Economy US job growth slows sharply; unemployment rate slightly rises -- Trump fires head of Bureau of Labor and Statistics

You don’t even know the meaning of straw man

That's not much of an argument, is it? Let's expand upon it. Here's the definition of straw man, courtesy of Wikipedia:

"A straw man fallacy (sometimes written as strawman) is the informal fallacy of refuting an argument different from the one actually under discussion, while not recognizing or acknowledging the distinction."

Now let's take a look at your post.

But he straight out of project 2025 playbook , he will be president for life also . No more elections they tried to warn us that democracy was on the line

None of these things are related to the topic at hand, but you decided to attribute the statements to some nebulous group of posters here, and then dismiss them sarcastically. That is essentially the definition of a straw man argument. So in other words—not only do I know the meaning of straw man, but you apparently don't.

Well, now you do. You're welcome.

I was responding to Hitler comments

Anybody can go back and clearly see that this was the post you were responding to:

Giving trump bad news = doing a bad job in the maga hive mind apparently

Not seeing anything about Hitler there. So why are you lying? Have I cut a bit too close for comfort? You actually make these kinds of meaningless, sarcastic posts quite frequently, and very, very rarely do you post your genuine thoughts on topics regarding Trump. So I'd say my analysis in the last post I made was actually spot on.
 
Sigh.

Ive gone over this before.

I got like 2nd to last pick of assignments after being enumerated #1 of 6 and #1 of 8 majors at my job in Germany. I got assigned at Ft Polk. That year we conducted ZERO ranges, as a cav squadron, but managed FOUR transgender sensitivity sessions. We were the JRTC taskings brigade. The Brigade just got back from the afganistan withdrawal. And life there was shit. We got our training calendar dumped and picked up the summer cadet training mission in Ft knox. Yay babysitting college kids. It was on the drive up there my wife sent me a picture of my kid learning to ride his bike. That one crushed me. I could not stomach being the absent dad but the company man anymore.

I called and asked her how angry she would be if we accelerated plans and got out. Losing tricare and pension for life? Big decision. But if you are only staying in a shit job for a pension you gotta ask yourself if it's worth it.

I don't need the money. I'm set because we were DINK for decades and I got lucky with MSFT stock on my first deployment.

You're intent on spinning me up. But I'm on dubbs and I gotta just ride it out. Going after somebody's service is just a dick move when you have absolutely no evidence.
I didn't even read through that. I'll go back and do so. You omitted info that was pretty important to the conversation. You held a federal job for almost two decades, and now you are applauding federal jobs being slashed. I am going to go out on a limb and say that this country didn't need you. Do I think you shouldn't have had that job? Of course not. You are being very hypocritical, and it is blatant. The reason why I'm "spinning you up" is because you got caught using an angle. And LOL at "going after your service". You acted like you have nothing to do with the military earlier in this thread. You argued in bad faith, and you know it.

Just take it to DMs or stfu
 
Read your question clearly. You can read my previous posts on the matter.

I actually have 2x DD214's both characterized as honorable. One enlisted one as an officer. I choose to leave at 17 because I do not NEED a pension. I am financially set. I put in my REFRAD packet under Biden and the Tranny administration. You can search my post history if you like nothing I have said about my service is inconsistent.

I await your apology.
Interesting
How much longer did you have to go to get pension & benefits???
3 more years?
 
@cottagecheesefan will always be known for the Kari Lake pulling ahead thread, which is chock full of unintentional comedy. It ranks up there with I met BJ Penn in the airport thread which is also an all time classic. The funny part about the thread is in typical MAGA-Dogger fashion, something would get post they found from a Corporate MAGA social media influencer that confirmed their bias, and a couple pages later, that shit got debunked. If you want a good laugh, peruse that thread, it is hilarious. Weird part is MAGA is still getting duped by Corporate MAGA social media influencers, you figured all these later, they would realize they are the Sucker. Which makes me think of the movie Rounders.



This was a legit LOL
My first encounter with these sewer dwellers were the pre & post J6 days. The classic "any day now they will overturn the stolen election" copium months. Even had one of them a giant fake Christian in my DMs daily begging me to look at his "evidence" prior to him taking part in the insurrection. His evidence you ask???? His evidence was like a 480p cellphone vid of some weirdo on his home computer looking at random line graphs saying things that showed he had no idea what he was talking about or looking at. When I asked the sherdogger to explain these random line graphs in his own words he couldn't & said "this guy is smart and he knows what hes talking about look at how the numbers change as time goes on." I explained to him that his comments show that him & his fake guru didn't even understand the very basics of elections & how different districts flip a state based on population and turnout and polling places closing and getting the numbers centralized virtually & physically. Very basic grade school stuff. Absolute morons who know the least larping as makeshift crackpot experts.

In typical Muppet MAGA fashion, the ALWAYS wrong brigade keeps making bold & unverified claims not realizing that they lost any & all ccredibility due to their last 20 claims getting debunked.

They are like those sports pundits who are ALWAYS wrong with their dumb "hot takes & picks" but they keep getting airtime because they have big circus clown entertainment energy.
 
Yeah.

But I can go grab a federal job and "buy" my years back if I really NEED a pension.

I'd have to be pretty desperate to do that though.
So it was that bad that a tough military vet of over a decade & a half couldn't even due a 3 year bid???
You hate trans that bad ???? Lol
I know millionaires who still stuck it out to not leave their decent pension on the table.

Im ignorant to the "buy back" process. Mind explaining it? Sounds decent but haven't heard anyone mention it when they complain about being stuck for the benefits.

Your political leaning has brought you to denigrating your own service because it was a "federal job". That strikes me a terribly sad.

Yeah. It was bad. Ask anyone about Ft Polk. It wasn't just the trans issue. But as a warfighting organization we did fuck all to prepare.

It was a trade off. Do 3 more years of bullshit when I don't have to or spend every day with my kid on an epic adventure sailing a boat around the Bahamas and Caribbean? Easy choice.

Federal service years can "accumulate" as a math problem. If you get out, you have a limited amount of time to transition to another federal job. Then as time goes on it becomes more "expensive," to buy back into the system. Not prohibitively so, as ive only been out a couple years. Its a math formula.

This explains most of it:
 


Before you invest in a high leveraged ETF, educate yourself about decay. These are not stocks you hold forever but which you know the market is going up or down, you get the ETF that is leveraged in whatever direction you think the market is going. I use $UVXY which is not even on the list I added. Someone on here the last time, I posted about it, called me an idiot, and then I proceeded to double my money.
Thanks

I know enough that wealthy people capitalize of market volatility, its evident when people like Morjorie Green become millionaires with trumps haphazard tariff/ markets fluctuations


I dont intend to gamble big, but as this trend continues, might try to make a little chump change while the elites are

Yeah looks like even with post grace period intrest the recoup time is less than 2 years of benefit increase provided.
I guess the only unknown is actually landing a federal job.
Interesting stuff. I ask because in my prior career I was the companies VA loan specialist & dealt with nothing but VA entitlement and loans for like a year before I got switched to something that was way less of a hassle and way more money. Working through or with the VA sucked.

Hmmm this boat story sounds familiar. Did you ever commit to fighting somebody on here but couldn't do it because you were sailing around the world??????
I swear it was a whole thread a while ago.
 
lol you live in CuckStralia those Covid detention camps warped your mind
Warped = Trolling & lol'ing in threads about holding your cult leader accountable for horrific crimes against children

Cuck = Simping for Trump after he told you & MAGA to STFU about asking him to release the list he said he would.

Both Of Those = You
 
lol you live in CuckStralia those Covid detention camps warped your mind
Bro my country objectively shits on yours.

Lower crime, higher life expectancy, better HDI, better education system... fuck man the list goes on.

Bro your own country says we do freedom better than you.

Yeah, VA sucks. I won't go to them.

You're talking about Deaths Head. Dude is ducking me in the OT, S&C, and Striking forums. Im back in the USA training. Offered a couple spots to meet and he's ghosting me. I'll post training footage every once in a while. He posts a selfie.

I did a bit more research on his post history and found a doozey on him. He'll pop back up eventually but when I drop this photo on him I bet he doesn't post for a month.
 
Forget to add. Caveat Emptor, I just some dude that bangs Boise dimes two at a time, Benches Teh 275, trains UFC, and a Big Dick Millionaire like every other poster on Sherdog, so take my investment advice with a grain of salt.
hahaha

For sure man. I cant trust AI with my investments yet alone a sherbro, no matter how accomplished in all facets of life.

But its something that has crossed my mind already
