Yeah I guess I'm doing the same. I mean we're probably taking it more seriously than they are lol. It's clearly just a thought exercise they're dingling around with to keep pumping out content between D1 related wrestling events. -

Wednesday in Athens saw the final medals awarded in Greco-Roman at the U17 World Championships, along with the first set of women’s freestyle bouts. Only one American was still active in the Greco tournament; however, he won both of his matches and came away with a bronze medal. David Calkins needed to win a repechage bout this morning just to have the opportunity to compete for a bronze medal at 92 kg. He did that with relative ease. His opponent, Brazil’s Raphael Rodrigues Duarte, was called for passivity, giving Calkins the advantage in par terre. Calkins seized the opportunity and locked up a gut-wrench and turned the Brazilian four times for a quick tech fall victory, 9-0. In the bronze medal bout, Calkins also got on the board early via a passivity call against his opponent, Ionut Patru of Romania. Calkins didn’t score on the ensuing par terre restart, but did late in the first period as he hustled into a takedown at the edge. In the second period, Calkins added a step-out point to win, 4-0. The women’s freestyle team started their tournament on a high note with four of their five wrestlers in action on Wednesday, opening with a win. Madison Healey (43 kg), Morgan Turner (49 kg), and Ella Poalillo (73 kg) all advanced to the semifinal after posting two wins apiece. The veteran of the bunch, Turner, was able to push through to the world finals. Healey and Poalillo will wrestle for bronze medals tomorrow. In making the finals, Turner locked up her third straight world medal at the U17 World Championships. Last year, she earned a bronze medal and, in 2023, Turner won a world title. To win her second gold medal, Turner will need to go through Japan’s Yu Kataoka. Kataoka has yet to surrender a point in this tournament and has two techs and a fall. Turner won’t be intimidated by an opponent from the traditional powerhouse nation, as she earned her previous world title at the expense of a Japanese foe. Turner’s pre-finals results are very similar to Kataoka’s - if not better. She has two falls and a tech and hasn’t been out of the first period. In the semifinals, Turner used a double leg and a sucker drag for takedowns and a 4-0 advantage. Later in the first period, Turner and her opponent, Anhelina Burkina, simultaneously shot, and Turner was able to get the better position and was in on a front headlock. She spun and nearly had a takedown, but instead, locked up a cradle and quickly picked up the fall. The other two Americans to start their tournament on Wednesday, Emma Bacon and Violett Lasure, were both eliminated from medal contention. The remainder of the American women’s freestyle contingent will hit the mat on Thursday with Maisie Elliott (40 kg), Jaclyn Bouzakis (46 kg), Epenesa Elison (53 kg), Taina Fernandez (61 kg), and Cassandra Gonzales (69 kg) getting their tournaments underway.

High poverty areas tend to have higher crime. That's the way it always has been and always will. Rich people have limited motive to steal anything. The point of these stores is to improve the general conditions of the people that live in that area. It's never to make a profit and never will be.

Why should we the person be expected to lose money because certain people want to rob steal and murder? Sounds like an opportunity to learn how to behave.

City-run grocery stores can't be expected to make money. It's more a matter of how much money they'll lose. If there is a profit to be made in a specific area, there's always a business owner waiting to pounce on the opportunity. These stores are created in areas that are not profitable and that's why they're food deserts to begin with.

https://heartlandernews.com/2025/07/27/kansas-citys-government-backed-grocery-store-failing-customers-taxpayers-more-critics-than-tomatoes/ Kansas City’s government-backed grocery store failing customers, taxpayers; more critics than tomatoes Kansas City’s failing government-funded grocery store has earned international infamy for its “empty shelves and rotten smells,” even as a leading New York mayoral candidate promises such operations there. Despite millions of tax dollars thrown at the project since its 2018 opening in a city-owned strip mall at Linwood Boulevard and Prospect Avenue, news reports say the KC Sun Fresh grocery store “is on the verge of closure.” Fox Business News and the Washington Post have sent reporters to see it for themselves, while London’s Daily Mail told readers, “Images at the Sun Fresh grocery store show mostly bare shelves and coolers as well as empty meat, produce and deli departments.” “Kansas City poured millions into a grocery store. It still may close,” the Post headline reads. “KC Sun Fresh lost $885,000 last year and now has only about 4,000 shoppers a week,” the Post reports. “That’s down from 14,000 a few years ago, according to Emmet Pierson Jr., who leads Community Builders of Kansas City, the nonprofit that leases the site from the city. Despite a recent $750,000 cash infusion from the city, the shelves are almost bare.” Bold and underlined are my additions. KC sun Fresh sounds very nice, who wouldn't want to shop there? It only lost $885k. And throwing money at it doesn't seem to help. What a real world example of socialism not working. Of course Mamdami will do it right when he gets a chance. The go to statement for all socialists/communists. Sure it failed, but it wasn't implemented correctly. Ha ha! mspart

There are some decent human beings in all of those countries. Just as many as over here. Just clarifying; I'm sure you know that. However, there are factors at play that help evil people get into power in those places, including Israel. -

What’s wild is how your stance on this issue pretty much depends on where you were born. Born in Iran? You’re against Israel. Born in the U.S.? You’re all in for Israel. Like… can y’all stop being brainwashed by your damn media? They’re all killers - Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, Khamenei - every single one of them a bunch of murderous bastards. -

https://thedailyeconomy.org/article/new-study-californias-20-minimum-wage-killed-18000-restaurant-jobs/ New Study: California’s $20 Minimum Wage Killed 18,000 Restaurant Jobs The authors estimate that the negative employment effect is anywhere from -2.3 to -3.9 percent, (as compared to all states, or just to states with no minimum wage changes). Relative to a world where California did not increase the minimum wage, 18,000 jobs were lost. This is a large number, but it’s even more jarring when you realize how limited this law change was. Again, this bill only applied to restaurants with over 60 locations, so many other low-wage jobs were exempted. Even within the restaurant industry, implementation was limited. In other words, those 18,000 more unemployed workers were the victims of a relatively limited change. This large drop puts talks of a national “living wage” — often proposed as $15 or more — in serious doubt. California has a relatively high cost of living, which means all else being constant, a $20 minimum wage would have an even larger unemployment effect where average wages are lower. Very interesting. 18k jobs lost due to good intentions. Another D fiasco. mspart

People want the media to think for them - ‘cause thinking hurts. And you know what hurts even more? Standing up against the dominant pro-Israel narrative. But injustice is injustice, whether it comes from a Muslim, a Jew, or a Christian. -
