he's actually proud of that spread.

 

 

Still can't imagine winning everything and that is the reward at supposedly one of the highest honors in the free world.  The understanding coming away from that would have to be that cheapos went cheap on their congrats party.  There's a WH chef and they provided something that any Joe can get anywhere, anytime.

Not to mention that he had a nice hotel just down the street that could’ve catered an event during his government shutdown. But no, he went with fast food. Twice.

fortunately the OP said he’s never having kids as a way to cope. That’s good for all of us. Right?

If you would refrain from bearing children then that would do a world of good.

Stopped and closed like 20 seconds in, when he READ, "eight point one billion Muslims in the world"

Yeah, it's 1.8 billion not 8.1. I'm sure the guy who speaks Arabic & has been a journalist for most of his life realizes there aren't 8.1 billion Muslims in the world. What exactly do you disagree with him on?

Maybe a silver lining of across the board institutional failure is that our military is becoming more and more hollowed out.

Quote

“This is the start of a long drought for military recruiting,” said Ret. Lt. Gen. Thomas Spoehr of the Heritage Foundation, a think tank. He said the military has not had such a hard time signing recruits since 1973, the year the U.S. left Vietnam and the draft officially ended. Spoehr said he does not believe a revival of the draft is imminent, but “2022 is the year we question the sustainability of the all-volunteer force.”

The pool of those eligible to join the military continues to shrink, with more young men and women than ever disqualified for obesity, drug use or criminal records. Last month, Army Chief of Staff Gen. James McConville testified before Congress that only 23% of Americans ages 17-24 are qualified to serve without a waiver to join, down from 29% in recent years.

An internal Defense Department survey obtained by NBC News found that only 9% of those young Americans eligible to serve in the military had any inclination to do so, the lowest number since 2007.

It's almost like young people feel completely disenfranchised from the American system and that it doesn't benefit them at all. Odd.

And it's almost like it's getting an assist from the poorest of Americans who typically have access to the worst, unhealthiest foods, for most of their lives. Man, the poor used to be the backbone of military service, a jobs programs to legit improve their life station. It's almost like one party hates the fucking poor, wants to keep them there, and don't give a fuck about the cognitive dissonance required to also want a healthy, volunteer only armed forces. Huh.

Six Texas oil refineries spewing cancer-causing pollutant above federal threshold

The Texas refinery that reported the highest concentrations of the hazardous pollutant at its fence line was Total Port Arthur Refinery in Port Arthur, with levels 148% greater than limit, according to the report.

The other Texas refineries that reported benzene levels above the federal action limit are:

  • Pasadena Refining (100% above the limit)
  • Flint Hills Resources Corpus Christi East (79% above limit)
  • Valero Corpus Christi East (44% above limit)
  • Shell Deer Park (23% above limit)
  • Marathon Galveston Bay Texas City (11% above limit)

 

Benzene, a highly flammable gas with a sweet odor, has been classified as a known human carcinogen by EPA "for all routes of exposure," according to the agency. Short-term exposure to the chemical may cause drowsiness, dizziness and headaches, as well eye, skin and respiratory irritation and even unconsciousness. Long-term exposure among workers has been linked to increased incidence of leukemia and blood disorders. Women who have inhaled benzene at high levels have reported adverse impacts to their reproductive systems, and adverse impacts to fetal development have been observed in animal testing.
