    HA!!! Wait - you're going to compare this issue with Nicholas Sandman - who was on video and print with his shittt eating grin?  F-that bro...

     

    After all this time and the not edited video being made available you still think Sandman was the problem? You are mentally disturbed.

     

    I am also glad you agree that they do not actually have a standard as much as a racist policy

    Really? I was thinking that sub-par teams would stand a chance of losing by scores of 60-0.  That doesn't sound like fun from where I sit FC.

     

    Also, I don't think that the championships should be fun based. Maybe the best teams should play, no? And also, "fun" for who? Not the kid who loses a 20 million or so guaranteed contract for having to play extra, unpaid college games. 

     

    Sorry, I don't think that inferior teams should be rewarded. I also don't think that the college kids should be taking more risk. Finally, I think that the reason for this proposal is economic exploitation. It will be great for the NCAA but how good will it be for the injured player.

     

    Thanks for the dialogue FC and as always, JMO.

    Bill I think you do not realize how good the players are across the country in many schools and how many only go to power 5 schools because they know everywhere else they can't win a title. The expansion of the playoff will every year be 11 power 5 schools but at least one other will be given a chance. The non power team will 2/3 of the time lose the first game but seeing as six times in the past 16 years the only undefeated team after bowl games was not national champs it is hard to argue they never have a chance

    From the statesman before they knew if was a juvenile.

     

    "Police have only released a vague description of the suspected shooter as of Saturday morning,” the note said. “The American-Statesman is not including the description as it is too vague at this time to be useful in identifying the shooter and such publication could be harmful in perpetuating stereotypes. If more detailed information is released, we will update our reporting."

     

    The description from police was not vague as it gave clothes and hairstyle also. Just as a BTW the Austin Statemen was pleased to tell you Nicholas Sandman's name and race when they lied about him. Sorry that your "facts" are wrong again.

  4. He was a great back from 2014-17 but from 2018 till now has been out produced by Singletary. Bell vs Singletary in 2019 was an interesting comparison but Singletary was better last year and there is no reason to believe Bell just needs a better situation because he was in KC and did not much.

  5. I am actually curious if anyone can show me one item that was correct from "An Inconvenient Truth"? I understand it was Gore and not Biden but the amount of carbon pumped into the atmosphere has gone up considerably in the past 15 years since that garbage was produced but our environment seems to be the same. In fact since 1990 when I first started hearing this garbage it has basically doubled but no major changes.

    That’s false. For

    example, Companies that received PPP funds and an employee chose not to come back needed to inform unemployment the person refused to come back in order to kick them off unemployment for one or that person would hurt their FTE ratio for forgiveness.

     

    In addition, I think what we’re seeing is more of a shift in the lower wage job seekers. Why should these people risk their lives in a pandemic for a wage that isn’t enough to live? I think one good thing from the pandemic may be a shift in what employees will accept in wages. We will have a better idea on that when we get some data of the red states that cut unemployment vs blue states that kept it and how the labor force reacts.

     

    Businesses not paying enough is literally having the government subsidize lifestyles (except probably worse that how you’re viewing it). Say owner X pays a wage of $10 an hour to employees and he nets $200,000 a year. If he pays $15 an hour he would only net $100,000 a year, but paying $15 an hour means all his employees wouldn’t need food stamps.

     

    The government is allowing him to pay a wage of $10 an hour and he knows the government will kick in extra compensation with food stamps. That allows him to have $200,000 instead of $100,000. So your tax money is going to him getting an extra $100,000 a year.

     

    let’s flip that and pay $15 an hour. At $15 an hour his employees don’t need food stamps so $0 of your tax money go to them getting food stamps. But business owner now only gets $100,000. He’s still pretty well and but he is not getting an advantage from using your tax money.

     

    So really food stamps and such actually allow businesses to be more profitable because it allows businesses to provide lower wages.

    What did I say that was false? That I had to move to get a better job? Or that grown ups should make that decision for themselves? Your issue is that you want more govt intervention to fix the intervention they screwed up. I want less govt because it rarely works in the long run.

    Isn’t that kind of what is happening in our economy right now? All the crap jobs that don’t pay enough, no one is applying for and there is a major labor shortage?

     

    Again, tell me why should the government subsidize businesses with government handouts like food stamps? For example, X place of business needs to hire someone at $10 an hour. Without the ability to hire someone at $10 an hour, the business would not be profitable. However, for someone to take a job at $10 an hour they need food stamps in order to live. So, the business is only able to survive because they can hire people at a reduced wage because that person can get food stamps to survive.

     

    In an ideal world, we have an increase in minimum wage. We will see businesses go under that can’t support themselves without government subsidized labor, we see less people on the government dependence and we decrease taxes due to that.

    No one is applying for jobs because they can get paid not to work and not look for a job more than if they worked- that is a broken government. I can't argue with the stupidity that argues govt must subsidize people's lifestyles and then complain the companies don't pay enough. The problem is govt and peoples choices, not the business. I had to move from Buffalo to Florida to find a good job. I had to leave my extended family for us to find jobs. That move made us about 50k extra in the first 12 months and more since, but life in America gives you choices all the time, when you blame others for your crap choices you are a liberal

    Which parts are untrue? This isn’t anywhere near as crazy as schools teaching that the 3/5 compromise was good for blacks, or climate denialism, or creationism.

    Why don't you tell me what you think is true about the 1619 project? The women who created it admitted it was not a history but a narrative. BTW who denies that we have a climate?

    So it’s just in certain urban districts in a few states? 
     

    You guys are making it seem like it’s common across the country. The teachers I know don’t even know what it is.

    It is the official standard being taught but since it is only a few places why worry? My biggest worry with the 1619 project is that is proven to be  false, but since only a few hundred thousand kids will be lied to I guess I am overreacting.

    You’re probably drunk or just a dumbass.

     

    I don’t know if you know how to read or have comprehension on your reading ability but your take makes me think you’re illiterate.

     

    Adding ***** jobs isn’t a good thing. Hey we would employee X amount of people, yet we won’t pay them a wage to support where they live so they need to feast on the government teet. Like are you an idiot? If you’re a Republican you’d support AOC here. Why bring in jobs and people where they will need more government support because a company can’t function without the government subsiding employees?

     

    The entire argument here is that government is more capable of making choices for people then they are as individuals. To bash a job because it does pay enough is amazingly short sighted and shows true economic ignorance. If no one wanted the jobs they would not apply, if there was not a market of employees Amazon would not build it, which does not even mention that Amazon has a ton of high paid jobs, you act like all the jobs are the basic warehouse jobs.

    The question is not whether "the Media" can or cannot be trusted to tell the truth or the facts objectively (not sure if the OP is including sketch Twitter feeds as part of this too)....

     

    It is whether enough US citizens have the mental capacity to tell the difference regardless of the source.

     

     

     

     

    When to majority of the media repeatedly states that 1.75 trillion is more than 1.9 trillion and half the country agrees we know that some people can't determine truth on their own.

    Shows like this really make me hate the weekly release strategy that Disney uses.  That first episode was entertaining, but in the big picture, absolutely nothing happened.  The show could go off in any direction from here.

    Disney does it to ensure you keep coming back, I agree with you but that is why I wait for all episodes and then binge watch whole thing.

    Yup, we have all watched Josh exercise this part of his “arm arrogance” 😁 repeatedly, yet there is still one or two that somewhat recently stated that Josh does not take advantage of his arm strength..., no really it happened...,

     

    Its gonna be a stellar season!! I can’t freakin wait!!!

     

    Go Bills!!!

    Arm arrogance is the equivalent of distance arrogance for Steph Curry. No one should do it because most pro players can't.

  14. It takes a special kind of stupid- naivety- to be aware of the taxation problem and think the Dems are the lesser problem. If you learned anything from the whistleblowers you have not paid attention for at least 40 years. The whistleblowers need to go to jail for breaking the law, the people are doing nothing illegal, they simply are using the system that our elected officials created. I hate our tax system but every time someone comes up with a better plan progressives lie about it.

    Fauci did not know, and no one knows for sure as China will not release actual records and probably never will.... now.

     

    Fauci and others knew that the best way to get investigators into China with boots on the ground where they can dig for more info was not to go public and shame them right out of the gate. It serves no purpose in getting to the truth as they would just lock down the area and access to interviews and records so yes Timmy, there is a political component to serving in an official capacity as a health services representative of our government.

     

    I have always said that a lab leak is a plausible theory (you can search my earliest post on this topic). Although still not proven, is has always (in my mind) been as viable a source for the pandemic as a wet-market zoonotic leap. Those "lab leaks" have happened in the past with SARs and other viruses being studied and there is not a clear match for viral Covid-19 DNA signature in tested animals to date as was found with Camels in the case of MERS. 

     

    Add to that logic the fact that they were studying very similar viruses at the Wuhan lab, they were using lax protection protocols, and like many others they seemed unaware of the danger of aerosol transmission and asymptomatic spreading. To my way of thinking a lab worker could have easily been infected and interacted with people for weeks before falling noticeably ill so of course any person (not in a position to be a spokesperson for the US government) would have to consider a lab leak as a plausible possibility.

     

    This is not anything new, and does nothing to absolve Trump and our government's abysmal handling of the pandemic once Pandora's box was opened. Pointing the finger at China and their handling of the whole affair did not serve much of a purpose other than deflecting from the US lack of preparedness and clumsy response and was effective at getting China to purge records and lock up the smoking guns.

     

    I do think Trump was brutally if not clumsily honest about the WHO being too cozy with China - the same could be said of a lot of organizations where China pours money into them to buy influence.

     

    Personally, I still lean towards lab leak even sans definitive proof just because of the circumstantial evidence and Occam's razor.

     

     

     

     

    Occam's razor has always been clearly the lab leak and all the info in the past few months has made it all but definite. As for Fauci- you believe he was not informed in January of 2020 that he signed off on funding Sars research at that lab? We know now Fauci literally signed the document to make it happen. Yes he might have remembered it immediately but he certainly would have been reminded I short order when it was recognized as a Sars outbreak. Your belief that Trump could have stopped Cuomo from killing all those people is absurd and ignored all the evidence that is present.

    Your party committed suicide to own the libs. We didn’t tell you to do that. Your cult leader did. He told you to drink aquarium cleaner and inject bleach into your foreheads instead of getting vaccinated.

     

    It’s over and you don’t even realize it.

     

    Look at how close those house and senate races were in 2018. 
     

    My guess is that the death breakdown will be 65% R to 35% D when it’s all said and done.

    Any explanation of how you come to your numbers or just throwing crap?
