Lol okay guy. I'm just an O-4 FA50 force manager with 14 years of service. What do I know...

Are you just making stuff up like usually do? 2010 was nearly the height of the military's end strength from 1999-current. There were zero recruitment concerns then and it we were halfway through two wars. https://www.everycrsreport.com/reports/IN11780.html

Sure but most of your vested retirement money is likely coming from your contributions--not the company match. Meaning you made the decision to start focusing on retirement which is a good thing. We've gotten a lot better educating Soldiers on personal finance in the last decade. A lot of...

Let's be honest, most single contract guys won't contribute to their TSP anyways so you would have only received 1% automatic contributions. And nothing prevented you from contributing to your TSP when you were in. You just wouldn't have received the 5% match and 1% auto contribution which...

This isn't true at all. The implementation date for BRS was 01 JAN 2018 and the planning for it began years before that. We didn't have recruitment issues then. The change to the BRS was merely a cost savings measure. It pushes part of the retirement benefit from the DOD budget to the market...

So why hasn't ford increased the supply? Are they complicit in the nonstop price gouging? I know you essentially will take all orders at MSRP, but many Ford dealers will not and they've completely ruined any chance of me buying a vehicle from them. I'm not sure the dealership model works...

You'd be right on the Maverick if it weren't for Ford dealers. Almost all of them tack an ADM on to the maverick still.

I have USAA and NFCU. You should have joined NFCU yesterday.

You seem to think about dicks a lot. Are you sure you aren't projecting some internal feelings on the outside world?

I have no idea to be honest and had no idea who he was until the articles exploded about his arrest. But I do know you don't get accused of those sorts of crimes by being a nice guy so he's probably an asshole either way. The only articles I see say he was released from house arrest and still...

Controversial influencer Andrew Tate has been charged in Romania with rape, human trafficking and forming an organised crime group to sexually exploit women. I think I'm okay with not agreeing with this guy's opinion. The irony is that he's likely someone else's bitch now that he's in jail.

Because my wife wanted an X3? Do you pick out your spouse's vehicle? Probably more than you think, but less than those who have. It's certainly assisted in pushing through 'mass adoption'. But EVs still only account for about 1% of vehicle sales IIRC.

Uhh okay?

You see those dates on the left under the members' name? And thanks for clarifying that you're not actually interested in facts--just spreading BS. AKA, you're just as bad as the "green energy" crowd. Ironic calling anyone else ignorant.

To be clear, Im not making an argument that people on this forum should spend their money on an EV. You can spend it how you like. I've merely taken the time to correct propaganda that continues to get spread ITT by providing actual facts about EV ownership. And additionally, auto...
