I didn’t say anything about reverting back to medieval weaponry or battle tactics. More than a couple ways to make their ears ring these days even if they aren’t the tip of the spear.
RIP kbin.social. We hardly knew ye.

Royalty and nobility taking part in actual on-the-ground warfare. I’d be curious if that would have any effect on military operations…
I enjoy both. More typically I go for coffee in the morning. Pretty stuck on the same exact coffee, but I try this and that when it comes to tea. I’ll always have both stocked in my pantry.
Whatever happened to Whiplash? You know, that spider monkey that would dress up as a cowboy and ride around on a border collie at rodeos and in a few Taco John’s commercials. Put him in there. The border collie can be his running mate… (get it? get it?)
Is anyone who enjoys something that you don’t measuring their dick, or does it have something to do with the inherent double entendre related to noodles?
I mean, when I eat spicy things I’m not even thinking about my genitals; I’m enjoying my food.
Eh, the post you’re replying to isn’t anywhere close to as cynical as it could have been.
Frankly, the most generous interpretation of why this policy was put forward is an implicit acknowledgement that the way the US healthcare industry currently operates is adversely impacting the personal economies of a huge segment of the population in a way that isn’t really justified. With just a slight bit of cynicism, in that they they mention how it could affect mortgage acceptance rates, there’s also an acknowledgement of the knock-on effects this is having on other segments of the broader economy, which is probably what they care more about. And with just touch more cynicism we could say this is a move to garner more votes in the upcoming election. Or all of those things can be true simultaneously.
The state of the US health insurance industry and the relationship private equity has to healthcare in general really needs a complete overhaul. To say that this is a bandaid solution (if even that) isn’t the same as saying that it won’t do any good, and therefore shouldn’t be implemented.
Hats off to them! Where are the rest?
The US doesn’t do conscription. We have something of an economic draft in this country. There’s a whole different conversation to be had about that. I suspect a non-zero change to the frequency and motivations behind our deployments to follow if we make earning privilege compulsory. Our veterans services would likely look a fair bit different as well.
