How in sam hill are their vowel Vs and consonant Us in this‽

IIRC their word was something like “Kolba”

That presumes that all of that 3% of Indigenous folks are of pure indigenous american decent, which for a variety of reasons, doesn’t really jive with the reality of things.

Fact of the matter is that what people primarily identify as rarely reflects the whole story of their heritage, and even people who’s families are seemingly untouched by outside influence in centuries turn out to have a great grandparent who only signed documents the way they did because they were told to at Ellis Island when the clerk Americanized their name.

Probably from social isolation by everyone who did do that.

Like if the rich asshole kids wanna mark themselves out by skipping out on a national service that’s their prerogative, just the same it’s everyone else’s to make judgements about them based on that.

That “some of y’all never worked a service job and it shows” tweet hits a lot harder when there’s a federal budget for the messaging about the good of lending a working hand to your fellow countryfolks.

I mean now that I’m thinking of it, that’d be absolutely right, only way to make it more Hawaiian would be to find a way to get some tarro on it too.

My guess is the only reason ham was used is because it was made up before spam caught on.

Also the guy who did it was Canadian, so non zero chance he was just pulling the recipe out of his own ass.

STUPID SEXY STRIPES!

Probably, but I had to hand trace it because I didn’t know how to get a more stylized one onto the page lol

Required I think doesn’t cut mustard, like I said, it should be required only when all other possibilities to address a labor shortage crisis have been exhausted.

Required service is something you do when you’re in a weakened or threatened position with what you’re invoking it for, so doing it unnecessarily just doesn’t help quite as much as one might think.

There’s better ways to address a perceived national attitude problem than forced labor.

Probably Hawaiian/Filipino diaspora. Those guys love spam, to the extent of innovating fusion dishes centered around it.

I mean a national labor corps with incentivized participation isn’t the worst idea. Gives people the opportunity to get work experience without necessarily having to understand their career direction in life.

Shouldn’t be a draft in any circumstances but absolute crisis situation, like essential infrastructure is on the brink of total collapse and regular pay incentives aren’t getting bodies on it fast enough.

Who knows, might get some people into work they didn’t realize they’d gel with, plenty of inspector positions are behind work load and I’ve got s feeling a part of that is just people not knowing the work is out there.
