I did say "Any" and your response was "none". I just working with those two facts right now.

How commonly do you think people respond to someone kicking down their door/breaking their windows by grabbing a gun? Fairly common right?

Be fair, both Dem and Gop-led wars/conflicts and corporation bailouts. The two parties are just two sides of the same coin working towards their goal of benefiting themselves. And it's not money we have either, more like money borrowed from future generations. The debt has blown up this past year due to that borrowing of future, non-existent money. I said it earlier but nearly 35% of the money in circulation today was printed this past year as well. A continuous paycheck without opening up the economy would've only exacerbated this financial situation.

@DeathRhodes666, you just advanced to level 7!

Depends on common and the percentage of Gun owners. I would have to do Research and look around Data. Absent of that would only be a Gut Feeling on my part.

44% have a gun in their household.

US-wide.

12 % have a bread maker

@DeathRhodes666 that’s every year. We can deal with cutting down war expenses after the pandemic. Now is not the time to be stingy with the budget. Especially how fast and loose we have been over the past several decades. Next year pull back troop.

after the pandemic?

When you're talking about the kinds of people that usually get their doors kicked in? Much higher a %.

@james j you mean in 2026?

2024 realistically Yang 2024 @Doc

@Maw. And the amount of No Knock Warrants performed each Year?

https://cjmasters.eku.edu/sites/cjmasters.eku.edu/files/21stmilitarization.pdf 60-70k in 2010.

Almost all for marijuana.

no knock warrant is a misleading name. It should be called "one knock warrant"

@james j We are close to reaching the point where taxpayers are just going to be paying nothing but interest on the debt.

Without significant tax hikes.

Which corporations will not be even close to able to cover.

I look forward to tax hikes. It’s either now or later

James.

We're almost at a point where we can't spend on anything but interest.

Do you understand how bad that is?

This is inevitable

as in knock the door down?

Stimulus or not

No it's not inevitable.

Total healthcare expenses have surpassed war expenses since 2015 or 2016. Well, specifically the budget for all healthcare programs. Idk how "fast and loose" the government has been over the past several decades, but I do know the past 10 years has been horrible, except for the booming economy, peace deals, and troop withdrawal of the past 2 trump years. We really wouldn't have to be stingy with the budget if Federal Government wasn't left unchecked and ignorantly supported by voters (myslef included when I first voted fro Obama).

@meglide yes. You get to hear at least one knock.

I don't understand this idea of "Well it's inevitable, let's just bankrupt ourselves!"

@DeathRhodes666 yeah that’s the issue with not having m4a. You start with a population of people that get regular check ups and catch issues early and are mindful of their health most of these health costs later on get much much cheaper. No 1 cause of death is heart disease. Which is preventable

just trading short-term gain for long-term pain ... much like the "lockdowns" themselves

@Maw my point is now is not the time to worry about that. That’s something people can take seriously post pandemic

My dude, we're teetering on the point of a downward spiral to bankruptcy, right now is the perfect time to think about that.\

No Knock vs Quick Knock is the Term used in Research and Enforcement/Judicial Settings in the US.

@meglide a once in a 100 year pandemic should be something we should have been prepared for.

@Maw If you want the logic behind dark projections, Im sure you can think of someone. 😄

That was true 10 years ago and will be true 10 years from now @Maw

... no james, no.
