Which Millennials? It's hard to take that sentiment seriously when children and home ownership are out of reach luxuries for a significant portion of the generation which was not the case following the post-WWII economy, as evidenced b

There are quite a few democratic socialists running on that platform across the country.

Every day is an endless stream of media and commentary on the illegal things he's doing with no accountability. Even in the highly unlikely event of an impeachment conviction, I don't see how that changes anything from a practical

Perhaps that's where we would disagree. I don't think congress has the means to claw anything back at this point or in the future. We're essentially well into a self-coup

In the context of the current admin: - They have impeached already, multiple times. - Congress has no means of enforcing any laws they pass aside from trying to withhold funding. - Hearings are political circus at best with no real conseque

The only power congress theoretically has to impact the administration is that of the purse. But the admin has repeatedly ignored such restrictions. This check on power also loses it's teeth when the oligarchs align themselves behind t

Not great. There's so much competition for so few entry-level positions.

The after action report was only recently declassified. This war game has been pretty widely publicized. Especially after the retired marine general that ran the OPFOR complained about it being rigged.

There's also a higher chance that wealthy perpetrators of sexual violence are under-represented in data. There's no denying the relationship between the 'justice' system and the wealthy. Case in point: Judge Persky in th

That 30% have also been in a decades long information silo that has convinced them that anyone marginally to the left of them is either mentally ill or demons. I grew up with Michael Savage on the radio.

In theory yes. In practice, the working class is competing with corporations that are flooding the political arena with billions. This was already a daunting challenge to deal with even before the oligarchy went mask off across all branches

Is this what they meant by a return to normalcy?

Unfortunately, until something big happens in the US, autonomous vehicles will be more accessible to working class americans than good and reliable mass transit, especially outside of major population centers.

That's the entire point. The only federally regulated part that requires a background check is the receiver, which can be made on entry level printers by virtually anyone that can read.

At this point with a 5,000 round endurance for a plastic AK receiver, I think it's fair to say the 'project' has reached maturity. Especially when this is all completed on entry level printers

Even so that's very strange way for a trespassing charge to be carried out if that's how it went down. Typically when someone refuses to leave, police inform the person that they are being formally trespassed, at which point they

The FGC-9 was used extensively in Myanmar for that exact purpose. The rebels would set up ambushes with FGC-9's and recover better firearms for future use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FGC-9#Users_and_use

I mention 7.62 specifically because most folks not familiar with 3D printed firearms are unaware that such a thing is even possible. 9mm 3DP guns have hit the news cycle repeatedly, less so for higher power cartridges. IIRC, there's a
