I mean of course, pretty secure government job in the ultimate authoritative force in the galaxy.
If you come from lower ends of the Galaxy, of course you would sign up.

Like military recruiters going to lower end schools.
There's going to be pros and cons to the Empire versus the Republic

It's just an annoying precedent.

Yes, the Empire is evil, you should depict them as evil, but you shouldn't make them SO evil, all the time, to the point that it makes zero sense for people to join or support them. Stormtroopers are also supposed to be human beings with their own thoughts and lives from thousands of different cultures around the galaxy. It's like the writers are afraid that if they depict them as anything other than puppy-kicking goosesteppers that are also borderline retarded that they'd be like... I dunno, endorsing the Empire or something?

It's like a Saturday morning cartoon villain who keeps murdering all his henchmen for no reason and his plans always fail. Why the fuck would you work for the guy?

Also the Separatists were right and if Palpatine didn't exist they'd probably be the defacto good guys in the setting, given the Republic being corrupt and ineffective was not actually a Palpatine invention, he merely took advantage of it.

i dont think one can really blame the decline of the republic on the sith alone, i think palpatine merely saw the situation for what it was and started manipulating and exploiting it to gain power
like, i really don't think that the trade federation built up its huge droid army and fleet of warships and carried out the blockade and invasion of naboo solely because of the whispers and vague promises of sheev in disguise. for something like this to even be possible in the first place the existing power structure of the republic must already have been in a state of erosion and deterioration for a very long time.

No, I think you're overthinking it too much.

When you realize that we're viewing it from the worst end of it, you realize they will be those who don't have any idea how bad it really is.
Remember the Empire pulled off Order 66 so well that there are many who don't even think the Jedi were real.
That and it is a whole galaxy so a lot of events are so removed from each other that they can censor it with ease.

Again much like real life.

Problem is there are those that only operate from a surface level of the story.
There will be those who have had a increase in quality of life across the board, but with no clue of the costs to get them there

ADP's numbers are the most accurate it seems. Considering all of the big tech layoffs, though, it shouldn't surprise anyone that there were lower job numbers in July. Trump is just fragile about it though.

.... It was mainly at the behest of Count Dooku, who was working under Sheevster?

Didn't he set them up to fail?
 
If the sentiment of dissatisfaction with the republic didn't already exist, Palpatine would've had nothing to capitalize on to stoke conflict.

Palpatine was just a senator before the outing of Valorum, so I think it's safe to say that the Republic sucking ass was a pre-existing fact of galactic politics rather than JUST the shadowy machinations of Plagueus and Sidious.

NUH UH.

The blockade of Naboo was in place before the death of Qui-Gon, so Dooku would've still been a jedi.

I'm not saying Palps manufactured it holy unto himself, but they definitely worsened the scenario for everyone involved threefold.

Perhaps Griffith is too harsh of a comparison

It probably wouldn't have even gotten to full-scale war without the Sith meddlings

Let's be fair to him, he merely sucked shit right out of the oldesters asses. Poor little guy hasn't been able to get his dick hard since his bible thumping mother put clothespins on his dick. She went full bible thumper after years of being a whore. That's the reason why he calls everyone smarter, better looking, and more successful "bible thumpers" It's a classic case of mother issues leading to faggotry and retardation.

If you want to be sad for someone, be sad for the beard he beats the shit out, it's horrible and I wish she could get some help.

It absolutely wouldn't have, mostly because the Republic hadn't had a standing army for hundreds of years by that point. Without the clones each system would've needed to pony up their own local army (like Naboo in Episode 1) and the entire thing would be massively uncoordinated, war simply wouldn't be an option.

Even without Palpatine, the separatists would still be well-organized, well-funded, and have massive support from hundreds of systems simply because the systems that were already members of the C.I.S. were more focused in their goals and logistics than the bloated as fuck Republic. That was literally the point of the confederacy.

The Republic, even under Palpatines thumb, took months to deliberate on and approve something as simple as taking out a loan to requisition more clone units as they were losing the war. The Separatists would completely rape them.

Especially since clone army only exists due to Sith shenanigans™ right?

Imagine if the Separatists pulled up with the droid army and said "we're fucking leaving"

We even started a thread on her for her attempts to create that database. Haven't looked at it for a long time so have no idea about the status of it.
Edit: I was wrong for the reason for the thread's creation.

Trumps new Ballroom plans for the east wing of the white house is causing establishment DC to have a collective meltdown. Noooooo, you can't just expand the white house with an event space that looks like a Neo-Classical palace!


Personally though I agree with people saying it was long over do. Having to hold state dinners in a fucking tent on the lawn is really stupid. Trump is also the right kind of President to build the project. I shudder to think what Modern Archtecture monstrosity would have been attached to the white house like a tumor had a Democrat done it.
