  Everyone saying he is a brave man fail to realize this is just internal propaganda so general populace think they have someone looking out for them and they'll be safe from these injustices coming next mobilization, only things this really tell us is the february 24th renewed push is likely true
context: Considering this is staged (because of course it is), that's some really interesting data. When you need to stage a message saying you illegally sent 9k people, then how many did you *really* send? Because it feels like there is no point staging this unless it is to get ahead of the message. And I imagine if the true number was just 20k, he would't have bothered. >
  
  9K is a good number. It's big enough so that they cannot all be individually named and become an anonymous blob, small enough to not cause major outrage (in context to the war) and therefor good enough to cover everyone who was send there illegally. Oh, your son got sent there too without proper legal procedures? Well our village sure is unlucky, we got about 120 out of the 9 thousands. Our local government seems to have fucked up. >
  
  I like how it’s a number JUST under 5 digits. Like it couldn’t be 10,000 people? Kinda like going into the 99 cent store thinking you’re getting a deal because it’s under a buck. This is obviously bullshit. >
  
  Psychologically, the 99 cent store thing actually works.  Same reason gas prices always have the 9/10s added on, at least around here. >
  
  But what if malpracticing employees just started carrying a lot of 1ct coins around and pocket the 5 dollar bill anyway?? >
  
  Lots of pennies will be heavy and awkward to carry around, and the customer will more likely notice something funny is going on and expect their receipt. >
  
  You just have to keep a dozen pennies in your pocket, could potentially be a lot of money for one day. >
  
  60$ is not a lot of money for one day >
  
  As a one-time thing, no, but to someone working at a gas station for minimum wage? $7.25 an hour for 8 hours a day is only $58, so if you manage an average of $60 a day on top of that (tax-free since it's cash and off the books), you've more than doubled your income. Not sure how realistic that figure really is using this strategy though, and it looks even worse when you factor in the chances of getting caught.
