I was thinking about your comment of people like Musk and Trump looking in the window and wishing for “respect” that they believe they deserve. Never realizing that “respect” is a side effect of character, and choosing not to develop good character forever bans them from respect.

One can observe that Ukraine has begun taking out more artillery systems. It seems that "something changed" and as a curious person I've been analyzing various sources and trying to puzzle it out. One thing that changed is the US is now sending Switchblade-600's. 1/n

Agreed it is thought-provoking but it overlooks the real issue. If criminals are *not* prosecuted (political or not) then everyone loses faith in the rule of law and our democracy becomes weaker. One school of thought is that public servants should be PREFERENTIALLY prosecuted.

“everyone had a negative antigen test OR had a booster shot.” — this suggests that not everyone was vaccinated. I really dislike when reports like this don’t break out the population by “unvaccinated”, “one shot vaccinated”, “two mRNA shot vaccinated”, “vaccinated + boosted.”

The nuance is perhaps that the "work in front of a computer" as data entry / process execution (say car rental agent) vs data analysis and algorithm design (programmer / analyst). The former goes away and the latter gets more complex/specialized.

A more interesting thing, to me, about the FV432 is that it can "swim" at 6km/h according to wikipedia. Carries 10 troops. So 100 of these could drop 1000 troops on the other side of a water hazard, which seems useful.
