  1. You know, I served as the leader of my firm of 85 professionals. I purposefully asked those that I aligned with the least to serve on my executive team. Doing so provided me the very best feedback for the success of the firm I was leading. Think about it for a minute.
  2. No, it's reality. The decline in his educational scores is real. His EOs and legislation in the last two years is real.
  3. Why should anyone wonder why our insurance premiums have gone bonkers. Shyt like this was why
  4. Good to hear since the D is my concern.
  5. Not up to you and me. Both campaigns are playing 3D chess on us
  6. it's a democracy dammit, and she "inherited" it. LOL
  7. What is the current abortion law in battleground states?
  8. Cool story. Unfortunately, these things always happen every cycle.
  9. I'm not in Blackburn's head so I'll not speak for her. Neither side is against allowing those that want to compete, to compete. One side believes women's competition is the appropriate place for these XY anomalies (allow me the flexibility to use that term, but I'm open to whatever you or any others want to use) to compete. The other side believes doing so presents an unfair advantage to XX athletes. We shouldn't conflate the desire to protect women's athletes and women's sports as being any more than just that.
  10. You realize the convention will be scripted and on a teleprompter, right?
  11. Not truthful, really. There were many reliefs implemented during covid, with the most significant being the direct stimulus payments and PPP. All combined they cut the poverty rate. It's also important to note that the poverty rate is a measure of household income and while that is certainly related to the amount spent on kiddos, it isn't a measure of the amount spent on kiddos. Again here, where those dollars were spent are the decisions of the parents. I know quite a few clients that purchased a new vehicle, when that really wasn't necessary, with these benefits. That purchase, which did prop up the economy (one goal of the stimulus), it really didn't provide any additional benefit to the kiddos. And as a poster already mentioned, the remote schooling has significantly impacted our younger children. Impact that will follow those children, and our society, for decades.
  12. My point being, the benefit vests to the taxpayer (mom and/or dad) and not the kiddos. The benefit may or may not be spent on something benefitting the child. That's the moms/dads choice. It could, in fact, be spent on drugs or anything else that doesn't benefit the child.
  13. She's adopting a lot of the republican platform, right before our eyes. Maybe everything but abortion????
