doing but you don't want to destroy the economy of the United States because you're mad at Americans. Don't do that.

All right. Apparently there's reporting that Trump is planning to sign some kind of order to remove trans from the military like on day one. And my question was, well first of all do you think that's true? Do you think it's true that Trump is planning to remove trans from the military? The argument would be that there's extra expense. I don't know if that's the reason though. Extra accommodations that are more than they want to do. Now I remind you in case you forget that the military is the one place that socially we allow massive discrimination. You get that, right? In the military very overt discrimination is acceptable and required. For example if you weigh 400 pounds and you try to join the military nobody's going to say oh stop being fat phobic and let the 400 pounder in. Nobody says that. If somebody has a disability and it's a disability that would be important if you were in a military action, nobody says hey what about the Disabilities Act, you're discriminating. Nope, nobody says that.

Now where discrimination is not allowed is where it doesn't make sense. So allowing people of all races in the military, does that make your country more or less safe? More safe. Because if every part of the public can also be part of the military that does a lot to make you feel like the credibility of the whole system, we're all on the same page, we're fighting for the same thing. I mean that's really good. So that kind of discrimination, race or religion in most cases, wouldn't make any sense. There's no upside to stopping it but there's a big upside to doing it.

But with trans there are statistically at least big differences in availability I'm told. I don't know that for sure so if you want to fact check me I welcome it. And it costs more medically to keep your situation going and you could imagine it might cause some dissension in ranks or something. I'm not too worried about the dissension because that was true when the military integrated and we just had to get over it. So it's not the complaining I would worry about. Is does it really make your military less capable? That's the only thing that should matter. So we'll see.

But I didn't know how many trans were in the military and could be up to 15,000 but not necessarily people who have ever had any surgery but might be in that category of trans according to the AP. I don't know if that's true or not.

Well ladies and gentlemen this would be the time to order your Dilbert calendar. Do it fast because they're making them as they're ordered and you don't want to order it a week before
