  • Disagree. People do things for profit to a point. As a veteran who’s done security work, soldiers and veterans start because of a faith in doing the right thing. Security work doesn’t have that ideology. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather go home to my family over fighting off 500 people angry about their lives. It’s an entirely different motivation, with entirely different standards to be covered. Money doesn’t buy values or standards. And when you buy security, that security can be bought. Nobody is untouchable.










  • In my military experience, some people just understand the job. Same with manufacturing. You can be as smart as Einstein, and not understand the job. But some people just get the ins and outs on a different level. This guy is close to that level, but not on that level. He should never have been to that coffeeshop unmasked. Or at least changed clothes in an alley. It clearly took planning, and some experience with a gun but assuming military training is a bit far. To me it looks like he understood the job, with no training. If he had training, he wouldn’t have gone to Starbucks and wouldn’t have used a rented e-bike (unless he used a prepaid card to rent it).





  • Is it weird that I’m ok with people in the $50 mill range? Like yeah, they’re stupid rich. But they’re still closer to us than to people with $100 billion. And also, a lot of them just inherited it. Which is also bullshit, but they may not have done any evil to become that rich, necessarily. The question is whether or not they keep up with the evil. Bezos ex wife is a great example as she has spent tons of money on charitable organizations that opposed her ex husbands bullshit. There’s a handful of good, rich people out there, but they’re few, and far between.
