The payment for a “severe” injury is 3 million rubles (nearly $29,000), and for a “minor” injury, 1 million rubles (nearly $10,000). For “other minor injuries,” soldiers will receive compensation of 100,000 rubles ($960), according to Russian state news agency TASS. The decree signed by Putin does not specify how the severity of a given injury is classified.

How much do you want to be that full limb loss is now considered “other minor injuries”?

Instead of ordering a new wave of conscription, Putin ordered an increase in the sign-on bonus for new military recruits to serve in Ukraine to 400,000 rubles (over $4,600), effectively doubling the lump-sum payment of 195,000 ($2,260) rubles initially promised to recruits in September 2022.

This will be great for moral. Imagine being one of the soldiers that signed up for $2260 and the new guys are coming in getting $4600? New soldiers have to know that that bad blood will have them forced into the most dangerous or suicidal roles because the guys there before you are pissed off. Who would sign up for that?

There was no movement for a LONG time, even after first responders arrived. Thems all dead.

At least with Trump the insanity is out in the open. I mean these cabinet picks are insane. It would be funnier if we didn’t have to live with the consequences.

Do you not get that Trump will likely get two more Supreme court appointments? The third branch of our government is locked into conservative hands for the next 30 to 40 years now regardless of who gets elected afterward.

Or saw that both sides probably lead to the same end eventually.

Get out of here with that false equivalency bullshit. Trump’s cabinet picks so far are a Russian propaganda parroter for head of CIA, an anti-vax and raw milk advocate for Health and Human Services, a white supremacist tattooed person for Defense secretary and a suspected pedophile that is having their ethics hearing results blocked for Attorney General.

Do you even think for a hot second that Harris would have make such unqualified and toxic choices for her cabinet?

I almost can’t blame them. A majority of Americans voted for fascism and racism. These are their customers.

I like the end result that ISPs are pushing back on this, but don’t mistake this for altruism on their part.

Their businesses make money selling internet service. Were they to support cutting off those accused of piracy, they would be losing paying customers. Further, the business processes and support needed for this to function would be massively expensive and complicated. They’d have to hired teams of people and write whole new software applications for maintaining databases of banned users, customer service staff to address and resolve disputes, and so much more.

Lastly, as soon as all of that process would be in place to ban users for piracy accusations, then the next requests would come in for ban criteria in a classic slippery slope:

• pornography
• discussions of drugs
• discussions of politics the party in power doesn’t like
• speaking out against the state
• communication about assembling
• discussion on how to emigrate

All the machinery would be in place once the very first ban is approved.
