I hear you man, I'm starting to push back on digitally downloading stuff and opting for the hard copy for like video games (go gamestop). Streaming is cool, but subscriptions are a bit inflated. Everything is 9.99 a month. I feel like some are worth like .99 cents a month max so I feel priced out of many things that I might otherwise be inclined to actually subscribe. Or perhaps we are all just really feeling how bad the current wealth inequality actually is.

I'm a veteran, no combat service. I was in during President Obama so somewhat recent. I'm past any contract so I can't get called up. Speaking from some experience though your average enlisted person most likely does not want to deploy or help in LA. They are likely removed about how dumb it is. There might be some who won't, but you won't hear about it, they'll just process them out under "other than honorable" conditions, which maybe is not the worst option given the current admin. To me its a scenario where you would not refuse orders, even though they are dumb and unconstitutional. It would have been hard for me to refuse the current order too, I would be removed the entire time, I know thats not taking a stand. I would do the bare minimum, which is kinda what I expect to happen, extreme low effort but we'll see. Most comments on the post aren't wrong, just wanted to point out a general reluctance I do not know what it would take to refuse an order.

I don't know if we are smarter, but I'd most of are here because we don't want to put up with some companies antics. So we seem to be a group that left on a matter of principles, I can get on board with that.

I'm confused Rule

I really doubt they would let him be an atm tech though. Who made that hiring call, he is probably now explaining to his buddy that he now discretely steals small amounts from the atms under the guise of a job
