Vagitron Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 I legit couldn't care less about any of this shit. Espn got duped, the end. Now dewine is looking into it? Momunental waste of time especially with shit like New York city underwater or NOLA under water again. I could add a slew of other things to this list but I'm not interested in a philosophical debate. Our country is so unbelievably backwards.

Nevermind the fraudulent financial activity, potential abuse of students, using the school as a shell for money laundering and so forth. Sure, it was "just" ESPN that got duped. Just.... shut the fuck up sometimes. edit: Steelers Oline doesn't look bad, by the way. Wanted to tell you that but forgot until now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not look at a fraudulent high school in Ohio because New Orleans and New York had a storm. Ok. Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjp28 Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 Well I just happened to be up at 5 am Friday 🌅 morning and decided to do some investigative journalism on the subject. OR welcome to the world 🌍 of GOOGLE 2021, what a waste of time ! 5:29 am going back to sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I didn't dig that far into it. Lol. I'm also incredibly jaded right now because in my view things in this country are falling apart to a tremendous degree. I own a business in retail as well and as a result I see a good bit more than most, that level of overt stupidity has me on edge. Edit: I have high hopes for the line once it's able to gel but I'd be a liar if I said I wasn't a little worried about depth at tackle.

Z It's more about the continued belief that we aren't fucking up the planet that has me pissed off. I didn't mentioned several other things because I don't want the run around from the poli board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bet lost. [And a discussion of the things China recently started doing to avoid becoming as financially biased towards top 2-10% as US is actually interesting.. One feature of a dictatorship is that you have to govern and can't just whine and faff about like US/Britain..] 2] MBA-ification of everything means that because investing in people/places/things can't produce a return in one quarter, it isn't done. 3] High taxes are not "punishment," that is the intentional method of incentivizing business to [among other things including capital goods investment] find good people and train them to get better and not leave their job. Want people to give 2 snaps about doing well at a job? Pay them and train them. And what happens when people are well paid and well trained? They're happy. Shocking! Just for fun, when a person adds the cost of health care to US taxes..... US is paying more for those items than European taxes. Remember to do apples-to-apples comparisons -- what services do the costs cover, not just what's the raw percentage. Thus when a US city "cuts taxes" by privatizing what was once a government service, that's actually an increase to their citizens' costs because that new "company" increases the bill but somehow magically never gets around to providing more or better services. Also, too: That GL line item for the employer funded piece of the employee health care... doesn't exist in countries with nationwide healthcare systems. Only reason the US Chamber of Commerce isn't pushing for fully socialized medicine.. they enjoy having the control over workers' lives that comes with being able to hold healthcare over peoples' heads. Can't switch jobs or try a crazy new idea for a company if you can't get that lupus treated... You know, the innovation economy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
