    Paging 24 Tiger....

    I have never watched either. I don’t watch cable news and I don’t read much opinion pieces. I try to find facts and formulate my own opinions. Thankfully 4.5 years at Clemson taught me to think critically.

    Paging 24 Tiger....

    We may very well get our news from the same sources and draw different conclusions. I don’t know where you get your news and you don’t know where I get mine. I haven’t said or implied that I support Joe Biden, and I haven’t said that one type of lie is worse or better than another. I’m not...

    Paging 24 Tiger....

    Look, I don’t think anyone is going to change someone’s opinion on an internet message board. I’m not here to persuade anyone, or if I’m being honest to be persuaded; I’m simply expressing my opinion and interested in hearing other peoples’ opinions who share a common interest (Clemson...

    Paging 24 Tiger....

    I think that is a common refrain and it’s partly our fault and partly the media’s fault. So much of our information is edited or outright editorial so it’s hard for most people to get straight unbiased reporting without a concerted effort. I’m not talking about reporting both sides of a...

    His words. How is that a hoax?

    Paging 24 Tiger....

    Just google. You won’t have to search far. Widely reported. Seriously, read a transcript from one of his rallies or better yet listen to one of his speeches. I’m not sure he is a sane person.

    Paging 24 Tiger....

    The unsealed documents are pretty damning for Trump. Sure seems like there is strong evidence that he’s committed crimes that would endanger our country. I’d say the scariest question is why would he do that? A charitable view would be that he’s a buffoon and thinks he can do whatever he wants...

    Staffing Shortages

    Not everyone is able to choose the situation into which they are placed in life. Even so, let’s assume you are married with 2 young children, high school diploma and technical skills training, wife has similar education. If your top earning potential is $15/hour, then another household wage...

    Staffing Shortages

    I’m sure some early retirees without much cash savings may struggle. I don’t follow Wall Street at all, but if they’re in it for the long haul then most will be okay. The economy is cyclical and things will level out. I remember bottoming out my first IRA in 2008. Didn’t contribute for the next...

    Staffing Shortages

    $15 an hour seems like a lot in the surface, but in Greenville county where I live that is about 57% AMI for a household of one. In other words, you would qualify for low income housing. It’s also just barely above the poverty level for a household of four. Combine that with inflation and the...

    Staffing Shortages

    This is a pretty good summary of what I’m seeing, at least in my profession (A/E). Lots of people easing into early retirement combined with a hot economy that is creating more jobs than there are people to fill the positions. Also, many young people are starting their own small businesses...

    Will Caldwell survive this? Oh wait, never mind. Seriously, can we please move this to the Round Table and get on with our lives. No one is going to change minds on an internet message board.

    What is the purpose in this thread? To ridicule and judge a stranger? All I know about this young person is that they are someone’s child. How would you feel if someone spoke this way about your child? If you truly believe this person is challenged emotionally or mentally in life, then show some...
