Why would the pentagon have any say in this? Or is it just within the defense agency? Either way, this feels like a waste of taxpayer money for them to be fighting about this instead of, well I dunno, maybe focusing on national defense...
People have always been out for themselves, it's not the fault of religion and religion is not the solution. Religion can give an outlet to those looking for structure and community in their lives, this can both be used for good and exploited in equal measure. The reason it feels more common that people are out for themselves is 3-fold: the internet has caused a weird bubble culture where you feel the need to make a name for yourself within the social media you are consuming especially with a growing population where it's harder than ever to feel like you even matter, a growing divide in economic class where the people at the bottom feel the need to pull themselves up any means necessary, and an increased amount of rich people being given a platform to preach their success/luck to anyone they want as an additional status symbol whether or not it's moral or even true
All the healthy stuff eaten by wolves leaving the packaged chocolate bars near the entrance/exit as the safest untouched items you can grab before the wolves get to them/you... I see no flaws in this plan.
I'm from South Jersey, not sure who is keeping the Olive Gardens open but it's not me. I don't know what you're looking for, but it's a nice state for the most part, but I'll admit I'm biased. I think most of the shit is because New York and Philadelphia have us sandwiched in between them and they're very vocal cities with a lot of pride in themselves so we're the easy punching bag. Just don't force us to pump our own gas and there won't be any problems!
Statistically, at least half of changes are just indentation anyway
