Your comment is dismissive, and unhelpful. I think if you were to maybe review the concept in a less shallow manner, you would see this is voluntary, for those already in country on parole anyways. If you think you can dismiss the concept by being disrespectful of your lack of depth I’d suggest you work on comprehension with logic puzzles or the like.

All of what I said requires effort, which is not guaranteed, they are options for the motivated, which is what we want those coming to this country to hold of personal value. Have a nice day though.

I agree the sentiment of that period was dark, and giving the people who have sacrificed their homes and have made a perilous journey here hope is what they came for to begin with. There is an argument to be made for ejecting people with no prospects outside of abhorrence, this is my attempting to soften it with something to strive for.

If we don’t do things like this, what do we expect these people who need to care for themselves and potentially their families are going to be willing to do?

We also have to be serious in consideration of the current climate, and having recruiting down will just lead to drafts or forced conscriptions if the climate turns further.

I wish we wouldn’t have enabled the current belief in the country being an opportunity for foreign actors to come to without using the proper mechanisms. Unfortunately it has and we are now in a situation that is untenable. We can hold back in fear of the “invasion” or come up with plans to integrate and/or assimilate these individuals in their family that will be a benefit or leave them to languish to our detriment.

No I didn’t say that or allude to it, voluntary conscripted amnesty. They would still have to naturalize as well, and only offer that after a sufficient period of service and all the rigors of training, ait, and actual term.

Do you believe we are not already having an inter-domain/dimensional information war with something of a nature you describe? (Kind of kidding)

I keep hearing about it being military-aged men whom are illegally emigrating to the u.s., and low recruiting would seem like a low-hanging fruit in the form of conscription for immigrants.

I mean it also would afford their actual stations more contract labor in non-military support roles at their posts for their spouses. Also would reduce recruitment costs as you wouldn’t need so many incentives to get em through the door, reduce over-crowded shelters, and the kind of people willing to serve and improve their station are the kind of immigrants we profess to want.

They should institute a voluntary conscripted amnesty/asylum for those who entered into the country and are on immigration parole. This program could allow for retroactive application to spouses/children (no extended family transferability until completion of service contract).

There would be no need for sign-on bonus, you could add additional qualifications for g.i. benefits in the form of naturalization.

It would really be a net positive as they would be forced to assimilate into our society in a way that is a net benefit at many different layers of the civil stack. The kind of people who are willing to serve the country rather than acting as a sanctioned entitlement case would be a win/win. No?

We did just (Americans and allies) Iranian proxies…non-news really when run through the lens of current political environment.

The things under attack are the message, not the attack itself. XD

Isn’t genetic material an infinite state machine as long as the host system has the requisite support continuity?

“Ai” is just the current moniker for a persistent assault on the original general intelligence (belief not required).

Pretty sure religion is an accurate representation of a generative intelligence, but I digress to knowing little.

Time is a concept of human design to demarcate wealth into units to be sold to the poor through the value exchange of labor.

You’re welcome, I’m not saying you don’t need money to participate in the experience of being a human. But there is more power in our belief in their unit (as this particular experience exposes about one store of value…. It certainly says about another.

The joker is real. ;)

Profit is the motivation of human endeavor…. Maybe we aren’t alone, it is as it will.

Now my wife’s musings about crypto dog yesterday are far more meaningful.

This struck me like a Medicare benefits review commercial. I think those are also a bit more substantive. ;)

American home ownership is so loaded with plantation era subtle subjugation in the form of linguistic convention. If master bedroom were the worst it would get attention.

I switched to originating new repos as main instead of master personally, reinforcing the concept of “commuting to” or code “being committed” to “master”, seems diametrically opposed to progress.

Glamorous toolkit docs/examples are a useful pharo intro.

When your property is representative of so many as Disney’s are due to shared exposure, it is hard to defend centralized control.
