  • Yes, and at times like these some military leaders tend to tell troops to “be financially ready” to go unpaid, and “there is no excuse for not paying your bills on time”.

    Late and missed payments are sometimes reported to members’ leadership by the debtors, especially landlords. Normally this isn’t such a bad thing, since service members are expected to be on top of their debts at all times–but being punished for this when going unpaid is completely cruel.






  • Gerrymandering is a huge problem, but it’s only part of the problem. Thanks to the Reapportionment Act of 1929 capping the number of US representatives at 435, votes have become weaker and weaker as the population grows. Moreso in densely populated states, obviously.

    So you have Wyoming with a single US Representative whose constituents effectively have more say in national policy than any other citizens.

    We must re-reapportion the House. This could reduce gerrymander cheating, and may even make additional parties viable. Our votes should carry equal weight.
