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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

 

[Monopolywheel]

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.

 

[Dagoth AMOGUS]

I really don’t think you win by losing.

 

[mandatorylurk]

With how the government treated Veterans, especially with Iraq and just leaving them to rot because Applebee's will give them a free meal every year thank you for your service, I learned to just be all for making up shit to get disability. So get yours, all those tranny lesbians who will never see active duty are going to get it, fuck them.

I have tinnitus from music shit and it sucks ass. Even in dead silence, there's always a constant EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. The worst thing is the random, painful ear ringing that happens.

I was a teenager in the 90’s, before the earth had seen homos wearing earplugs to concerts and before a lot of modern safety culture ruined everything. I also almost never had hearing protection when I’d go shooting with my dad. Maybe if I was wearing a beanie, I’d pull it down over my ears

My tinnitus levels are like, maybe every other month I’ll hear a tone for about thirty seconds, on average

I don’t even know what’s meant by “faulty earplugs.” It was little chunks of foam you stick in your ears, right?

i understand why but then it just becomes a third worldist tragedy of the commons

 

[Whoopsie Daisy]

Pissing off a man who is putting tariffs on everything, while avoiding paying tax by the billions, while your business relies entirely on importing/exporting chink shit that has been allowed exemptions, seems like a really, really, really, stupid fucking idea.

I hope Trump hits Bezos for so much back tax he has to hand Amazon over to the government and runs into hiding with his ugly, monstrously disgusting wife.

If you’re going to do it, at least try to wait until we settle this China shit?
