If you want to look at proper Capitalism (which is what you are insinuating), like really, proper, by the book, unregulated and all, the nonsense that sheltered boy Shapiro preaches - look at any third world African country. And for real, accurate communism - North Korea. These are the theoretical extremes.
There is this are in between, called being a human, I am all for people making copious amounts of money unhindered and being enabled to do so, I mean, I loooove money… Certain things, like a safety net and free healthcare should be a part of that system, in fact they facilitate the ‘making money’ bit. Because when you don’t have it, the ‘poors’ get together and start taking things from the rich, which creates corruption and eventually a revolution (Tzar’s Russia being one example, France being another). BLM movement being the most recent one. It’s a balancing act for a prosperous and productive society. Anything else and it becomes a shit hole.
The whole health insurance, seems to be a wrought to me. No amount of it will save you from cancer. There also seems to be a serious communication breakdown when palliative care people can diagnose better than doctors…
I just bought another Ute.
Sick of not being able to get up the driveway at the farm or having to rip it up when it’s wet anyway.
Just picked up a 94 Mazda b2600 4x4 tray.
Fuck you driveway I’m finishing my slab before winter.
I understand what you’re saying but that is what community spirit is. Being of a capitalist bent doesn’t mean you sit there saying fuck everyone else. If you see someone that needs a hand you help. I would rather give out personal charity than the gov taking my money and saying the charity came from them and only doing half assed effort. I grew up in a small rural town and can see what a community can do without the red tape factory getting involved.
Basically we want the same thing but I want it direct from the individual, you want it passed through the government.
Yeah, I split it into two. Three even. The community spirit, etc. - I don’t think that will ever work at scale. I don’t think that will ever work in general too. A ‘small’ community does not have enough cash to fund a heart surgery. It’s a fairy tale. Then, yes, I want it free. And lastly - yes, I am ignoring the question of where is that free money going to be coming from. I am looking at it individually. Last one, I haven’t thought about, but adding KPI to government employees would surely solve that issue.
Once upon a time, there was a place where you could carry a firearm on the train to school. There was also a place where if a person was so sick that they needed surgery but could not afford it, the doctor(s) would simply stay back late and do it.
What changed so much that these two realised ideals could never exist again in the leading first world countries they originally manifested in?
Winter and a blown head gasket…
If you want to improve it a touch I have a pair of Raider headlights - they are a straight swap into the couriers, maybe the B series too. H4 bulbs and a much better light pattern.
Not quite a bolt in Aussie Ford Raider headlight conversion.. - Wiki - Street Source I have the plastic mounts too.
I wonder the pilots view is like. Is it just co-ordinates that the lasers location is converted into, or is he actually seeing the laser in real time through an IR camera, does it go to his HUD etcc…?
Would really suck to be on the other side.
Pretty sure the missile locks onto it & does all the work, the pilot doesn’t do shit other than to get the missile into the area and let it go while trying not to crash his bird.
I should’ve watched the video first instead of just reading the headline, I thought we were talking missiles lol.
Yep what GF said they are just marking it for them to hit the light.
It looks like an AC-130 gunship doing the damage, otherwise known as the finger of god lol
