to me, @npr.org - do the private foundations limit the overhead amount in their grants because they can count on the government to cover the bulk of it?

It will be, since you have to have a subscription to see it.

This is not a cure-all, but i think it would be a start. What do you think, @altnps.bsky.social ?

That labor would have entered adulthood - not stalled out in apathy, indecision or lack or opportunity. Every child would know there was a place for them - and that they can choose (within reason) a path. In addition, colleges would have a much lower dropout rate because of the maturity gained.

In addition, the young people would be exposed to a HUGE variety of career options - not just the factory in their town or whatever their parents did. After two years they may or may not be offered the opportunity to continue. If not, the employers of America receive trained, skilled labor.

This would require Americans of EVERY ethnicity, world view, and social and economic background to interact and work as a team, not to mention forcing them outside their isolationist bubble. No sitting in your room playing video games - you get to learn Python and use that knowledge in the Navy.

The remaining 1.3MM would enter public service that directly serves US goals here and abroad, prioritizing the functions of the federal government, whose current workforce of three million is rapidly aging and needs an influx of young people who are trained to SERVE (unlike the MUSK predators).

The armed forces would immediately see a massive increase in personnel that could be trained for every position from “the tip to the tail”, dramatically enabling readiness in this dangerous world (and deranged presidency).

Here is my logic: in 2023 18 year olds comprise just over 1.2% of the total US population, currently just under 335 MM. assuming 0.2% would be excluded under the above criteria, that leaves 1% of the population, or 3.3 MM people. Lets assume 2 MM enter the armed forces in some capacity.

Obviously there would be exceptions for people who are very sick or severely physically or mentally disabled. But no one can buy their way out or have BS exceptions like “heel spurs”. If you are reasonably healthy you serve - period.

And the raving misogyny on display by the trapped animal that is his “wife” ( i mean hostage).

Sounds like maybe this is the solution. Except the animals, etc don’t actually deserve to die.
