Seeing Tom Scott and MatPat being called the “old internet” might be the thing that puts me in retirement

Actual live-in nurses are pretty rare and very expensive, but I think you’re overestimating how common they are.

Most of what you see is just caretakers who come during the week on a set schedule, which is usually a lot more affordable than nursing homes because you’re paying for someone’s labor versus labor + living accomodations.

To answer your second question, it would cost whatever rate the nurse agreed to work for. It would have to be pretty competitive. In most cases, having to live at the patient’s house isn’t seen as a benefit of the job.

This kind of “America did nothing in WW2” rhetoric is almost as r-word’ed as “America soloed WW2.” You’re an idiot if you think America was “years late” and didn’t play a huge role in the European front. Not even to address the Pacific Theatre.

America did play a rather isolationist position prior to pearl harbor.

Britain did play a rather isolationist position prior to the invasion of Poland. It’s just a feature of diplomacy to avoid armed conflict at all costs. Kind of like when Britain secured “peace for our time” by offering Czechoslovakia to Hitler as a Sacrificial Lamb..

they didn’t actively put boots on the ground until shit got really close.

False comparison. There was no alternative to “boots on the ground” for the European Allies when the war happened in their backyard, but there was certainly an alternative to the U.S. offering a quarter-trillion dollars (adjusted) in aid to Europe.

Some would say 1935, with the invasion of Ethiopia. There’s also a large body of historians who view WW1 and WW2 as being a single event. To sort of piggy-back off my above reply, the idea that WW2 “began” in 1939 is as Anglocentric as Americans thinking it started in 1941.

Materiel delivered under the act was supplied at no cost, to be used until returned or destroyed.

Dead Rabbit Radio, been shamelessly shilling it (not my podcast and I’m not affiliated with it any any way) for the better part of five years. Daily paranormal and weird news episodes and Jason Carpenter doesn’t have all the cringey seriousness that most high strangeness podcasts have.

Nothing positive. View it the same way as tobacco or alcohol companies

Not only that, but he even made a video specifically elaborating on when and why he was leaving.

Better comparison would’ve been Sam O’Nella

Do you know what the word shill means?

Milwaukee and DeWalt dads go into cripping debt trying to one-up each other with home renovations every year

Ryobi dads sit at the back of the bus.

Makita dads fuck the other three dads wives

Makita is honestly the way to go if you really work in the trades. The extreme top-range specs of DeWalt or Milwaukee’s tools could (and should, IMO) be easily surpassed with a cheap corded tool.

I don’t know how it is in Europe, but Bosch tools here are incredibly hit-or-miss between products. A driver might last five years but a jigsaw only a few weeks. I don’t know of they contract out more work than other cordless makers, but I’ve never known a major brand to have as big of a quality gradient as them.

Sort of like how 7/10 became synonymous for average

People start families when they feel socially and financially secure. Seems like a pretty easy solution then, if you’re not a oligarchical corporatocracy.
