@RealAssPig @TLCplMax @grok Nevermind, fuck off entirely. These aren't even *your* tax dollars.

@SmitysTweets @TLCplMax @grok I know you don't know me. My friend for 15 years told me what he was doing over several years. There is a professional courtesy culture in the military. It's not a secret, yet people are defensive over it.

It's hard to talk about the VA disability thing with any nuance. I don't think VA disability fraud is rampant, as all claims are evaluated by doctors and the VA ultimately makes the final decision that is outside of any veteran's control.

@JackedBasedMgr @Kuriositykills She understands you. She's mocking you because your take is stupid.

Do you have the mental capacity to understand what id “be mad” about ? Or is it some grandstanding social thing that you’re latching on to but you don’t quite understand. For example. My cousin got blown up and came home for Iraq. He gets paid Should we also pay people who went to bootcamp and hurt their shins ? They now have anxiety from bootcamp…. It’s hard You see, us “mad” people are honestly astounded that legitimate military members aren’t mad Hope that helps. It likely won’t, I’m sure your husband or cousin or some other family member collects benefits because he got yelled at so the cognitive dissonance causes a conflict on your ability to comprehend the nuance Maybe I’m wrong, we should just pay everyone! Forever! All the money! The children that accomplished nothing should get the same as our combat soldiers and medalists. Equality. You all “served”

being a 100% P&T Disabled Vet has upset the basement dwellers!!! WHATEVER WILL I DO!!!

@RealAssPig @TLCplMax @grok So you pulled that info out of your ass. Good to know...

@SmitysTweets @TLCplMax @grok Nah, I'm not going to do that. Which is how I know fraud is higher than 1%. It's easier to move on when you learn someone is unethical than to participate in the spontaneous destruction of their family.

@d_kinimo @elonmusk @JoeTegtmeyer @teslaeurope Unions for starters, but mostly national security if I had to guess. (this will likely be categorized as critical national infrastructure once complete)

@SmitysTweets @elonmusk @JoeTegtmeyer @teslaeurope

No, that’s just the little advanced technology fab, where we will be iterating on chip designs. We couldn’t possibly fit the Terafab on the GigaTexas campus. It will be far bigger than everything else combined there. Several locations for Terafab are under consideration. It needs thousands of acres and over 10GW of power at full scale.

@LeighWolf "Just because you can collect VA benefits doesn’t mean you should." My condolences on your horrific brain injury. You should probably go to the VA for that...

Just because you can collect VA benefits doesn’t mean you should. The visceral reaction some will have to this statement underscores why the VA system is so broken. Finding a way to get the VA to sign your paperwork doesn’t make your benefits ethical or moral if you know you shouldn’t have them (or know you don’t need them). Fraud is both a legal and ethical question. The system is there for those who need it, not those who want it. While normies slog through years of BS to get compensation for real issues, the gray market “consultants” get bogus ratings for thousands of others. Sure, it may not flag on an audit for illegality, but it’s still unethical and immoral. (And also still fraud). The military is at it best when troops act with the highest integrity in all things, it’s very sad to see we’ve been debased to mere legalese as we decide who will receive our finite resources for disabled veterans. To put it more bluntly, you should be embarrassed to show your face in public if you did two years in the Navy reserve and are collecting disability for “anxiety.” I don’t care if the VA said yes, if that’s the totality of your chart, what you’re doing is unethical and immoral. I guarantee you there will be many who cannot even comprehend the concepts I’ve outlined here. To them the VA is just an infinite free money machine and they’re going to take as much as possible even if they know deep down they don’t really rate it or they don’t really need it. Many haven’t even considered the ethical and moral component of their decision on whether or not to pursue these benefits. For the record I am entitled to VA disability benefits but have never pursued a VA disability rating…mainly for the reasons I’ve outline above.

@conservmillen That's not true. I don't think it's very funny...

You only find this funny if you have no fear of God, no love for Him, and no belief in Him

@d_kinimo @elonmusk @JoeTegtmeyer @teslaeurope It will definitely *NOT* be built in Europe.

@elonmusk @JoeTegtmeyer There is enough space @teslaeurope (Berlin) maybe too little water, but otherwise all good🤷‍♂️

@PeterSweden7 ...and nothing of value was lost

BREAKING: Two far-left extremists in Rome, Italy, have blown themselves up while preparing a bomb for a planned attack. They both died in the exolosion.

@zacharyebell VA's own OIG says the fraud is less than .01%, but I'm sure you know better than they do... 🙄

Yes, VA reform needs to happen. More than most can even imagine. But I wish everyone calling for VA reform had been this loud during a 20-year war. Didn’t hear many people saying anything with their chest back then.

pineapple on pizza is really funny because literally everyone who's actually tried it likes it, proving the rest are just cattle attaching to whatever the herd told them to believe

@pureMetatron Depends entirely on who died. I'm cheering for Kissinger every fucking time.

I'm gonna die on this hill. Charlie Kirk dies, people laugh and dance. Rob Reiner dies, people laugh and dance. Now Robert Muller died, Trump says he is glad he is dead. Trump will die, people will be dancing and celebrating. Biden will die, people will be dancing and celebrating. Can we make it a thing where it's just morally wrong to celebrate death? It's inappropriate, petty, vindictive and morally out of place. We need to be better than this as a nation and a people.

@unlimited_ls They are gonna wear him out in Prison.

🚨NEW: The registered s*x offender who randomly threw a 63-year-old man in a wheelchair to the ground and repeatedly slammed his head into the sidewalk until he died has been sentenced to 22 years The judge previously rescheduled the sentencing hearing because he could not stop crying Gabriel Vargas-Garcia, 28, pleaded guilty in January to second-degree murder and two counts of malicious mischief Prosecutors said Vargas-Garcia randomly attacked and killed a 63-year-old man in a wheelchair at the Bellevue Transit Center in 2022 Investigators said he kicked, beat, and smashed the victim’s head into the sidewalk shortly after being released from jail for a prior assault

@TechOperator ...and what a coincidence, we get a nice little discount right now to get more :D

My immediate thought at the end of the Terafab presentation last evening: I don't own enough $TSLA

@JohnCleese Compromise is *not* possible with Islam.

Does he realise that this kind of talk makes people feel that compromise is not possibe, and that this way of thinking is very aggressive ?

@ridefair @harukaawake Whew! They've been waiting for your permission...

@harukaawake I fully support Japan's re-armament. I believe my grandfather who faught against them during WW2 would feel the same.

🇯🇵 We're going to build a massive army armed with nuclear weapons and there's nothing you communists can do about it.

@HLC_actual You're making a lot of assumptions without any due diligence.

Ok vets we all know Uncle Sam fucks our bodies and minds up. But this level of egregious welfare baby bullshit has gotta stop. This is a rare occurrence as most of us getting out are genuinely fucked up and just tell the truth to the doctors and accept what we get. When we see guys that were shot getting less “benefits” than dudes like this who literally never did anything something is wrong. This is a rare occurance but should be called out when it happens. Hold each other accountable.

@RealAssPig @TLCplMax @grok You can only "work under the table" on TDIU, and yes, you should report that if that is happening.

@SmitysTweets @TLCplMax @grok You are right. We should start snitching on the disabled vets we know that openly admit they don't need disability but love working under the table while collecting it.

@IndefiniteLT Bumper sticker patriots are the worst.

Americans went from singing Toby Keith songs about how we’ll “put a boot in your a$$, it’s the American way” to asking everyone who parks in a Lowe’s veteran parking space to “show me your C-file” real quick. 😬

@Eli_Doubletap It's not a contest. If the VA said they're supposed to get it, that's good enough for me. It should be good enough for you too.

It’s a wild when I hear a story like this guys or similar ones and they all have a higher disability rating then a lot of the guys I deployed with or even myself. Mind you I have done the VA game multiple times. So let’s look at his service. Which I am thankful he served and he should be proud of the fact he signed the dotted line He did 2 years in the navy, did schooling, never deployed, and getting disability for anxiety and depression. Around 70-80% is his rating based off the pay he said. I will also add I have heard other similar stories that get a rating like this or higher. Either they have never deployed, Did half a service term, or No crazy stories or injuries. Yet still a high rating. For comparison here is my own personal experience and what the guys i deployed with dealt with during the 15-16 month deployment “this is just battalion level, not brigade level. 3-6 Battalions equal a brigade” also attached the list of medals from 2-23 battalion during the surge. Myself. 4 years with a 16 month deployment to Iraq. Shot once “this is how I got my Purple Heart”, Blown up 3 times, 1 suicide bomber, and God knows how many fire fights… at minimum 30. this is pretty common experience for all the 2-23 guys. So not sure how people get those super high ratings when I know the guys or I had trouble with ours. I don’t know the solution but I do think there should be more accountability for how it’s handed out if the tax payers are fronting the bill but with out making it harder for the individuals that truly need it. Rest in peace to the 16 brothers we lost Aaron Gautier, 19 - KIA 5/17/2007 Jonathan Hamm, 20 - KIA 5/17/2007 Joel Dahl, 21 - KIA 6/23/2007 Shawn Hensel, 20 - KIA - 8/14/2007 David Cooper Jr, 36 - KIA - 9/5/2007 Donald Valentine, 21 - KIA 9/18/2007 Nicholas Olson, 22 - KIA 9/18/2007 Joseph Landry III, 23 - KIA 9/18/2007 Luigi Marciante, 25 - KIA 9/20/2007 David Watson, 29 - KIA - 9/22/2007 Peter Schmidt, 30 - KIA 11/13/2007 Christopher Kruse, 23 - KIA 11/13/2007 Kenneth Booker, 25 - KIA 11/14/2007 Jason Lemke, 30 - KIA 01/05/2008 Chad Groepper, 21 - KIA 2/17/2008 Luke Runyan, 21 - KIA 2/17/2008

@visionergeo ...which they won't agree to unless it becomes more painful for them.

‼️‼️ According to AXIOS, the US has presented strict conditions to Iran in exchange for peace and a ceasefire, which were delivered to the recipient by Egypt, Qatar, and the United Kingdom. 🇺🇸👉🇮🇷 The US demands 6 commitments from Iran: 1. Renunciation of the missile program for five years; 2. Complete cessation of uranium enrichment (with zero levels); 3. Decommissioning of the bombed reactors at Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow; 4. Strict external supervision of centrifuges and nuclear facilities; 5. Regional arms control agreements, limiting the number of missiles to no more than 1000 units; 6. Complete cessation of funding for puppet groups — Hezbollah, Houthis, and Hamas.
