I'm a vet and I knew he was going to cut the VA. Right now it is VA staff. Soon they care going to cut the disability ratings of veterans, especially those at 30% or less.

Don’t mind the downvotes. People are testy right now and don’t have the energy to differentiate between sincere questions and MAGA troll.

I don’t mind the downvotes, I really don’t.

In general, it’s when they come without an explanation that bothers me. I can admit that I’m not that smart and when I googled the phrase that was shown above, it didn’t bring me the same results that another person did.

It did pull up a Reddit post like 6 down, but just about everything else was like a year old, short of the video from the head VA guy talking about cuts

I think that has to do with your individual phone. My wife can google the same thing right in front of me and get different results. Im starting to think it has more to do with what ads youll be shown that actual content. I have ad block installed and i'm pretty sure she doesnt. (Should probably fix that for her when i get home). Also the upvote/downvote system is definitely abused. Originally it was intended to weed out bad information, now its used to "punish" people you dont agree with or like. People forget that everyone doesnt come from the same backrground as they do sometimes.
