The conservatards tend to overlook it, but I think conscription might have played a minor role in getting so many young men to wade onto such beaches as needed storming.

Kinda sorta related: What do my fellow Wonketters think of Norwegian Air? http://centreforaviation.co...

Basically they set up their headquarters in Ireland for tax reasons, then based all their aircrews out of Thailand to dodge certain labour laws. The DoT just granted them the right to operate in the United States.

So yes it's dickish, but I'm impressed NAI went this far to keep their own costs low. And yes their airfares to Europe are rather cheap. Plus their planes are new and good looking, and feature cool people on their tails like Greta Garbo, Hans Christian Anderson, and Roald Amundsen, among many others.

So yeah I'm rather conflicted. What say you guys?

Why does anybody think dumb-ass shit sacks like this should set economic policy?

Because they're elected in by their fellow dumb-ass shitsacks.

As a retired Silicon Valley engineer I can tell you exactly why, it's because they understand that there is no way in hell you are going to be able to convince the best, and the brightest, college educated engineers that make Silicon Valley hum to come work for your outfit in Mississippi.

Many of them are under the impression that the draft wasn't necessary because American teenagers were so eager to take revenge on the japs and krauts. That was before political correctness, see, so they could use slurs like that and therefore they could express that healthy hatred that forms the basis for a superpower.

Of course, this is assisted by the constant inclusion in any good World War 2 movie of the soldier who volunteered because he just couldn't stand to see his country treated like that.

Speaking of things that work, would you like to buy a magic rock? It keeps tigers away! I haven't seen a single motherfucking tiger since I found it!

I'm sure someone beat me to the punch here, but in seven years large parts of Florida are probably going to be underwater so I don't think Rick really thought this through.

You're not Usidore from Welcome to the Magic Tavern podcast by any chance, are you?
