But then it's just the same thing, just wealth redistribution

That's too smart

There's nothing new

The idea of not increasing taxes would aloow people to save money is a foriegn concept

So the govt does it for us with all the social security shit

Which if you are younger you are never going to fucking see

Mises managed to point out fairly succinctly as well that wealth redistribution just happens within each class. The working poor subsidise the non working poor, in the middle class, the families subsidise the childless, or the private schoolers subsidise the public schoolers or the smokers subsidise the non-smokers etc. You get to the rich and they simply pay so much tax but get so much in subsidies.

I buy gold, handling my own pension

Blair made fairly sure no one in my country will ever retire with a cent

Whoa whoa whoa, you're trying to say that the easiest way to give people more money... is for the government to stop stealing so god damn much of their money AT EVERY TURN!?

WHAT A NOVEL FUCKING IDEA

I got a novel idea

Disband the guberment

go back to small grug tribe units

I mean... the shutdown was a pretty neat showcase of why the federal government is irrelevant in your every day life, and that all you *really* need is a state/local government.

Wasn't even a real shut down tbh

So much shit was still open

"but muh EMS workers", yeah, pay them off state taxes.

I was hoping the USCG would go nuts and attack the capital

Y'know... I'd have been like "lol coasties", but they probably see more action more often than most soliders.

Coasties have training on par with the USMC

Which isn't something the other branches can brag about.

Fucking damn

I also begrudgingly admit that

If another Marine heard that I'd have to turn in my crayon pass

Yeah, I mean they basically do what the Marines would traditionally do. Ship to ship and boarding actions, etc.

inb4 retard who never served but, is in this /k/ discord goes "nuhuh not true lol coasties fags and not real branch"

That's extra tarded. Coasties put in work.

The one I know is now on the dolphin SAR teams after an arctic expedition on the Polar Star

They fail people who fuck up on the smallest of things, like jumpers.

I'd imagine so, no room for error on their jobs.

(IE: String that hangs off your uniform, looks like a zipline, hence the nickname jumper. If you don't police it, they drop people back a week)

By doing shit like that they keep the Coastes in a state of constant hypervigilance/suicide watch level of stress for their entire boot camp

3 drops and you are out of the USCG

If that's what it takes, that's what it takes. Gotta break you from being a civvie so you can be a Coastie.

It's not like the Corps in the sense that, the fastest way out of P.I is to just pass the boot camp and not get hurt

ie: *You* ***WILL*** *be forced into the Corps*

I don't know how their physical shit is. It's not as high but, it's god damn close.

Their bootcamp is 53 days, roughly

Ours is 70 training days for a total of 13 weeks
