      • Yeah, you're like Oerdin's decoy!
        Is it me, or is MOBIUS a horrible person?

            MONEY IS NOT EVERYTHING. It is not the ultimate value.
            Are you ****ing stupid? Here is the trade:

            Buy a mercenary (experienced mercenaries cost, say 200k in salary and benefits, so we'll call one to replace you 150k)
            Sell you: savings 100k in salary and bennies. Also, save tens of thousands in training costs.

            Therefore, your service to the US saves <50k over that of a mercenary. Let's be generous and say that you save the full 50k.

            By hiring a mercenary, the US has been provided the same service you were providing at an additional cost of 50k. I will pay twice that much in taxes this year, by the way.

            • But what are the values of Al not being able to post while on duty (decreased bandwith use due to poly being somehow more boring than it already is; resulting excess of poly posters doing something... god forbid... in real life; lost utility of laughter; ect.), not on the Philly streets to get mugged once again (an economic rent to muggers everywhere)... I could go on and on... it's very complicated. Best to just accept God's will, that Al post on Poly instead of throws fragmentation grenades at hostages.

                While true, what does this have to do with comparing Albie-in-the-alternative-universe-in-which-he-actually-made-it-through-bootcamp with Kuci? Where does he even fall in actuaries' typical $55,999-$111,976 range?
                Unbelievable!

                • The question is not what kuci earns, but what he pays in taxes.

                    • Albie, your whole ****ing attitude toward life is pathetic. Nobody wanted to hire you into the fast track to wealth, boo ****ing hoo. You flunked out of the marines at least twice due to being a giant ****ing *****, boo ****ing hoo.

                      Your entire life seems to be based around being bitter about the fact that some people had it easier growing up than you did. Eat my ****ing ass, you whiny *****. You're a 25+ year-old MAN. You're wasting whatever talent you have sitting around waiting to try a third time to gain employment as a marginally skilled employee (marine officer).

                      Get your ****ing act together, accept that you are nothing special and take a mind-numbing, soul-destroying job like most people do.

                        I'm sure we both agree that his net contribution to society greatly exceeds whatever the present tax code happens to wrest from him, but it's a good enough metric to get the point across, sure.
                        Unbelievable!

                          he's a ****ing actuary. Am I in the twilight zone or something where a pencil pushing insurance person is so high and mighty

                            You call it the twilight zone; I call it the 21st century.

                              Well as KH said:
                              take a mind-numbing, soul-destroying job like most people do.
                              Call me old-fashioned but that's not me. I can't stand the thought of being a corporate whore like KH drinking away my torment of a lack of meaning in life.

                                If you're truly so fixated on finding "meaning" more than anything else, then whatever it is you idealize - the Marines or otherwise - is setting you up for a rude awakening. Sooner or later you'll realize that there's nothing but mind-numbing, soul-destroying jobs left on this earth, no matter where you look, and it's what you do with your time off that will define you. Do you really want whining on Poly to be that?
