Guess why the military has (shitty but more than none) social safety nets like socialized medicine and student loan forgiveness? And why the elite continuously refuse to raise the standard of living of the poor?

As long as these benefits are just slightly better than poverty, recruiting numbers will stay up.

There’s no way in hell that ‘ideology’ that supports the executive branch, as a requirement for funding, will survive the courts.

Interesting perspective. Thank you.

Idk if it’s a troll comment or not, but I do believe that Mercer tried to give the players more imaginative and creative freedom.

That may have been what you were picking up on as possibly him not leading as much as he has in the past.

I wonder if this will negatively affect their ratings. This is a big change and Mercer is a huge draw for the show. I haven’t enjoyed most of their non-mainline material for this reason, he’s my biggest draw.

I mean, isn’t this a win?
