  1.  @rudrakshsinghkatal5609  The bottom 50% of India’s population represents just 13% of annual earnings. That’s according to an article from The Hindu. The World Bank, whose extreme poverty line is $1.9/day (144Rs) has calculated the extreme poverty rate in India today (2022) to be 10%. That’s according to Scroll (an Indian fact checking site). That amounts to around 140,000 million people living in EXTREME POVERTY. An accurate poverty rate of $3.2/day equates to 26.5% of population below the poverty rate without food transfers, or 18.1% with transfers. That’s over 365 million people below the international poverty line! That’s more than the population of all of the United States and Canada together! Oh and those numbers are adjusted for the cost of living in India. You’re not dealing with someone uneducated here.

  2.  @alchemist7412  That’s false. First off, the US hasn’t had a homeless problem for 250 years. Second, there is not a single place on earth without homeless people.

  4.  @conductingintomfoolery9163  As someone who put in years at 85 Broad (look it up), I know what wealth management is, but a “personal banker” you are not. You’re a corporate employee. A personal banker is an ancient profession of lending your own money back when lenders were mostly individuals and not large corporations. These people actually provided all banking services that existed back then, personally. What you do is EXACTLY what any retail bank does, but with larger assets and mostly for businesses. In fact, what you do is about as far from “personal banker” as one can get. Oh and by the way… Wharton grad here. 😉

  15.  @derp_wolf9688  False. All members are being discharged for failure to obey lawful orders, after an Art 15. All receive a less than honorable general discharge and coded for no re-enlistment. None are honorable and none are medical.

  17.  @derp_wolf9688  That’s false. You’re lying. The Navy hasn’t separated anyone for it just yet. They are supposed to start the process on Monday. Right now they have 7 permanent medical exemptions, 326 temporary medical exemptions, and 124 administrative exemptions. The USN is at 98% compliance. All those failing to follow orders will face a Captain’s Mast and a general discharge coded as “do not re-enlist” on the DD-214.

  21.  @JG-kb6dp  FALSE. Whole you still CAN get it, and you still CAN spread it, it happens a LOT less often and to a much lower degree. Crossing a street at an intersection on a green light, you still CAN be hit by a car, but we discourage people from jay walking because you’re far more likely to be hit by one that way. It’s the same with vaccines.

  26.  @jimba6486  You’re ignoring a basic FACT… the mRNA vaccines for coronaviruses were started when the first SARS virus cane out in 2002, then again when MERS came out in 2012. It’s a 20 year-old vaccine, not a 1 year.

  31.  @jamesreisenauer1778  And Germany has spent exactly 0 Euros on Ramstein AB. In fact, Germany earns BILLIONS of Euros each year in economic spending from that base. Also, Germany’s contingent in Afghanistan was tiny. Germany lost 59 soldiers. Its largest contingent at any one time was 5,350 soldiers, almost all of whom operated in the quiet and peaceful north of the country. Germany made a huge stink out if it because it still has stigma attached to military operations abroad from WW2, but objectively, Germany grossly underspends on defense because the US and Britain have been doing all of the protection for it since 1945. But seriously… how do you demolish all nuclear power stations, only to buy Russian natural gas to produce heat and electricity and think it won’t come back to you some day? What kind of GDR thinking is that?

  32.  @jamesreisenauer1778  First off, it doesn’t keep its members from integrating in the local community. Most airmen and other personnel assigned to Ramstein live in the towns around it. The products sold at the Base Exchange at Ramstein are very often local. The fuel and supplies are local. There are actually whole cities that have grown just on US service members being there. The mist famous one is Kaiserslautern in Rhineland-Palatinate. It’s a city if 100,000 native residents and about 45,000 NATO personnel, which contribute about $1 billion USD a year to the German economy. As per Afghanistan… I don’t even know where to start with you. You’re INCREDIBLY ignorant on the subject. The North of Afghanistan is the MOST friendly area to the US and the West in general out of the whole country. The North is held by Pashtun and Uzbek tribes that paired with the US to topple the Taliban. The Northern AOR (RC-N) was divided between Germany, Hungary, Norway, and Sweden to patrol because it had very friendly populations. The toughest areas were the East and Southeast, which were almost completely American responsibility, with assistance from France, Denmark, Australia and Georgia. Why do I know this? I spent an entire deployment in working C-17 operations out of Bagram AB and three years working out of Ramstein AB. Why was Germany there? That’s simple. The US invoked the NATO Article 5 after 9/11. This created the ISAF mission to eradicate Al Qaeda and Taliban that supported it. All of NATO was involved. The fact thar you don’t know this demonstrates just how ignorant you are about events of just 22 years ago (or thar you are a simple internet troll). The events at Chernobyl and Fukushima were great examples of mismanagement at power stations, but the safety record of the world’s nuclear power stations is incredible. There are 440 nuclear power reactors in the world, in 32 countries, plus Taiwan. They provide about 10% of the world’s electricity. If German plants were old, the solution to that is to build modern ones. Modern plants are small, clean, and incredibly safe. Instead, Germany chose the easy way out - buy fossil fuels from Russia. Germany wants to LOOK like they’re using clean energy, but in reality simply increased their fossil fuel expenditures. Fossil fuel pollution has NOT increased in Russia or in the US. In fact, it has decreased, as both have switched to cleaner coal, natural gas and renewable energy production, including wind and solar. Russia was never a large CO2 producer. It relies mostly on hydro power for electricity. Most of its coal and oil were, and are, for export.

  33.  @jamesreisenauer1778  Again, your ignorance is on full display! Americans are only stationed there for 2-3 years. They’re not considered legal German residents while they are. They have no rights to attend school or college in Germany. At the same time, if their kids did go to a German school, they’s miss out on their American curriculum and a diploma (possibly) for having finished school. The local volunteer fire department cannot take non-German residents. The same goes for Afghanistan. ISAF was the NATO HQ joint command structure organization. “Enduring Freedom” was the name of the American operation in Afghanistan. The latter spanned the ENTIRE time Americans were in AFG. The former covered the entire time a joint command structure was in place, which started in late 2001 and ended in 2014. ISAF was first deployed on the basis of a request for assistance by the Afghan authorities and a United Nations (UN) Security Council mandate, which authorised the establishment of the force to assist the Afghan government in the maintenance of security in Kabul and its surrounding areas. NATO took the lead of that in 2003. Resolute Support took over for ISAF starting in 2015. Despite that, Germany went to Afghanistan in 2001, BEFORE the establishment of ISAF. My father-in-law builds nuclear power plants. Actually, he inspects their building. It takes about 5 years in the US. They are modular and small. What France is doing is building old-school large plants of the past and it takes them so long because they stop work to protest every other month. No, nuclear power is not a danger to Germany. German ego is.

  34.  @jamesreisenauer1778  You’re confusing yourself. American soldiers CANNOT have dual citizenship because they aren’t immigrants, have no ties to Germany, nor intend to live there permanently. They are on the same level as tourists, with a different visa. They have no right to work in Germany either. It has NOTHING to do with dual citizenship at all! Americans can only work on the American base because they cannot be employed in the EU! It’s the same on ALL military bases around the world. With Afghanistan, OEF came BEFORE ISAF, and was triggered by Article 5. That’s why Germans were in Afghanistan. You said they were not. ISAF ran concurrently with OEF as OEF is the name of the operation in the US ONLY and ISAF was not the name of an operation. ISAF was an organizational body, much like NATO. It was a joint command. There is a TON of space to build nuclear power plants in Germany. Now you’re just being an internet troll. Germany’s population density is 240/km2 and France’s is 119. Not that different. Furthermore, it’s very centered around large cities. Rural areas have tons of space and Germany has lots of rivers to use for cooling too.

  35.  @jamesreisenauer1778  No, civilian employees cannot either. Nor family members or any other civilians tied to the base. You’re CLUELESS on German laws. American military members and their spouses are NOT eligible for resident permits. It’s also why they cannot get German ID cards or driver’s licenses. They are NOT permanent residents and by German law do not get those services (or any other). What does a factory in a Berlin suburb have to do with this?! STOP TROLLING!
