    Wow, a 2008 viper for only 38.99% APR! That’ll be perfect for me and my expectant-stripper-wife! Chief is gonna be so impressed when I show him!

      They tried selling it to me for 25% interest but I told them I was 100% interested and to not play games. Those idiots folded so quick and gave it to me for 100% interest lmao

      I first thought Bender and a Minion went through the same kind of transporter incident on Voyager, that gave us Tuvix.

    Office worker sitting in a climate controlled office earning 200k+ and no one questions it; soldiers putting their literal life at risk and earning ~40k asks for a raise and people lose their mind.

    I’m all for living in what you can afford, but it doesn’t justify what our soldiers are paid and the treatment they get post service.

      Treatment post service is horrible. What they get paid though, they signed up for. Increase the minimum wage 10 years ago and I might start being sympathetic. If one has always been shit, the other has to be as well. It’s an accurate reflection of our country. I have plenty of empathy, when you set out to be the grand protector, “You get what you get and you don’t get upset”. Everyone in the service industry is treated as disposable, killing people and risking your life cannot be considered service anymore.
