TIL the US Military operates a massive non-profit "socialist" grocery chain called the Commissary. It is taxpayer-subsidized and sells goods at cost

Its not just the commissary. The entire way the military works is functional communism. Housing is assigned by rank, is available to anyone currently in contract, as well as healthcare and obviously, work. Pay is rated by rank and not by position, a Physician assistant gets the same rank pay as a Lt working command staff in any other unit. There is no capitalism in the DoD at all not even under their procurement systems.

America Is Watching the Rise of a Dual State | For most people, the courts will continue to operate as usual—until they don’t.

Rise of a dual state? Ive been alive a fairly long time, there has always been a dual/tri law system. We have always known that there is a group of people that the law does not work on. We certainly have our own idioms and cultural awareness of that fact. There were some riots a couple years ago about how fucked the justice/legal system is and now there is talk about pardoning Chauvin.

I used to get ten of these botifications per appointment. Annoying, yes, but the phone calls on top of the text messages were the cherry on top. VA spends a lot of time making sure people remember their appointments. Btw: i accidentally misspelled notifications and Im leaving it. Coined it.
