Yeah, this seems like a sort of position paper for a medical association. Here it’s less about serious harm and more about a general lack of benefits.

How many accomplishments/benefits of the UN are you aware of/can conveniently list?

I expect that any such proposal would be vetoed upon reaching the Security Council.

Important to remember, nobody thought the Security Council was actually a good idea. We added it because it was necessary to prevent the UN from meeting the same fate as its predecessor the League of Nations–fizzling out due to not enough big countries joining something that would limit their power.

It’s not a good system, it’s just better than nothing, and nothing was basically the alternative that the UN arose from. In that regard it has been very successful.

Even worse, apparently only a single base had all the supplies for it. That was a single point of failure that, when struck, caused the failure of the entire supply mission.

You’d think the Navy would be a little better prepared. Here I thought redundancy was an important part of military conduct and operations.

But the dozen or so workers on board didn’t seem bothered.

I mean, yeah, they’ve still got that whole “earn a paycheck” thing to worry about.

I have a feeling this has probably been studied, but I’m not a sociologist so I wouldn’t know where to look.

I mean, tbf that was admittedly last millennium.
