Title: A great government housing project idea......
Post by: EppyGA - White Christian Domestic Terrorist on March 04, 2020, 09:49:10 AM
When Bernie was asked about his three houses, he stated he had to have one in D.C., one in Vermont and of course he was entitled to a summer camp. 

I can solve the, needing a D.C. house for all congress critters. The government should build a dormitory capable of house 535 people including a mess hall and community showers.  Problem solved.

Agreed, but I’d be happy with, say, five dorms housing around 100 each.

Put them in enlisted military barracks. 1 or 2 to a room, shared head.

 When I was at sea, we had 70 to 80 in a compartment, bunks stacked 4 high with barely enough room to walk between them.

Separate by D and R, or make ‘em all get along in the same building?

Curfews, no drinking ... maybe they’d actually be able to do some work for the people.

I was fortunate enough to never have to go on a ship during my time in the Marine Corps.

Hot bunking. Only need to house 179 people.  Everyone gets 8 hours in the rack.

I'd rather they built houses for our veterans.  Close to 10% of all homeless are vets.  Those who put themselves in danger to serve their country deserve better.

True! Vets face unique challenges that have not been adequately addressed and remedied. Physical and psychological trauma from battle, reintegration into civilian life, stress on family life from long deployments and so on.

You are welcome to donate to charities and/or voluntarily pay more taxes to go towards homeless housing.  I'd rather give to charities, as I am reasonably assured the money gets to those who need it.

Hey, you weren't on the Enterprise in the early 90s during a war game in the north sea, were you?

I was long gone. I got out in ‘81. 

My time on ship was a couple of short cruises as we were a one airplane detachment.  After the second cruise I transferred to land based aircraft.

We never really used that, but I've heard it.  It refers to the Yoeman, the people who kept the admin records.  They weren't really disrespected because if you had a good relationship with them, they might lose your leave papers when you got back and then the Navy couldn't charge you for vacation.

The Doc (corpsman) on the other hand could lose all your shot records and then you have go get them all again, so everyone liked him.

100 sailors go down, 50 couples come up.

Heard this many time.  Probably closer to no couples came up.  There were actually two NUBs (Non Useful Bodiies, new guy) who got caught messing around and they unvolunteered quickly.  It was apparent that neither was going to get qualified.  One was a dirtbag anyway, the other was an ok fellow, but dumb as a rock.  I don't know how he ever made it through sub school.

Good thing.  Everyone in that battle group is a "dead man."  Short story, we wound up in the middle of the fleet shooting green flares (proxy for torpedoes), got away in the confusion and circled back picking off all the stragglers.  I understand in the aftermath, nobody could provide data that ever pinned down our position. 

The North Sea is a great area for submarines.  Horrible on the surface.

They served our government, and are owed by our government.  When my favorite charity hires soldiers to go into combat I'll happily do what I can through said charity to take car of the soldiers.

I gotta say I totally agree with this statement. There are very few government entitlement projects I agree with, almost none actually, but the defense of our nation is one of the FEW jobs the feds are actually supposed to be doing and are entitled to our tax money to pay for. Setting aside for the moment whether military adventurism on the other side of the world is really “defense”, our soldiers still put their lives and bodies in harms way as literal “property” of the government and hence they are owed remedies for subsequent difficulties after they return. One can argue the relative effectiveness of various types of help (maybe help in getting counseling and a job would be better than just being given handouts) but that is beside the point. If you are going to justify handouts to anyone, our vets should be first above all others.

If the government fails, private sources should step up as a moral obligation, if you live in the country that soldier fought for.

Needy people are needy people.  I don't care who employed them.  They "served" the entire country.  WE THE PEOPLE are the government.  The Government can do nothing without OUR MONEY, and the approval of our elected representatives. 

Our government is merely a vehicle of The People to do those very few things we enable them to do, and one is national defense.

Except the nation has collectively turned over most of its national defense responsibility to the government, so there’s an argument to be made that the government may collectively provide for them, as opposed to private charity, except the case I state above.

We do however retain some personal responsibility for national defense, that’s what the 2nd is all about.

Yes, as evidenced by NYC and other cities being under water by 2014 like Al Gore said.  Oh wait.   ::)
