TIL that during the Cold War, the FBI and Air Force created "Operation Washtub." Due to Alaska's close proximity to the Soviet Union, US intelligence experts were concerned that it was vulnerable to attack. The plan was to recruit Alaskan citizens and train them as a guerilla force of spies. io9.gizmodo.com/declassif…

Ronald Reagen is the single worst thing to happen to the United States, and the 8 years he served as President can widely be attributed to the downfall of the attainable American Dream

Fuck him, all of the idiots that think he’s one of the β€œgreatest presidents ever” are fucking delusional.

All I know is, I’m still waiting for my wealth to trickle down!

EDIT: Now that this has reached r/all I suppose I should address all the conservative dipshits in here. First of all, I’m recently college educated and newly employed with a salary. All the room temperature IQs in here like β€œquit waiting for welfare”, β€œget a job”, β€œmake your own wealth” are sorely mistaken and I feel sorry that you are so uneducated and misinformed. It really doesn’t take much to realize something is inherently wrong with capitalism, and if you think otherwise, it’s quite obvious you’ve been brought up in an environment that doesn’t require you to endure what a substantial percentage of the US population has to endure every single day just to survive and put food on the table. I don’t think between housing in an urban area and student loan payments that I should instantly have to squander away 50% of my income with no equity whatsoever, whereas people before Reagan were able to buy a car, property/land, and save money at substantially higher interest rates. To the rest of the idiots who are like β€œwow, no argument points whatsoever!”, read through the comments and pick any one of the literal hundreds of atrocious and factual things that Ronald Reagan did.
