The “permanent” disqualification is a little sus to me though. If it were just a low score, a kid could just retake test.

It also just says “test” so it’s conceivable it could have been the initial strength test the marine recruiters give. He probably couldn’t do a pull up and they told him to gently caress off.

quote:It was a very specific economic idea that challenged the generally accepted keynesian ideas of the post-war west and flipped the idea on its head. "smooth out the economy by taxing booms and spending during busts" and "government spending should focus on creating jobs and investing in the public in order to stimulate the economy" It was a consequence of the financialization of the economy. Once the industrial economy could be shipped overseas and the accumulated capital kept here, the economy was just Wall Street. And the best way to stimulate Wall Street has been the republican initiatives, lowering upper income rates, capital gains and privatizing the plebes’ finances by moving from pensions to 401k, or the real prize: privatization of social security.

Segue posted:The one thing I always wondered is if everyone gets these massive summer holidays, what about essential and service workers? Are they just out of luck, or second class? Is it only professional workers that get to take August off? You just define “everyone” to not include service workers. Easy peasy. Even easier if you only hire service workers who aren’t white.
