    Last OT thread: What's up with the Nord Stream problem?

    Fair questions, and I'll try to give fair answers. I hope you'll fairly consider them, but I doubt it. America 1st? Both Parties suck on this. Some Dems put global concerns first, but most don't. Trump, whether by idiocy or not, shook this tree a little, but the GOP shook back and won...

    Last OT thread: What's up with the Nord Stream problem?

    It has changed a little, loons like Oz and such would rarely have won primaries before. But not nearly as much has changed as you imply. You just see now, what you wore blinders to before.

    Last OT thread: What's up with the Nord Stream problem?

    I AM the "other side", and I don't think we can solve most problems by printing money, or adding regulation (though I do think many problems stem from a lack of proper regulation, though much of this is corruptly not properly enforcing existing regulation, not a need for adding new regs), and I...

    How's Dolla Bill?

    You mean the legal immigrants (asylum seekers) lured by the promise of jobs who were kidnapped and sent to a working class area where they were treated kindly and humanely? Do you have a point, because I think all that propaganda has rotted your brain to where you no longer care. Any Ole hurr...

    Where's the economic market folks at today?

    If only it were that easy to parse results from Presidential terms. We could just point to the Clinton and Obama years and be done with the argument! But in reality, Reagan cut taxes rich people pay in '81, revenues cratered, and he raised taxes regular people pay (SS) in '83, then revenues...

    Where's the economic market folks at today?

    Yes, because what we need is more cash in hand for billionaires and mega corps. By God the stock market is starving! Tax cuts will fix it! Paid for with deficits, of course!

    Where's the economic market folks at today?

    Well let's say the bill to support your own generation was $10k (the generation before you having paid for itself). And you paid $5k and wrote an IOU for your kids to pay $5k. Now your kids are paying $10k for themselves plus $5k for you (or really $10k plus another $5k IOU, or however you want...

    Where's the economic market folks at today?

    Outside of China, which I have no clue about, it's become obvious that the Fed is overplaying its hand, and the UK is being crapped on by markets for trying to revive Reaganomics. I will be reallocating from international exposure to bonds and cash today.

    Why is there a sidewalk around our field?

    Need some non-skid on that ASAP. Or some turf.

    OT: so cleotha kidnaps and rapes woman at same location

    I'd rather throw it first at things that greatly contributes to safety and deters crime (testing kits so as to identify serial perps and put them away sooner) and then throw it at things that don't really contribute to safety and deterring crime (shiny new cop rides with all the bells and...

    OT: so cleotha kidnaps and rapes woman at same location

    Got to agree. Cops aren't lacking for funding. Put in a state prohibition on shiny new cars or something if there's any backlog at all. It will disappear in a week.

    I always wonder why stocks fluctuate so much

    They're still doing that. Most people don't know that there are two stock tickers. The "basic package" one that us plebes use, and the real one that you have to pay millions to have access to. That's why all our tickers say "prices are delayed 15 minutes" or similar. The real one has no...

    LOCKEDI am starting to think Bill Maher is the only sane person with a platform.

    He's always been pretty good. Got kicked off ABC by Republicans for speaking truth. So the censorship/free speech stuff is important to him. Unfortunately, he often pushes this agenda with false equivalencies. here is no exception. AOC tweeting about the MartianX community is funny satire...

    Jackson's Boil Water Notice lifted...

    If you don't understand that removing the 30% of total state income that comes from federal taxes would be pretty bad for the MS economy......then I don't know how to proceed. Carry on. If you want to concede that (this is clearly the part you have trouble with) and then argue that many...

    Jackson's Boil Water Notice lifted...

    Of course it's opinion vs opinion. YOU are the one who tried to play the victim and claim he was trying to "disqualify" your opinion. You got called out on it. You whined some more. And here are whining more again. All because you don't want to admit that there is a possibility that your...
