Yes. Paying it with depreciated dollars that buy much less in an high inflation environment. Or in a deflationary post-default economy if monetary authorities do the unexpected and don't address the situation with the customary flood of money creation. My guess is the former as allowing an outright default crashes financial markets and real estate. In this case we can pretend everyone is still nominally well off even if a Big Mac costs $25.

Simple. Despite nothing changing.... If Biden / Harris POTUS = proper. Orange menace POTUS = improper.

Or defense which we Bills fans unfortunately know all too well

Went to the movies with the family yesterday. The woke angle was blatantly obvious in the preview for Superman.

Boone should be replaced but let's not forget about Cashman. He deserves his share of the blame for this as well. The pitching has been awful.

I've been in or through Asheville several times since Helene. The rebuilding has been consistently slow under both. The devastation is severe and will take many years to repair. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/05/22/trump-fema-north-carolina-hurricane-helene-00352614 The allegations spurred anger toward Biden, but FEMA’s statistics show no significant uptick in aid since Trump’s inauguration. As of April 22, the agency had given nearly $432 million of assistance to 158,600 households in North Carolina, $100 million of which came under Trump, FEMA said in a statement. FEMA also obligated nearly $459 million in public assistance to repair infrastructure in North Carolina, including $138 million under Trump. Meanwhile, Trump’s FEMA has halted $10 billion in disaster relief funds intended to help people across the country, cut off housing assistance for thousands of Helene survivors and ended a policy of fully reimbursing the state of North Carolina for debris removal. Now, in further evidence of how political attacks can create a reality of their own, Trump officials are using FEMA’s struggles in western North Carolina as a rationale to dismantle the agency. “I think we’re going to recommend that FEMA go away,” Trump said during a January visit to Asheville to survey the damage shortly after taking office.

What would be the proper alert system? More than a 3 hour emergency warning? From what I'm seeing the warnings were placed in what would seem to be an appropriate amount of time.

That's a terrible meme. Like, absolutely stupid. It's proof that one group can't meme. Jordan wrestled for Wisconsin and was a 2 time nat champ. He's in the US HOF, as well. A remarkable wrestler who embodied and coached toughness to a throwback style. Jeff Jordan and the Jordan family run one of the best camps in the country in Graham, Ohio. it is truly an elite camp up there with Iowa's training camp.

Blame Hillary Clinton for lock her up. That’s a level of delusion heretofore unseen. I don’t know if it’s Twitter or herb or something else that’s poisoned your mind, but it’s time for detox.

My brother and SIL live in Asheville. He's a centrist democrat, his wife makes AOC look like a conservative. Both of them admit more was done to clean up Asheville in the week following Trump's visit than in the 3 months following the Biden/Harris visit.

Certainly. The NOAA budget was cut. The area did not have a proper alert system in place. Now you see why slashing government funding is bad.

Exactly. So many fans get excited about every draft pick and year after year assume many will make significant contributions. I’m not sure how they miss how rare that is - especially when teams are without a high first round pick. It would not be difficult to find year old posts predicting that Coleman, Bishop and Carter would vastly improve our passing game and defense. That certainly wasn’t the case. I hope our 2025 rookies all hit big, but assuming big contributions from the class - especially in year 1 - is not realistic. An Eagle (or any other) fan assuming that none make a big difference this season is simply paying attention to the odds.

this would warrant a laughing emoji were it not true. oh, we'll be paying it. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0022343311431286 Real republicans understood this.

insurance companies in Conn are smart enough to not insure Fla. Perhaps Texas is next.

The issue is never the issue. The issue is ALWAYS the revolution.

Actually, Bills didn’t draft a single player to address the Eagles front 4. I agree that the Eagles front 4 won the game for them. But two of their major contributors are gone.

A candidate advocating balancing the budget and fiscal austerity would be immediately accused of hating the poor and needy while wanting to kill children and the elderly in doing the bidding of billionaire donors thst want to eliminate Medicaid and the social safety net. So the free lunch for everyone continues until the waiter brings the check to the table and nobody has the money to pay it.

100% this^ ...... the offense will juggernaut... through some games especially in the regular season but absolutely cannot be expected to consistently do that in the playoffs against that level of competition... they need help... that simple.

Despicable is correct, anyone on any side who finds glee in the loss of life is truly despicable.

Can you provide any level of detail whatsoever as it relates to budgets and this weekend’s tragedy? Hopefully you don’t respond with a generality.

They did. The people did not heed it.When we had that Christmas week blizzard, I and many other people went to the supermarket to stock up. Tops was mobbed. I stayed inside for a week. The ownerofthecamp died trying to save people.

Nothing is surprising. The Eagles were a complete team and the best in the NFL. People around here are mistaken if they think if we just get past the Chiefs somehow we will be Super Bowl winners. Our offense is still incredibly dependent on Allen, we still haven't shown the clutch playoff gene, Allen can still get sugar high. Assuming our offense is going to juggernaut in that spot and save the day is a HUGE assumption, one I don't agree with, and if it doesn't the game looks like the first Baltimore game fast.

They may be right if Bosa and White and a healthy Milano (oxymoron I know) and the entire draft class that seemingly was geared to addressing the defensive issues fails... and it could... Bosa and Milano could be oft injured, White could be a shell, and we could get little to no impact out of the DL we drafted and Hairston could continue to struggle as some have reported... if this is the case, they are not wrong... run back the defensive performance that we had last year or something similar then I do not at all see a way into the big game.... but to say we havent addressed it or at least focused on it I dont think is accurate... we will advance in the playoffs to the level they have achieved improvement on Defense.. IMO, Offense is gonna offense is gonna offense, Josh is gonna Josh... that is going to carry the day into the playoffs... but he needs some support to win it all... If we get a little luck and drafted well... winning it all based on the improvement is absolutely in play.... to further the optimism... even if we don't this year and the draft class grows and develops out of their rookie year because we hit on a few... to me the future is even brighter as you shed dead cap space and aging veteran contracts... that are replaced with young starters on rookie deals.. you stay relevant... Bottom line, who knows... but I am ok with our approach this year... time will tell... and fortunes hopefully fall our way and they are wrong... but to me to dismiss their thoughts as not valid, well... lets see...

We have always been at war with Eastasia
