5% of the federal budget goes to Veterans Benefits/the VA.

VA claims for 100 percent Disability have exploded despite the fact that it's peacetime and most warfare is now done by drone strikes/special forces.







Note that the most common claim is tinnitus, a claim that cannot be measured by doctors and is entirely subject on the person suffering from it.

So investigating them like a private sector company would, would probably be beneficial

Anecdotally, I follow a lolcow named Lucas Gage who is on 100 percent disability who claims to be completely disabled with PTSD but spends his time obsessing about Jews. He can obviously focus and work as evidenced by long blogposts and his frequent trips to the gym, he just doesn't because he tricked the VA.

The irony of blaming Trump for this loss because of his 51st state comments, as though you were already the 51st state and are acting like fags in California and Illinois, is lost on not only the Leafs but the ConInc. grifters like this faggot:


And LOL Pierre really was Pierre Delecto in Leaf form, they used him to try and show he's hip and modern because he's from Ontario so he's "moderate"

The worst part is that guys with legitimate disabilities get low ratings as they’re more likely to be honest. Lose your legs? 50% disabled, you still have your arms.

Have “military sexual trauma” (i.e. were the base slut)? Oh you poor little thing, 70% disabled for your “PTSD”, which when combined with your “tinnitus” (despite never firing a gun) gets you 100%.

 

[George Lucas]

As typical Cucknadian as one can get.
Incredibly old farts fell for it especially…
Why can’t older folks be like @Gehenna ?
I miss him.

A lot of old Canadians are ex-hippy types who think that anything anti-America is cool while failing to consider how shitty their own country is. Another part considers Liberals to be the default Canadian ‘patriotic’ party because of muh Trudeau legacy bullshit that doesn’t even apply anymore.

Tinnitus can theoretically be measured because it is caused by actual physical phenomenon, but the medical community develops at such a slow pace that this will never be used to verify claims of tinnitus for maybe a century or more, if ever.

I would imagine that tinnitus is probably one of the most common conditions that one would obtain from something involving explosions.

the US Military issues better hearing protection than I’ve ever used.

Shit, one time I rented a UMP 45 and those things are so horribly designed the stock kept pushing my ear muffs off

I'm close with someone who processes mortgage documents. Specifically, VA (Veterans Affairs) and FHA loan docs. VA loan packages contain the applicant's military and income records, including discharge papers and some VA medical information. Enough to get a pretty accurate picture of their time in the service and their income from VA disability.

In their opinion, vets are the only cohort of people who abuse the system of government gibs as much as welfare niggers.

 

[Clyde Cash's Left Teste]

Yeah, we really do need to look into the 100% disability because it should be really rare.

I bet if people looked it up, tinnitus is most common in soldiers, construction workers, foundry folks, ship breakers maybe. Music people get this all the time. Shit is loud, and hearing doesn't really come back. But i don't have the data in front of me. Out of all the fallacious claims, I bet tinnitus is used because sure its unfalsifiable, but also its a pretty common thing that makes life worse.

I know an ex IAF F16 technician who used to work in extremely loud conditions. He never had any issue with tinnitus. The only reason I can think of to have tinnitus now is if you're in combat and unable to wear hearing protection.

To be completely fair, 3M was sued for faulty earplugs that were widely used in the military from 2003 tp 2015 and didn't reduce tinnitus.

From this mornings press briefing with Bessent, the media is desperately trying to make muh polls mean something, the same people who were wrong all last year:

Yesterday, Bessent talking about how he has a sliding scale of retaliation for Chyna, all according to keikaku:

It took me a while to figure out who Bessent really reminded me of. He's not Kuro, because he's too powerful in his planning for such an early arc character. We have to find another weeb vessel for him, he's Aizen from Bleach:

Agreed, I just think it’s probably false a lot of the time. One easy thing to check is if the claims are coming from combat vets who were actually exposed to loud things happening. It should be almost impossible to claim it just from training and paperwork or potato peeling

Meanwhile, music people with Tinnitus still are able to continue their careers. How is anybody 100% disabled from working because of Tinnitus

I misread this as George Lucas and didn't once stop to question what I was reading.

Someone else gets it.

But why? Why would Trump want left wingers to win who will probably be more hostile to him then right wingers?
Can anyone explain this?

Guys just nuke Iran or something. Do funny chaos and shit

Amazon trying to avoid blame:

This will backfire because tariffs are based off of the import price, not retail price so when people do the math they’ll realize that they’ve been overpaying for cheap Chinese junk for years and get pissed at Amazon for ripping them off.
