People forget that national guard isn’t a full time position. It’s usually one weekend a month and one week a year.

So calling them up is very disruptive to them, they have jobs and lives that are being massively interrupted by a call up. When it’s to deal with flooding or wild fires, or like any sort of actual emergency, that disruption is probably justified to them.

This is definitely pissing off a lot of them, especially given that they’re best positioned to see what a non issue the situation on the ground is.

That's not even a drop in our budget though. He could do that every day for the rest of his term and it's only around a billion. I wish our government cared about throwing away billions, but they consider it chump change. We're fucked.

I wonder how many people could have their medical debt erased with $1million per day...

Gotta spend what we're saving on social services somehow.
