Minutes later, Rep. Dave Pinto, DFL-St. Paul, the committee co-chair, compared blaming higher work pay for causing higher prices to the impact shoplifting has on higher prices. He started by mentioning a presentation on the impact of organized retail theft he'd heard in a public safety committee the day before. "There was a presentation of a group seeking to change how we address organized retail theft," he said. "And it actually had not occurred to me to ask, it probably would have been good, to make sure that they would study the benefit of shoplifting and of retail theft. Because perhaps people are relying on that and using that, and maybe it's assisting them in some way." read more

You got TrumpRot, he's eaten your brain.
You know I'm no fan of Hegseth. And there's PLENTY to hit him on. He's disgraceful.
But paying for lobster and steak is not some frivolous DoD expanse. Same with ice cream and doughnuts.
It's a standard way of taking care of troops and giving them a nice meal to boost morale"often during a long deployment. Like the USS Ford that is gone for 11 months:
And there are ~4,500 personnel just on that one ship. And there are many ships deployed right now"and they have been for much of the last year.
A good meal is one of the few nice and celebratory things for them to look forward to.
They're missing countless birthdays, weddings, funerals. Deployments are hard. Food is often a rare highlight. And not frivolous.
