Here we are in QuickBooks Desktop sample rock castle construction practice file provided by QuickBooks going through the setup process we do every time. Maximizing the home page to the gray area going to the view drop down noting we've got the hide icon bar and open windows checked off open windows on the left hand side. Going to the reports drop down company and financial opening up the profit and loss report tab doing the date range change from 010124 to 123124. That's January through December customizing that report going to the headers and the footer so we can change the font on up to 12. Yes, OK, then reports drop down again company and financial this time the balance sheet standard going to change the dates with the drop down this time. Looking at this fiscal year 2024 for us, we're going to go to the customizing of the reports fonts and numbers to bring that font up to 12 again. OK, yes, OK, there's the setup process we've been doing every time in the prior section we focused in on the major financial statement report of the balance sheet. Now we're going to focus on the other major financial statement report known as the P and L profit and loss or income statement. That's the first thing we want to note within QuickBooks from QuickBooks terminology. We call it the profit and loss when you think of normal accounting terminology will typically be called the income statement. In essence, we have the same report here if you wanted to change the name to be providing to someone else that's custom to the term of the income statement. You could go to the customized reports as we've seen before headers and footers and simply change the title of the report to an income statement. If you so choose going to close this back out. I would also like to like take a look at the chart of accounts. So let's go to the list dropdown and open up the chart of accounts which we've seen in prior presentations. Remembering that the chart of accounts is going to be that baseline that we got to lay down before we start entering financial transactions that with the forms that are on the home page, the icons on the home page in order to create the financial statements from them to create the financial transactions from them to create the financial statements balance sheet income statement and related reports. Now in prior presentations we looked at the balance sheet remembering that if we look at the order of our types, we have in essence balance sheet on top of the income statement or profit and loss, assets, liabilities, equity and then income and expense. Further broken down into banking accounts receivable other current assets fixed assets credit cards in the liability section now other current liabilities long term liabilities equity and then income statement accounts income and expense. Further broken down into income cost of goods sold a special expense and then other expenses so that's where we're looking at at this point noting that the expenses category is usually kind of the longest category, meaning we have the most different kind of accounts within the expense category than any other typically back to the profit and loss. The profit and loss shall note has a range of time instead of a point in time when we looked at the balance sheet we said where do we stand as of this point in time. So if we were looking at the time frame of January through December the balance sheet will show us where we stand. For example the cash account how much money we have in the bank as of the end of that time frame the point in time of December 31, 2024. The profit and loss or income statement shows us the activity performance over time. So it's important to kind of see the relationship between these two and that's shown on the balance sheet here which is a little weird for QuickBooks or it's a little weird for financial reporting but QuickBooks does it. So if you go down here you see that on the income statement we've got the net income down below which normally would be in retained earnings and you can see it will roll into retained earnings. If I switch the date on up to the 25th you can see down here now that amount rolled into retained earnings and we only have what happened in the year of 2025 for this practice file back to 2024. And so that's meant to kind of show us the relationship between the balance sheet and the income statement. So in other words remember that the balance sheet is where we stand we can think of it in terms of assets is what we have, liabilities is what we owe to a third party. The equity then is the net value in the company for the owner whether that be a sole proprietorship or needs to be broken out between a partnership or needs to be broken out between the shareholders of a corporation. The next step would say okay well if the value of the company in total from a book standpoint is 219-629-60 how did we get there? What's the performance that happened to get to that point in time? For that we're going to look at the income statement a performance report which is going to help us see how we got from point A to B meaning how we got from the prior balance sheet standpoint before this time to the current balance sheet point at this point in time. That was the work that we did that's reported in the profit and loss. So if I go to the P&L you can think of it, I would think of it kind of like if you're trying to see how far a car can drive within a certain timeframe like an hour or a day. So you reset the odometer to zero, you drive for a day and you see how far you got at the end of the day. That's kind of like what the income statement is doing. We reset it each time to zero and then we let it run up between the timeframe in this case January through December to see where we stand and how far we went from the two time ranges. That's why you have to have a time range. So we're going to do the same thing we did on the balance sheet. I'm going to try to minimize everything with a little carrots here. So we'll minimize everything here and I'm going to go from the inside to the outside as much as I can when we do the minimization. So here we have that. Here we have that. Okay. And then I'll minimize all the expenses. The cost to good soul looks good. And then the other other stuff. So here is the income statement now from the most basic standpoint of an income statement if you had like a what we would call a single step income statement. We would only have income and then expenses right income and then expenses because income represents money that's coming in. And notice when we talk about money coming in it's on an accrual basis we'll get into that in a little bit more detail shortly. But basically we're talking about earnings versus in essence money going out or we'll ultimately go out things that we expended in order to generate the revenue which are going to be the expenses. These two things should be linked from an accrual standpoint. We want to link them in the same time frame because remember this is in this this time frame of this year. So the income that we generated within the year we would like to link it to what we had to expend within the same time period to generate that revenue. That's the that's the general idea so that we can then use that to look at performance and compare that to another year. The following year for example or the preceding year to look at our performance over time as well as compare it to other companies. Then we add a little bit more complexity what in what we would call this is more of a multi step income statement as opposed to a single step income statement. It still only really has income and expenses but we've got some pit stops along the way because we have some very important expenses that we want to emphasize in some subtotals that we want to emphasize along the way. Let's pull out the trusty calculator. So here we've got income and then cost of goods sold. So the cost of goods sold represents then us selling inventory in order to generate revenue because if you're in a business that sells inventory that is such a huge expense.  That's why oftentimes we want this subtotal. That's where this subtotal comes into play income minus the cost of goods sold gives us the gross profit. And then we're going to take all the other expenses are pretty much all the other expenses group them into one category or normal operating expenses you might call it to get down to the net ordinary income. So the net ordinary income represents our performance for this this time frame in case in this case this year. And then we've got other income and expenses these will include things that are not part of our normal operations but our income and expenses. Oftentimes people put financing charges down here because if you have an expense that is interest expense then that's that's really a financing thing it's not really part of our normal operations. If we had the cash flow we wouldn't have that financing charge so maybe we would like to see net income but without it and then add it at the bottom or if I had interest income for example. That's another one where we're not really in the business in this case as a construction company of loaning out money and generating interest income we're not in the business of finance you know investing for example some companies may be in that business in which case that might be part of their ordinary income but if it's not and you got some interest income maybe you don't want to include that in the ordinary income because it's not part of your normal operations and therefore you put it down here on the bottom to get to the net income. So in our multi step income statement we've got income four five four six five seven point one four minus cost to get sold one eight oh one two four point one nine gets to the gross profit two seven four five three two ninety five minus normal expenses operating expenses you might call it one five five eight five one point five three gets us to the net ordinary income and then we've got the other components other expenses in this case it looks like minus four seven three point two two and that gets us to our net income hold on a sec we've got to add that amount four seven three point two two that's income plus four seven three point two two that gets us to our one one nine one fifty four sixty four okay let's go into each of these a little bit more in detail we've got the income accounts first this is us generating revenue money going into the business and so note that this income account will typically be on an accrual basis by nature but it will also depend on the type of business you are in which if we go back to the homepage we talked about a business for example that might be a cash flow basis or might even be a step further from a cash flow basis one dependent on the bank in that case when you enter the deposit you might be entering the income at that point in time and you in the deposits are going to be the things that are going to be driving the income going up into the income form you'll basically be on a cash flow basis in that kind of industry that's a little bit unnatural for quick books because these two forms invoice and create sales receipts are usually the ones used to generate income or report income if you are on a cash based system with a register situation and you collect money or get paid at the same point in time you do the work like a food truck then you might put the money in with a sales receipt that would be the form that would be typically increasing the revenue account and you'd still basically be on a cash basis method but if you invoice the client that would be like a bookkeeping service CPA firm law firm then you're going to do the work first and you're going to record the income at the point in time that you do the work as opposed to when you receive the payment at a future point in time that's when you're going to be moving to more of an accrual kind of component the income here then is going to be reported when you earn the revenue typically and so if if that's when you have an invoice then that usually be the closest place to earning the revenue so income accounts usually there's only a few of them you might only have like one or two kind of income statement accounts oftentimes because income statement accounts represent the general category generally of what you do in order to generate revenue this one has more income statement accounts because we're in the business of a construction business with a job cost system which is designed a little bit differently it's a bit of a specialty area but oftentimes like if you just if you just do one thing you might have one income statement account and then you might be tempted to make other income statement accounts that will be like by customer by your large customers or you might try to make an income statement account by what you sell a bit too much detail of it like your inventory items or the services you provide but you don't want to break out too much detail in those categories because remember we have other reports they can break out those details meaning if I go to the sales icon and we saw in the reports area that we could have or we had we saw briefly and we'll go into them in more detail but you got the sales by customer report here which can take your income accounts your income line item and break it out by who you sold it to 53 it's 9695 and it doesn't tie that report hold on sale by customer let's change the dates from 010124 to 123124 and so now we've got this comes out to the total of 5452943 and so this comes out to the total income 454657 notice it might not tie out exactly because it's possible for us to report income without assigning a customer to it and you kind of have to be careful of that if you want to get the added detail of kind of that sub ledger report but if you have the capacity to break out that other report then you don't want to be making a bunch of income statement accounts that are broken out by customer the same thing is true with the with the items inventory items and service items if you go to the to the sales and we go sales by item summary changing the date up top from 010124 to 123124 so there we have it so we got the sales by item and once again if we scroll all the way down we've got the 45294325 and if I go to the profit and loss it's again a little bit 454 a little bit different because it is possible for us to record something to income without using an item and it's a little bit more difficult to do that when we do that we have a similar kind of sub ledgers comparison when if we look at the balance sheet like the accounts receivable can be supported by breaking it out by customer with a sub ledger account that one usually ties out pretty much exactly all the time because QuickBooks has internal controls forces you to use a customer when you when you record something to revenue it doesn't necessarily force you to use an item and it doesn't necessarily force you to assign a customer and that could be good because you might not want to sometimes but it also makes it so that you can have a difference between your sub ledger and your report here but in any case that's the income line items and then we've got the cost of goods sold which will only be there if you sell the inventory items now the cost of goods sold is going to be something that is recorded when you enter a sales item a sales receipt or an invoice typically if you're using inventory within QuickBooks on a perpetual inventory system if you're not using a perpetual inventory system and you're using a periodic inventory system you will have to kind of count the inventory periodically into the night into the week into the month so on and then record an adjustment decrease in the inventory account on the balance sheet and record in the other side to the cost of goods sold but there's the cost of goods sold and then we've got all of the expenses these are all the other expenses that we probably you know know of or think about when we're thinking of expenses the auto expense the bank expense insurance expense notice that we call these expenses by what we're going to be using them for right it's an automobile expense it's an insurance expense we don't call the expense the name of the vendor we don't say the auto expenses are you know for expense or something like that so that means when we enter these transactions into the system possibly using bank feeds these are the most common transactions with bank feeds that people would use they would come through as in essence a check form possibly if we wait till they clear the bank and then record them we got to use the vendor like in that case Ford company motor company to know what we paid for to categorize it as the proper expense like auto expense on the profit and loss or income statement so there we have those notice that these are in order by the account numbers because we turned on account numbers if they were not ordered by account numbers because we didn't have them turned on they would be ordered within this category in alphabetical order and then and so we have a little less control over that if we don't have account numbers and you could have a little more control by using these little accounts now these carets here are sub accounts so we have a sub account of the automobile automobile being the parent account notice they didn't post anything to actually automobile itself but instead used it as a parent account to then record stuff into fuel insurance repairs the sub account under the automobile account so that could be quite useful because it allows you to kind of put these things into the same area which is nice even if you don't use account numbers however it also makes this quite long and that now we've got a parent account and the total which adds two more lines than you otherwise would have if you didn't use that sub account and possibly you wouldn't use all these you could have one line just called automobile and that would be a lot shorter than this so notice that these sub accounts could add detail but they also that detail could be confusing at the same time so that's the balance that you're trying to reach how much detail do I want is the detail that I'm adding adding more value to to or is it or is it costing more than it's adding in terms of complexity so if I go to the to the let's take a look at the chart of accounts just to see that down here there's the sub account so you can see here here the normal accounts and then we just basically created a sub account if you go into the sub account or let's edit the sub account right click and edit an account you can see here we made it a sub account of insurance that's how you can set that kind of thing up let's go back to the profit and loss so we've got that for insurance and then if I expand all these out once again it comes out to a pretty long report also remember it's up to you to determine the names of these accounts note that you might be saying you might say hey look I want to create create an account I want the names to be whatever they are as if they're set in stone but they could there's some names that are going to be used for most businesses telephone utilities and so on but you might have some customization depending on the industry that you are in and there might be certain accounts that you think you want to put more focus on for whatever reason and you might name them differently you also might group the accounts differently you might for example under utilities just put all of these things into one utilities account because you don't think breaking them out into three accounts is worth your time in other words it doesn't give you enough valuable added information to make it worth the added space it's going to take or you might like to break them out right so you could say maybe I maybe I put the gas and water together in utilities and then put telephone separately because telephone you believe is going to be large enough to warrant another another account so these are questions that you got to kind of answer internally also realize that if you are taking the accounting process over from another business you want to be consistent with what they are doing and possibly slowly or gradually move on to something else or else you will lose comparability from the prior period to the current period you want consistency when you when you're doing that so usually if you're taking over a bookkeeping job you'll just try to figure out what happened in the past and mirror what they did into the future so that you can be consistent so that gives us our net ordinary income and then in the other income category we've got other income down here which they've got other income and interest income down below and that gets us to our bottom line of the net income so the net income then is basically income minus expenses on an accrual basis if we're in an accrual basis type of company in other words if we're using basically invoices on the income side and bills on the expense side of things and that shows us how we got from where we were before on balance sheet to the current point we are at so that's how it's connected to the balance sheet so if I go to the balance sheet we can look at then the equity section we can send it if we consider two periods let's customize up top and I'm going to take this from 12 let's take this from 010123 to 123124 and then let's break this out and make it by a year I'll make it by year and so now we've got the two years right so if I take assets minus liabilities gives us the equity of 2023 which was at 100,47496 and I look at where we stand assets minus liabilities in 2024 to 1962960 a big part of the story of how we've got from here to here is the past year of activity that happened we usually go one year back at a time the income statement we could go monthly back quarterly back that's the story of how we got basically from there to there there could be other things involved in the equity account that could be us putting money into the equity account and us basically drawing money out of the equity account which also can have an impact but you know that's the general idea that's how the income statement is related to the balance sheet the balance sheet in the income statement are the two main reports they are the main reports that are the double entry accounting system assets equal liabilities plus equity the equity section here then you might ask how does the income statement income and expenses fit into a double entry accounting system equation of assets equal liabilities plus equity it's because the whole income statement is part of equity it's breaking out the detail of the equity a year back the balance sheet is as of a point in time it's telling you a story about assets minus liabilities or in essence the equity section is one way that you can think of it


As a rule, high-ranking public health officials try to avoid apocalyptic descriptors, so it's worrying to hear those like the director of the CDC warn of a coming health nightmare and a catastrophic threat. A number of prominent publications recently warn of the threat of antibiotic resistance. The CDC estimates that at a minimum, more than 2 million people are sick and every year with antibiotic-resistant infections in the United States with at least 23,000 dying as a result. We may be at the dawn of a post-antibiotic era. Achievements in modern medicine such as surgery and treatment of preterm babies, which we today take for granted, would not be possible without access to effective treatment for bacterial infections. For example, without antibiotics, the rate of post-operative infection after a procedure like a hip replacement would be 40 to 50%, and about one in three of those patients would die. That's like Russian roulette odds. So the so-called worst-case scenarios where resistant infections could cost like $50 billion a year might still be an underestimate. From cradle to grave, antibiotics have become pivotal in safeguarding the overall health of human society. So the dire phrasing from head officials may be warranted. There are now infections like carbapenem-resistant entrobacter, resistant to nearly all antibiotics, even the so-called drugs of last resort. Worryingly, some of these last resort drugs are being used extensively in animal agriculture. According to the World Health Organization, more antibiotics are fed to farm animals than is used to treat disease in human patients. Doctors overprescribe antibiotics, but huge amounts of antibiotics are used in fish farming and other intensive animal agriculture, up to four times the amount used in human medicine. Why? Sub-optimum growth to slaughter weight caused by unsanitary conditions can be compensated with by addition of antibiotics to feed. Instead of leaving any stressful overcrowd to unhygienic conditions, it may be cheaper to just dose the animals with drugs. In this way, factory farms are driving the growth of antibiotic-resistant organisms that cause human diseases. This may help bolster the industry's bottom line, but in the process, bacteria are developing antimicrobial resistance, which affects human health. In the United States, the FDA reports that 80% of antibiotics in the United States are used in food animals, mainly to promote growth in this kind of high-density production. This can select for antibiotic-resistant bacteria like methicillin-resistant staph aureus MRSA or MRSA considered a serious threat in the United States. These industrial pig operations may provide optimal conditions for the introduction and transmission of MRSA. U.S. pork producers are currently permitted to use 29 different antibiotic drugs in feed without a prescription. They're currently added to about 90% of pig starter feeds. When animals receive unnecessary antibiotics, bacteria can become resistant to the drugs, then travel on meat to the store, and end up causing hard-to-treat illnesses in people. MRSA, present in retail raw meat, may serve as a possible source of bacterial infections for food preparers in the food industry and the hands of consumers in the home, unless we wear gloves. Once MRSA gets into our homes on meat, it can transfer to our cutting boards, knives, and onto our skin at a rate similar to the rate of transmission from touching an infected patient contaminated with MRSA. Washing of hands after touching raw pork is advised.


Tom here from Orange Systems and PF Sense Plus 22.05 has been released. This is not going to have a simultaneous release though with the CE or Community Edition, and I wanted to put that up front here for people wondering a couple of questions around this, including can you go back to the Community Edition if you did one of those in-place upgrades from the CE to PF Sense Plus, then PF Sense Plus 22.05. I bring it up like that because people want to be able to go back and forth or they're worried that the license that comes with a PF Sense Plus that comes for free when you get an arcade hardware or you have a free homelab edition or you can buy a support edition of PF Sense Plus, could you go back to Community Edition or are they so divergently different that you can't? And I actually did confirm and test this that there's no problem going from 22.05 back to Community Edition. Next, let's talk about the differences, which I have a video where I've talked about this before but of course, well, you can skip watching that video and we'll just cover real quick the differences right now between PF Sense Plus and PF Sense CE. Also, we'll cover that PF Sense CE is still being developed. Don't worry, they're not abandoning it. It's still being developed simultaneously with PF Sense Plus. So we'll cover that when we cover some of the release notes because you'll see some of the things that are similar between them. But the main differences between these two right now, and by the way, NETGATE, if you're listening and loved to make a place on your website where you can just compare the two, that'd be great. So I can link to it. But for now, these are the ones as far as I can remember off of my previous video and the new things added. And that is going to be the open VPN import tool is only in plus. So is QAT Crypto, ZFS widget, AWS VPN wizard, IPsec export, Apple profile, IPsec export, Windows PowerShell, ZFS boot environments that's new in 22.05 and open VPN data channel offload DCO. That's also going to be a PF Sense Plus feature only. And that's new to 22.05. So those are the current differences if you're considering moving to the plus edition. As I said, you can get it as a in place upgrade with your CE. And if you don't like it, you can go back to CE. It doesn't seem to break anything other than you'll lose access to those extra features that I had mentioned. Now, before we dive into details of this video, let's first, are you an individual or company looking for support on a network engineering storage or virtualization project?

And now back to our content. The first place I want to start is right here in their very visible, without a login, red mine issue report. So you can really see exactly what's being done, what changes were made, and there's quite a few changes that were applied to the 2105 plus edition. And you'll notice somewhat in parody, there's similar issues that were on the resolve closed list here for the 2.7 edition, that's the CE edition. So you can still see there's tons of active development here, pages of it matter of fact of closed issues that have, you know, all been fixed and resolved. There's still some open issues that, you know, need to be resolved so they have not finished the CE edition. But as I said, they're still being developed absolutely in parallel for those wondering it's very visible here. Now the first feature highlight is going to be data channel offload. And this is a really interesting feature. So we're going to go ahead and click on it and go right to the open VPN page on it. And essentially what's going on here is context switching limits the performance you can get by going in user space versus kernel space, that context switching has a performance cost to it. Data channel offload is not a new version of open VPN is a different implementation to the way the data channel is offloaded within the kernel. That gate did some work to bring this in a PF sense. But to give you an idea on a Linux client Linux server basis, here is the results of 2950 and speed from open VPN DCO versus your tunnel speed normally here versus when one client has DCO and the server has DCO or vice versa. So you have a couple of different scenarios, but when both systems use it, and this is going to be new, and it's currently beta, which is open VPN 2.6, they did integrate it into the PF sense system, you get the most benefit. So you may not get anything right away from this. It's kind of the groundwork laid for some future performance enhancements. But this is pretty awesome. The next and the one that we're going to be demoing here, there's also a demo by Christian McDonald, one of the developers, he talks about this as well a little bit more in depth than I will. His YouTube video is really clear on this. It's the ZFS boot environments. I love that they moved to make ZFS default on both community edition and PF sense plus ZFS is great for a integrity firewall system that just does a great job of recovering itself from maybe random power outages and things like that that sometimes happen with firewalls, unfortunately, and you want them to always boot up in a good state. ZFS is wonderful for integrity and not having many problems regarding that. In addition, those ZFS snapshots can be used to create boot environments, which is also a great enhanced feature. And this boot environment feature will demo it, but it's just really slick being able to create essentially snapshots to reboot the system and into whatever version you want and just jump back and forth between them very simply. They also moved captive portal to IPFW to PF on the past releases captive portal required IP firewall because PF lack features necessary to fully intimate captive portal functionality. However, using IPF came with the price of performance loss to do two packet filters loading and running traffic through both the firewall also use IPFW to manage traffic shaping via dummy net. So they did some reengineering. If you're a captive portal user, we don't really have many of these out in the field. Keptaportals is kind of a one off thing and I try to avoid them unless they're really necessary. Some people try to use them a lot more than I think they should. But hey, now that they've made some updates to it, you'll get some faster performance out of it. A few other notable changes fix for you PNP and multiple gaming systems. New gateway state killing options are from the failover. That's always welcome. And firewall net rule usability improvements such as buttons to toggle multiple rules and copy multiple rules that are interfaces. I'll show that that's actually kind of a nice feature. I just want to jump back over here to red mine and remind people that yes, some of these features targeted 2.7 plus target version 2205. This is that UPNP feature. So if you're on CE and you can go through all these resolve close, this is why I said there's a lot of process going on in tandem where they're targeting these updates and changes to both versions of PF sense, both the PF sense plus version and the PF sense CE version. Now I have my lab system spun up here running 2205 PF sense plus. And the first thing I want to talk about is the boot environment. Now this was set up with ZFS. If you have a system that doesn't have ZFS, this feature isn't going to be available. And the only way to get ZFS is going to be please back up first, grab your config file, reload PF sense, upload config file. And by default, when you reload PF sense, whether it's community edition or plus, they both will default to ZFS. So you can have a ZFS file system on there and just restore your config file, even if that config file was built without ZFS config file doesn't care of what file system the underlying OS was built on top of. But to get this feature working doesn't need to be ZFS. This is my default base version. And you can see here, if we do a little mouse over, we'll zoom in a little bit, make it easier to see, we have next boot environment is going to be this one, it is set to be default. So we can quick create a new boot environment and we can edit it. We'll just call it quick demo. Don't really need to give a description, but you can, you can put whatever you want in there. This is the one we're working on, but this right here is a frozen point in time of what this system looks like. So I can revert to it. How do you revert to it? Well, we can just click this and make it the next boot environment and reboot. Or we can temporarily make it the boot environment by a one time reboot. So we can actually just do quick demo and one time reboot to it. Matter of fact, let's go back, hit quick, create a couple more times. And as you see a create a couple of these, maybe you want different snapshots for different reasons. When you go back to do the one time, you'll actually see the list in there. So the different versions. This is really fun for a lab environment, because it's very quick to create these entire snapshots without even grabbing the config file. It's a file system level snapshot. And what do I mean by that? Well, we go system boot environments, and let's get rid of the extra ones I don't need. We're just going to delete these real quick. We'll leave this quick demo one. It's a snapshot before we made any changes. What change are we going to make? Well, let's load this as a change. As we go down here, we see there's a package needs to be update. I purposely left this package not up to date. So I could hit confirm here, wait for the package initialize, and it's going to go ahead and done. Now if we go back to boot environments, and we want to move over to the demo, the demo was the before I did that update. So currently the system is 100% up to date. But because this isn't just a config change, this is a file system update. If we go ahead and set this to be the active boot environment, or we can just do the one time, we'll do the one time real quick here. So we want quick demo one time to be booted. And we'll hit submit. And before we go and let it completely boot back up, I want to show you the boot environment options. And you can see active is going to be this one right here. But you can actually change these right in the menu, we're not going to change anything, we're gonna go ahead and let it finish booting up into that. So hit one, and just let it finish booting with the default parameters. But it's going to boot that version that was a snapshot prior to us doing that update. Now the system is booted back up. And we go down here. And we see that the sudo has not been updated because, well, we're on that other boot slice here. So we go back over to this boot environment. And you can see the difference in the difference in sizes, well, probably about the size of that sudo update that was on there. Now we can go back to this as the default boot environment, which technically it is, this is what it's running on now, because we didn't change it to be the default. The advantages of doing these one time environments, or in the instance where you may have a problem, where you want to do something that you're not sure if it's going to cause the same, the system to be an unbootable state, you can then change our demo here, like this, the next boot environment will be this quick demo one. Now we can make all the changes we want. If those changes lock us out of the firewall and that firewall happens to be remote or even if it's local, just unplugging the firewall and plugging it back in means this is the demo one that will come back up next time. So that way you can make a whole lot of changes.  But once you're done committing all the changes, make sure you set to the proper boot environment for each one, pretty straightforward, I think, and how they set this up. And we're going to go ahead and keep the quick demo one as it and get rid of this one, delete it, okay. And now this is the default boot environment, which means I should probably update that sudo package again over here. So this is now the default one, pretty easy to do. I like the simplicity of it. Now let's talk about the firewall rule update. We can go here and we're on LAN and this rule doesn't exist on LAN too. And if I'd like to copy this rule or many rules, but we'll just do one to keep it simple. And I want to copy this rule, where do I want to copy to I need the same rule over here and paste. Now on LAN to this rule exists over here without me having to go through and recreate it. It's got a couple extra settings at the bottom. Even the advanced settings that I did down here are now pulled over into this rule and you hit apply and you're done. You can now copy this over if you have many different segments, a whole lots of different subnets on your system, you can copy this rule over and makes it a lot easier. I like it. It's a simple change, but you know, not happen to duplicate the rule, edit and change it to the different interface is a pretty cool feature. Next thing is the open VPN data channel offload. I have not done, but a little bit of testing with it right here. I need to get a new version of open VPN setup in order to make this work properly, I believe, but it's just a checkbox. If you're wondering where the DCO enabled data channel offload for this instance, that's it. You turn it on or off on a per open VPN basis. All the other settings say the same, but of note, there are certain things that are not compatible. So if you had different ciphers selected, those ciphers cannot be selected for like your fallback right now is set to GCM 256 GCM. You can't have a different fallback if you're turning that on, as it's noted in the release notes of this, there are certain specific things that only work with DCO at this time, but there are more algorithms that will be supported in the future. Now, as far as rolling this out to all of our clients, it is June 28th of 2022. This was released on June 27th. That means we haven't really had a lot of time to get it rolled out to everyone. PF Sense plus or the community edition, both you have to log in and manually upgrade. So when people ask, how do we get all of our clients updated? Well, it's a project. We make sure we have backups, everything which we always do, and then we make sure we run around updating all these and make sure the update goes well scheduling the time of the client because well, there's some downtime for this update to be applied. We did it on our systems first because I want to make sure we're testing everything. Our system currently at our office runs HAProxy, runs the ACME service for certificates, runs WireGuard and OpenVPN, although we didn't test the Dantel channel offload in-house yet on our systems, the upgrade went fine and all the services work perfectly fine inside our production systems. We've tested some of our lab systems and a handful of other systems that were kind of in the process of deploying for clients. We're pushing all the upgrades to these. Looking forward to these updates and looking forward to the boot environments because that'll make upgrading these systems that are mostly remote or just the fact that you don't want to go onsite or something goes wrong a little bit better because the upgrade process itself for version upgrades will take advantage of the ZFS boot environments in PF Sense Plus.

Harold commanding General Fort Riley Kansas in commemoration of that military establishment's 100th birthday dear General Harold for a hundred years Fort Riley has been part of the color and spirit of the United States Army something of the frontiersmen of the blue clad cavalryman has come down through the years and helped to inspire the men in khaki who subdued our enemies in great world wars that quality of persisting to this day is one of those factors that make the American soldier of today a formidable defender of freedom a sincerely white the Eisenhower something of the frontiersmen of the blue clad cavalryman to begin they must go back to the year 1842 and come at even tide upon a small encampment where men are busy picketing their horses under a flaming sky and the great rolling land seems to reach out forever we can rest easy captain no sign at all kit some but it's nine ten days old whole caboodle heading down the smoke good you know kit this land never ceases to amaze me like a great sea you wonder if it'll ever end plenty of room that's what a man needs captain maybe one day it'll be filled up oh I allow folks who come this way you just can't stop them you know as a soldier I can't help but look at terrain in terms of its possible use as a military sense there have been times when I had to do that right quick here we are right at the junction of the smoke and the Republican rivers trail going west bound to pass close by here and the rivers are usable right you know my name isn't Charles Fremont if this isn't an excellent spot for a fort from Leavenworth to this point here if the Indians were hostile cavalry could protect the whole area well captain I agree it's a mighty handy spot for a fort and let settlers start pulling over this land and you're going to need it and so it was that the soldier explorer captain Charles Fremont on his expedition to the Rocky Mountains guided by the noted scout and trapper Kit Carson camped at the junction of the smoke and Republican rivers in the territory of Kansas his observations there he remembered and passed on to his colleagues one of whom was major EA Ogden stationed in 1852 at Fort Leavenworth don't just stand there grinning what's the word the word is my beamish boy that major EA Ogden has been appointed to take out a scouting party and find a building site for a new fort wonderful when do we leave I don't recall saying I was going to take you along you might not recall saying it but you are gonna aren't you now see here Captain Cowan are you given to ordering superior officers not at all my good major but I I sure want to volunteer and if you do go I'm sure every Arapahoe Pony and Sue will spot that red top of yours and will all lose our scalp well and we can ride to glory together when do we leave how big a party you take him move out of dawn I'm taking a second how much farther is this place that Fremont told you about not far it's where the smoke joins the Republican oh you've seen the site before once Fremont knew what he was talking about huh Charlie usually does I guess you were right like every Arapahoe soon that decoders war party the looks of them too far south of their own territory to be anything else let's be 500 at least it was like they came right up out of the earth easy girl easy yes they're there good at that you'd think they'd attack we could be the vanguard of they're starting to move they're turning off and going out of the river we can all thank God for that true point upon his return to Fort Leavenworth major Ogden reported the site of the junction of the smoke in Republican Rivers an excellent one to erect a fort and a year later with the major in command construction was begun native cottonwood pine hedge and oak were used for lumber limestone was quarried from the surrounding hills while hard to get supplies were shipped down the river by flat boat and ever and always throughout the fort's building the men worked under the threat of Indian attack what's the date today day when it's for June 27 1853 June it's almost the middle of July not for us it isn't dispatch just came in from the adjutant general's office in Washington it's dated June 27th it's a date we won't want to forget here why what's so important about it the force been given a name but it's got a name a good name Fort center geographic center of the country and now it's been changed to a better name under general order 17 and an honor of major general Bennett Riley where hence forth to be known as Fort Riley what do you know Fort Riley not a bad name at all a good name from a good man during the next two years Fort Riley grew by leaps and bounds construction crews were enlarged to include civilians wagon trains stopped for water and supplies and cavalry patrols gave them protection along the trail with the summer of 1855 frontier warfare with the tribes became particularly heated and the main complement of the fort rode out to take part in the campaign against them major Ogden left with only a few companies of the 6th infantry face the summer heat and the growing tide of settlers with considerable concern Sergeant know yes sir have that wagon train leader come in here yes sir horton how many trains have you led west I ain't rightly counted why because any greenhorn tenderfoot would know enough to boil all drinking water enroute look major you boil all the water you want to and it's here for but you ain't got nothing to say about what I do with the way you put in here for supplies you're getting them but while you're here you'll do as I say you know what a color of epidemic can do I don't care what you've been color hits your train of this fort it can wipe out every man Jacobus a sergeant law you take a squad of men and see that all the drinking water on the Horton wagon train is boiled now see here major you know the train will be out of here before sundown why you now see you're a sergeant yes sir hey oh hi Joe all you army fellows have to move like the devil was driving you now Joe since you engineer critters are so slow about your work somebody's got to move fast and what's your problem get Horton straightened out pig headed cuss yeah they moved him out this morning he just really worried about the color and taking him because we can what are you gonna do with it people like Horton they've tried to hammer it into the crew but I can't be sure I'm gonna be the rule yeah me get through August will be all right I don't know major wants you on the double yeah I'll see you Joe sergeant have a assembly sounded I want every man on duty or off at the south parade at once cholera has broken out amongst the civilian population color despite all precautions the dread disease struck and swept like a raging prairie fire through soldiers and civilians alike it respected neither rank sex nor age major EA Ogden commanding officer mrs. Armistead whose husband later became a well-known confederate general the new captain from the east and the corporal's children all were victims and daily the list of dead grew and with no officers left to take charge panic struck the civilian population and flared into an ugly madden mob hey Joe Joe do you have any men you can depend on that it doesn't hurt I get him here quick skin you men stand your ground there get out of our ways sergeant we're coming through you come any closer and we'll be forced to fire and no one leaves this foot until the sickness is over I say so these men with me say so and if necessary our guns will say so you ain't in command here well I'm taking command now go on home and you can't hold it here so nice hold your fire now listen to me listen you want to go out of here and go back to Leavenworth maybe start an epidemic there we don't want to stay in here and die and that's what we'll all do if we don't get out of here I've got 15 good men perk and it's like we're gonna need him get him up along the wall here let me talk a minute oh sorry what the sergeant says is right we are stuck with this thing we can't go up running like scared rabbits and passing on other folks you don't Henderson I thought you were a man and you're right you Connors acting like a bunch of scared women to stay here where the sergeant is men and I've got 15 lads all armed and ready to help out now let's not add blood shed to the pack of trouble we already got there ain't no officers left and the sergeant knows his business he's in command and what he says goes now let's stick together this thing man it's the only way we can lick all right first thing we got to do is organize burial parties the second is to isolate all known cases and those that look suspicious if we keep our heads and work together we can lick this you are listening to the proudly we hail production birthday salute for Fort Riley we'll return in just a moment for the second act young man if you want to be the sort of man that others look up to you'll get there fast if you can qualify to join the army you'll see a change from the very moment you put on the uniform of a United States soldier you're not only stand straighter and taller you'll walk with a sure tread of a man who knows where he's going your training in the army will give you the confidence of a man with an important job to do you have to pass the mental and physical examinations in order to get in this oldest military service in our country but once you're in you're on the way up visit your local United States Army and United States Air Force recruiting station there's a recruiter there who'll be very glad to tell you all about what's in it for you when you join the United States Army you are listening to proudly we hail and now we present the second act of birthday salute for Fort Riley before a determined sergeant named Percival Lowe with the help of a civilian engineer named Joseph Sawyer did lick the terrible epidemic approximately 100 men women and children had perished but through the efforts of these two men a serious panic which could have led only to a greater disaster was averted for the next few years Fort Riley continued to grow and play a leading role in the opening up of the territory in the protection of wagon trains west and then came that fateful day April 12th 1861 well boys I got to be on my way whichever side is ruckus Virginia's own well clam you wanted to be a cavalry man looks like you're going to get plenty of chance looks like we all are for four bloody long years the war between the states went on and in that time all work on the fort ceased under man and caught in the vicious guerrilla border warfare that took place in Kansas it's small cavalry patrols did what they could to protect the against renegade bands and men like one trail who treated all as combatants showed no mercy to anyone too late always too late if I ever catch up with that murder and David Allen put this ain't war Todd it's I know I know sergeant all right you're sure the man can be trusted captain his home was in Lawrenceville major he was away when Quintrell struck he lost his wife and three children I see and he's sure that Quintrell is hiding in Locust Valley been on his trail for over two years just about as long as you have captain and that's about major August 63 all right captain take whatever men you need go get him thank you sir we have you surrounded either throw down your arms and come out will open fire all right man open fire 1861 1865 and then it was over and peace had come and once again men looked to the west and wagon trains began to roll but now they were accompanied by a faster newer mode of travel the railroad it too was moving west and in its twin ribbons of steel slicing across the land toward the horizon the planes tried saw in it their doom the cradle of the cavalry so Fort Riley came to be known for it was here that the nation's most famous cavalry regiments were formed and in 1866 the most famous of all came into the seven commanding officer Colonel AJ Smith second in command Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong let me ride out with the seventh and the second infantry in support and I'll put an end to your Indian Wars quick enough George if confidence and enthusiasm alone could solve this problem I'm sure you could do the job with no more than a troop at your disposal but this is a far different kind of fighting than you're used to more good men have lost their scalps out here because they underestimated the great courage and ability of their adversary I admire their courage in their ability Colonel but I admire my own more I like you George because you're so modest I can't help what I know and I know given the man I can put an end to this affair let me tell you something my eager young buck ohm if there's a better cavalryman in all this territory than a Cheyenne warrior it would be a Sue brave I know Colonel I know but if you don't know George that's what I'm trying to tell you that's why I want you to ride out with Captain Todd's troop Todd's been here since he was wounded at Gettysburg he's a good man and he knows his business I'm sending car the scout along I've told him to take you right in amongst the Sue so I've come to be in a schoolboy again try not to act like one George joke all you like Colonel but one day you one day someday that's not today today you orderly Joe Captain Todd in we get any closer car not unless you want to join in their dance Colonel there are gala suit when they're out of like this they just ain't nothing to fool with wish that moon and stay out tell me what it prevent us around them and coming in on them from both ends of the valley can't be very sharp eyes we got through three or four men maybe we'll just sneak in on him Colonel but not a half a dozen troops of cavalry a hundred good men and I could break that a lot of them you may change that figure some what kind of happy a fight them a bit we had them or so it seemed they got away change your opinion they're smart they arrived like demons and fight like devil now you're learning but I'm the one man who's going to tame it took three years of taming before the tribes hurt but not defeated we tweeted from the territory to carry on their fight further west Custer and the seventh along with other cavalry and infantry regiments pursued them the story of their campaigns and the fate of Custer a little big horn in 1876 are well known but they do not have a part in the story of Fort Riley for even though cavalry was still the mainstay of the post and small mounted units escorted settlers safely back to their homes in north western Kansas after their annual spring trek for supplies the days of Indian warfare were all but over 1887 a school of light artillery is added to the court December 1890 groups of the seventh and ninth cavalry and second infantry take part in the battle against big foot and his warriors at wounded knee creek in south Dakota ending all sue resistance so the years roll on for the most part a long period of routine soldier occasional Mexican border flare ups and units of troopers from Fort Riley maneuvering southward but for a period of nearly 30 years the cradle of the cavalry is rocked gently in the calm waters of peace and then 1917 gentlemen we're going to have our hands for Fort Riley will not only be our key cavalry training center but it's also going to be one of the largest infantry training centers in the country need I mentioned that we all have our work cut out for us camp Funston they called it the infantry training center for Friday into its building when 47 billion 700 million board feet of lumber not to mention thousands of carloads of hardware roofing and plumbing supplies it covered an area two miles long until accommodate over 50,000 men at one time it became the largest army post of semi-permanent type built in the nation in World War One two short decades would have separate the ending of the first World War and our entry into the second in the latter half of that second decade Fort Riley began to swell the ranks of the US cavalry which had now become largely mechanized a rigid expansion schedule was set up for the construction of new buildings and new camps a new building sprang up every 47 minutes and training went on at full speed tanks now instead of horses fast moving infantry learning new techniques and methods soon to be put to the bitter test hey what's the date today buzz well according to my calendar it's December 7th 1941 but more important it's Sunday and Sunday means a day off so get out of that sack and let's go to town Sunday nicest day of the year Sunday the nicest day of the year and the country was once again at war again Fort Riley became one of the most important training centers for both cavalry and infantry in the nation and various divisions and regiments wrote their history in the Hall of Fame after their training at Fort Riley 26 cavalry regiments wiped out on the 10 April 1942 second cavalry division ninth armored division 124th cavalry regiment the 11th 21st and 36th corps headquarters the 10th mountain division all played their vital part in the winning of the war today in this perilous time of communist threat 100 years since its founding Fort Riley continues to hold a position of great importance in the military training and defense of our country Fort Riley's not only the home of the 10th infantry division but also the army general school it's the latter that you're concerned with you may have been assigned to the part of the school known as the department of tactical research and new doctrine what that means in your case is that you become members of the aggressor force which acts as the mythical enemy of the country during maneuvers 1853 1953 from a frontier outpost to a major training center such has been the colorful 100 year history of Fort Riley and the men who served there who helped to write the pages of our history with their deeds the list is long and noteworthy Fremont Kit Carson Ogden Custer Jeb Stuart Leonard Wood Pershing Merrill Wainwright MacArthur Patton the names are many and impressive the role is long the service to country immeasurable in time courage and sacrifice so

Three pro-lifers and three pro-choicers get together answer questions about their position to see if they can find common ground today. I respond Hey guys, what's up? It's Isaac and today. I'm gonna be talking about and responding to a recent video done by Jubilee Well, I guess it's not that recent. It's actually two years old anyway I found this video and I thought it was really interesting a conversation between pro-lifers and pro-choicers They sit down to find middle ground and I think this concept is really interesting Also, the question of should there be middle ground on this issue is something that might come to mind So we'll talk about it watch the video and dig into some of the stuff if you're new to this channel My name is Isaac and this is daily disciple ministry where I help you follow Jesus daily I realize a lot of people that aren't Christians might watch this video and if so, that's okay Welcome here, and I'm excited to be able to share this with you. Let's dig into the video I spent way too much time on that Oh, right Yeah, because you hear the other person's perspective and you're like, okay, that makes sense Yeah, no, I I think I Questioned mine often because I could imagine that if I wasn't Living my life based on my Christianity I would want women to have that choice as well Okay, interesting question. The girl said that the Christian girl She said yeah, if I didn't have my Christian worldview, I can see how I would believe differently I believe I could understand how I could see Abortion as being okay, or is a woman's writer or whatever and I think that's an important statement in clarification to make If you're a Christian then where do you get your sense of morality? Where do you find this objective morality by which you base your life? What is right? What is wrong? It is ultimately based on God. How do we learn about God? Well, we learn again about God through what you know, what we learn about is general revelation So general revelation is creation We can know that God is orderly by the order in creation that God is creative by the creativity And we know more about God through specific revelation the Bible. So we're learning about God. What is right? What is wrong? What is our sense of morality? We learn it through our conscience, which he has given to us, but it ultimately comes from God without Recognizing that objective morality in the Bible and based on God's character We're left in this sense of finding morality in a subjective way based on our own perspectives opinions beliefs Experiences and this is what a lot of people within the pro-christ movement most of them all of them I would say are are left with they're left with this sense that well in my opinion based on my experiences It's okay because that's what I believe and this is why I get confused when pro-lifers talk about, you know Pro-life being disconnected from Christianity like you can you know, oh, it's not about Religion it's not about, you know God or anything like that. No, it is actually all based on the foundation of the scriptures That's what it's based on and when we why is abortion on it's abortion abortion is wrong because it's the taking of a life God said in your mother's womb I was forming you and you are created in my image you thou shall not murder all these things play together and form this Morality that's based on God's character, but I believe fundamentally that the woman should have that right to make the decision and It's I've never been anybody's pro-abortion Oftentimes they don't have good choices and they're picking the lesser of the bad choices yeah, I just feel like my I'm very certain of my views because I Want to respect that everyone has that option Okay, interesting the pro-choice guy. He says that you know, I there are few people that are actually kind of like pro Abortion, it's just kind of the best of two evils. This is a common inconsistency within kind of the argumentation of Pro-choice people they'll say abortion, you know, it's not ideal But sometimes it has to happen sometimes, you know, it's the best option available But at the same time they'll argue that it's just a blob of cells a clump of tissue If it is a life then it should be protected and if it isn't a life Then why is it such a why are people kind of waffling in terms of getting an abortion if it's not life Then what's the big deal?  That's why he's saying oh well Nobody's really pro-abortion. It's too, you know bad scenarios here and because they know it is a life But they're willing to sacrifice that life for the convenience of the mother or whatever that may be for I want to be careful here because often what's missing in this conversation is compassion compassion for the other people on the other side of the argument because In no way should these conversations or debates be filled with hate I'm passionate about this issue because I do believe it's a life in the womb that deserves to be Protected because it was created in the image of God the other lady was was saying, you know I just want to give people the truth. I want women to have the choice to do it It really gets back to our morality where our foundation is right because if we do believe that's a life And if we do believe in the scripture when this is thou shall not murder, right? It's not a our choice to take those things into our hands to do what God has said don't do part of the problem of arguing Pragmatically in turn instead of arguing from the Bible is that when we argue pragmatically often people will say well look everyone Believes it's wrong to kill somebody so or murder somebody So we just need to kind of give them enough evidence to realize that a it is a person in the womb Well, the thing is is that scientists have all across the board look it up concluded that yes It is a life within the womb, right? They've concluded that that's closed issue, right? You'd have to go far to find people that will argue that but now the thing is now what they're moving to is the fact that okay? It may be a life in the womb, but the woman still has the right to kill it because it's her body or whatever, right? So you see how the goalposts have moved when it's a subjective morality or our understanding of what is right and wrong It'll move based on convenience So because they have no foundation for which they place right and wrong when they say oh well now We need to kill this person because it inconveniences us or we don't want it or whatever it may be They can do that because it's not based on anything We need to get back at the heart of this issue, which is the matter of the heart It's our heart Understanding of what is right what is wrong who God is what he has commanded us to do what our purpose here is on earth All these things are connected and you may think Isaac you're insane. What are you talking about? All these things aren't connected. You're just crazy. No They're all connected because it all impacts our worldview and this at the heart of it is a worldview issue The only difference we have is when that fetus becomes a human life If that's a human being then my tonsils are human beings. I think there are That's a scary gray area and in the Bible you did say you know I don't know what part of Christianity, but Jesus says before I formed you and your mother's womb I knew you not a sparrow falls from the sky without my knowing I feel like I really respect you and your faith I respect that that's your feeling and that you all feel that way But I also feel like one can feel that way regardless of the Bible regardless of Christianity You know, it's one of those things that Happens and has happened actually for decades, you know for a while and People Make that decision and it is their decision. They make that decision For whatever reasons, you know, I mean again you you help people who have taken a pill first and change their mind And I think that's great But if you have one and you feel regretful then deal with it If you have one you don't really feel regretful or you feel like it really truly was the best decision for you Then that's what happens and I just think we all know people like that or I don't I just don't feel like we have any Right to force a particular way and and and and you know, I think it's great to try to just be open I want to encourage some of you Christian guys and girls that are watching this video right now We can be in conversations with people similar to this lady that you know When we'll quote scripture or go back to our foundation, which is in the Bible She kind of disregarded is like, oh, well, you know what you believe that and other people believe that kind of thing And other people believe that kind of undermining the power of the scriptures really and I think it's really Important for us not to lose confidence or try to be like, oh, yeah, she's right or I should go somewhere else Maybe I try to go to some Evidential like this is why abortions bad maybe more women feel bad after they do it So this is why you shouldn't have an abortion Maybe those things can be interesting to look at but at the heart of it The reason that we're opposed to abortion and the reason that it's not just well It's you know, some people do it for this reason some people do it for this reason It's their choice. The reason that it's not that way is because God has declared and too often my friends too often And I'm the same way we'll submit to other people's authorities and And we'll leave our own we'll leave up the God's authority We'll be like, yeah, you're right. That is kind of that doesn't make a lot of sense. Yeah, you don't believe that So that doesn't matter can't we stick to what God has said Can't we be bold about what he has called us to? Because we're gonna need people especially in this conversation That not only approaches with compassion, but approach it with truth And they're bearing stuck into foundation not hey, this is what the newest evidence say hey not the you know That can be helpful and interesting But the heart of it Our foundation is in the scriptures where we know and learn about God We have a relationship with him and that's how we go out and approach any of these issues To me it yeah In my experience in plan forever almost everybody got kids And the the slogan if you will My parent it was no child in a wanted child not and We wanted our children and that's why we chose to have them What about all the people that would gladly take care of that child that cannot have a pregnancy to save their life? Because the woman has to go has to go nine months for a whole life that a child could have I think one of the things that I immediately reacted to is that Okay, nine months, whatever But there are so many children not just in America, but the world over That don't have loving parents that are not in a loving situation that are not cared for fed clothes Loved and I and I think that is the most important thing to care about our children Because they are our future so the child in the womb has no value whatsoever. No, I don't think so at all I'm not saying that I never said that I'm just asking that to me that's unclear Whether it's you know this or that or this or that and despite the fact that you say There are people out there that want to adopt this child or want to take care of this child There are still so many that are not this struck me. Um, she approaches this the the pro-abortion Lady she approaches this with kind of a an aura of compassion and I I don't want to question the fact that that maybe in her heart She feels like this is Compassionate, but when we truly think about it and if we're getting to you know our understanding of what it is In the womb, this is a common argument that people say they say, okay, you know what if you have that child Maybe they want to have good parents. It'll be another child. They're an orphanage. They won't be loved They won't be taken care of So why why would you want to put them through this almost painting you as like the bad person now Is then the compassionate person because they just they don't even bring this child in the world And now you're making them live this hard life and difficult life.  We're saying well, it's just better to put them out of their misery early enough So we'll just kill them now so then they don't have to have a hard life to me That is that's not compassionate at all That's like the idea that you you know somebody gets sick or somebody's having a hard life And and you just are like, you know what they're having a hard time. Let's just put them out of it That's the compassionate thing to do. No, it's not pro-choice people seem like oh It's all about choice all about choice all about choice and yet the one person who doesn't have choice is the baby in the womb Think about that. Okay, so I could honestly go on for hours on this topic But I hope you got something out of this video our foundation our understanding of how to approach abortion should come From the bible not just from random arguments. They may be helpful.
