they did it under the guise of 'democracy'

Democracy is usually more used to deploy over oil territory. Financial pressure is more about ‘freeing the market ‘

I dont think we owe the imf

Or the world bank.

Idk. I haven't looked into it much

I think the usa would be too big to fuck with tho

Especially now that we are energy independent

The energy independent point is a huge/decisive factor. And yes, USA can not be “managed” as Greece. Well, I ll do my research on USA/imf/world bank. Thanks for your valuable inputs. I appreciate.

Yeah I'm gonna have to look into it as well

2010: The banks are too big to fail.
2020: The U.S. is too big to fail.

2008-9 banks are failing

securities and exchange commission has been warning the fed and treasury about the shit that eventually caused the 2008-9 crash for 3 decades

the reply given back to the sec - the market will regulate itself

the sec's job - to watch for problems and regulate the markets

the ones in the sec that has been warning all that time eventually quit their jobs because of the bs treatment they got from the fed and treasury for 3 decades

with a final word - I told u so

imho..the primary person that had to deal with the bs all that time...should become the new head of the sec

@DarkSkyKEC I think that the first quote was actually: “to big to jail”

I still don’t get why/how nation states have to borrow from private their own money. I think that 2008 crash was subprime crisis bubble.

How does the ROTC work? Do you have to be in the military already to get the benefit thing or can you sign up and then join the military

It's basically a scholarship program where the military pays for you to get a bachelor's degree, upon completion you will have to serve a minimum time as an officer. Typically 4-8 years depending on the job/contract

You sign up for that as a civilian too

If your already enlisted in the military, then you can work your way up to a bachelor's and apply for OTS (officer training school). Or, if you're under a certain age (I think it's 23 for the airforce) then you can apply for that branch's academy. The academy route also take civilian application's, but they're pretty damn strict

@Skeefo so theres no program for medical degrees or anything like that?

I think there's the HPSP, but I never looked into medical that much

Health professions scholarship program, btw

a military combat background is highly prize in the medical industry because of the trauma care experience

my bro helped 2 hospitals setup for trauma care using his military experience

<@&719764873759686687> If I want to post some videos of my brothers and I doing some music recording (covers and original music), where should I put them?

okay. thx

> I think there's the HPSP, but I never looked into medical that much
@Skeefo gonna research and see if I can be a medic or something with those programs

If not I may as well get a engineer degree and go to japan lmfao

For any medical people is it normal that I feel no heartbeat at all in my chest, but the pulse at the base of my thumb is beating normally?

I haven't been able to feel a heartbeat in my chest for the past 4 months or so

Legally speaking, you shouldn't be asking anybody for medical advice here. Most people with medical backgrounds won't be able to give advice. If this is something you are concerned about, you may be better off seeing a doctor.

That's the thing I can't see a doctor, i have no way to get to one. So I just want to ask around incase anyone is experienced in that type of stuff.

Also is it illegal to ask for medical advice?

It is not illegal to ask for advice, however, there are issues for any medical professionals to give medical advice without more information, or to give medical advice in states that they are not licensed to practice in.

I don't live in America so would the licensing in states they are not licensed in still be a issue?

Probably still an issue. I suppose any medical professionals may know what they are allowed to do.
