Colonialism was great for all of us! It was just a major bummer for emerging countries.
The accounting systems used in DoD today (BQ & CRIS being 2 of the biguns) were not designed to do what you're asking it to do. And they were definitely not designed to comply with gaap. In that sense, you're right and the expenditures will never balance to a purchase. Esp when you consider all that goes into a program office and testing, facilities and what not. When you try to amortize all of those other costs to eventually buy a hammer, that is literally how you end up with a 100 dollar hammer. (and it is probably nuke certified lol)
Release the files. The US has a right to know. Right lefties??
I think they can tell you. Understand too ... there are some expenditures they do not want to tell us because they are so fing stupid and some that they cannot tell us due to security reasons. And I'll bow out now.
Tell that to India. I've seen several Indian intellectuals say that British colonialism probably saved millions of lives in India.
Yep that is definitely Celine
Wait... are going to tell Indian intellectuals they don't understand how bad they had it? LOL. I love liberals. You guys can lecture anyone on anything.
I hope all or most of these immigrants move to the liberal strongholds because, in a couple of years (maybe sooner) those places will be trashed and practically destroyed. Let the libs have them and lose what they have.
Probably more of a micro/macro thing. His family probably did benefit. In fact, I think that Indians are the most wealthy and educated ethnic group in the US. Travel to India and explore along the Ganges and see if those folks have benefited from colonialism and I would bet the answer you get is different.
That was clearly a joke from a known humorist.
Exactly, I would never turn my back on this country. If they try to take it over (get rid of the constitution), me and my type would be in the way.
Go to those places before British occupation and see if it was better???? That's the point. Dude I listened to, said his grandmother hates the British due to her experience. Yet he says his grandmother has more rights and opportunities post British than any woman in Indias history. There is a reason democrat cities are going to hell and red states are improving... You can ignore reality but not the consequences of reality.
If Charlie wins AZ and can fix their election process AZ would be like FL in one election.
Agreed. But I love this country for our constitution and the rights we have. If we have a totalitarian gov that does not recognize our rights then it's not really America anymore. Lots of rich people filed for duel citizenship the last 4 years. It didn't get reported much but people were scared to death Kamala would start taxing and taking like the socialist she is.... Saw a podcast with a billionaire that said he got a Qatar passport and moved $300 million to that nation in fear of Kamala/Biden winning a second term.
People wouldn't keep up the fight if they thought the money was being drained - and they'd know. Besides, Ukraine is shorthanded. Can't much afford the money drains you claim. Where's a solid money trail? Don't tell me you don't have one. It's ignorant on the face of it.
He can't just go & hide alone. He has to advocate for others to join his hiding. What else would be expected from him?
believe me... It helps enjoy this board.
It's always attack mode with you. Never welcome a difference. Somehow you think this country can be greater by fostering conflict. Lovely.
Agreed which is why I said me and people like me would be in the way. Their type of governance was headed to being against our constitutional laws. We have enough people in this country who still believe in the constitution and what we stand for that would not allow that to happen.
