$100 million dollars less to spend on propaganda.
Absurd how much is spent on elections. They should get an hour a week on PBS and access to a beamer so they can connect their laptop for a powerpoint presentation.

Is it?
If you're unable to understand orders and have no combat experience, you're likely to be a burden and waste of equipment. They don't have the time to train people or teach them Ukrainian.
JFK.
They're not unless you can speak Ukrainian and/or have military experience.
Tip of the iceberg: I'm a carer for an elderly parent, the other one is terminally ill and long estranged, my sibling has his own (mental-) health issues, and despite being well educated I am terminally unemployed with a CV that's more gap than employment. I am past 40. In many ways it is too late for me to get my life on track. I power on, but I gave up a long time ago, it hurts less than having dreams. My current pension plan is a rope. Money would make my life better, but there are people who are far more deserving.
What could you do? Vote for progressive parties, politicians that are in favour of affordable healthcare, decent social security, social housing and perhaps even UBI.
Don't do this for some random stranger on the internet. Do this for yourself.
There's this myth that the homeless are all lazy, mentally ill or drug addicts. That the unfortunate deserve their misfortune. That you reap what you sow. It's a comforting lie. Bad things happen to good people all the time. Life is not fair. You can do your best and still lose.
The reality is that plenty of homeless people have (hard science) degrees, are highly intelligent, worked really hard only to find their pension had been stolen from them, were otherwise ripped off, or got ill and couldn't afford the bills. This could happen to you. Statistically, it is likely that this will happen to someone reading this.
Vote accordingly and realise that those less fortunate than you, could be you 6 months from now, through no fault of your own or that a stupid mistake could leave you in the gutter.
As someone who's suffered severe depression for going on 20 years, I would suggest that sometimes the Klingon way is necessary. Outlive your enemies, live another day fueled by anger.
Consensual?
I'll take one for the team. Dress in a string bikini, hairy man ass hanging out, slap on some lipstick, kiss Donald Trump during a live press briefing and make it super sensual. Make it seem like we're lovers. "You're my...." look at cameras "best friend.... I... I... love you." run away weeping That could cost him a few thousand votes, which might be enough to swing the election if they're in a key district.
Or Angela Merkel. She has a twinkle in her eye.
