RV is absolutely correct. Waste, fraud, fat, etc. is round off error. Eliminate it all and the problem is not solved. Not even close. So we should STFU about it as a means of balancing the budget. It is absolutely appropriate to go after it on the basis of corruption and individual culpability for lying, cheating, etc. But it has nothing to do with Moody's decision. Until we get back to the government doing only what it is authorized to do and nothing else we have no chance of balancing anything. RV is absolutely wrong about cutting the military budget as being anything useful in the big picture of federal budgeting. I do not see the federal government being authorized to fund a retirement scheme in the Constitution. I do not see the federal government taking money from one person and giving it to another person in the Constitution. I do not see the federal government being the main provider of medical services in the country in the Constitution. The politicians are expertly executing game theory here. Everyone knows (except true socialists who are innumerate) that this house of cards will tumble down. However, both sides also know that to do anything about it will result in political and electoral disaster for their side. So both are bluffing until the end. And it makes perfect sense from the incentive systems in place right now. The behavior is very rational - if you have a short term perspective of 5 - 10 years to worry about.

Its probably really hard to show your personality much when a mic is shoved in your face seconds after winning a match. I can see the appeal of defaulting to known responses built on percieved safe answers. Or in some cases like Brooks, somehow turning safe answers into defiant ones. I'd challenge anyone to stop training and just focus on prayer. Since we know that wouldn't lead to success, there are other variables *in addition to prayer* that accounted for success. The audience would like to hear about that too following victories.

Ok so specifically what part of the government is he running?

Crazy if true.

For all of August Wesley's wrestling accomplishment I can't seem to find a single video of him competing in wrestling on YouTube. Odd.

You could play the UFC game and just not throw kicks and punches

Now he’s on tour. With random media outlets. Saying the same exact “story”. I feel like it’s the twilight zone megyn Kelly interview https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP863g7Fb/ Katie couric https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP863oXnW/ the media is a joke

I'm unaware of Minnesota's roster makeup, but are you sure a 7th year Chris Cannon who went 5-10 over the past two seasons (5-9 last year) is an upgrade over what they have currently?

We shouldn't be letting Musk run the govt. It's a conflict of interest. This is very simple.

"You never see [Trump] around strong intelligent women."- Mark Cuban

So nobody actually sees a specific problem here. We are just back to orange man bad & musk man likes orange man so musk man bad. Got it.

Sorry, kiddo. You don't get to assign homework here.

Cannon's concussion issues make me think 141, as well. People with concussion issues have cardio issues as well, which exacerabate as you cut weight.

So who else has a reusable rocket system for launching satellites? Are you suggesting we should go back to spending multiple times this amount and just have NASA do all the launches. Or are you suggesting we shouldn't have satellites in space. I need to know the specific problem so I can write my congressperson.

What are you trying to say, wrestling fans are not as smart as the general public ?

So name the 5 largest ones.

Literally the first google hit. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/elon-musks-us-department-defense-contracts-2025-02-11/ Literally the second google hit. https://www.newsweek.com/elon-musk-inking-multibillion-dollar-pentagon-deal-amid-doge-cutsreport-2055663 People are going to start thinking you're disingenuous.

The most damning part of that headline is that there is such a thing as "Conservative Media". Jakey boy tacitly admits that he is, therefore, in the leftist biased media. How about we just have . . . facts? Perhaps it is too much to ask that we don't have to know the bias of the source in order to understand and analyze (i.e. trust) the information of PROFESSIONAL JOURNALISTS?!? Isn't that the purpose of professional "Schools of Journalism" and degrees, etc.? Leftist Journalist professors ruined their profession and now we have heaping piles (and growing) of evidence that we don't hate the media enough. This post should probably be in that other thread also. https://www.mediaite.com/media/tv/jake-tapper-admits-conservative-media-was-right-about-biden-during-frank-megyn-kelly-interview/?cfp

OMG. He has contracts at many federal agencies but military is a huge one. You need to quit listening to Fox News and get up to date on current events. A simple Google search will help you out.

Yes, because you went to school in the US. We use a lot of English here. It still says Cape Verde on the map in the room that I am in now. They have just asked that everyone call them "Cabo Verde" at the UN, Olympics, etc. I assume you say "Deutschland" at international competitions?

LOL. Nope. Gonna drop a lot more in the future. Hard to predict when. The bond market is a big problem right now due to the reckless proposed GOP budget that has zero regard to the bloating deficit. Tariff issues are not even close to being resolved yet either.

What are these major contracts?

Markets are off ~1% is this the great plunge? What say you Mr. RV - Financial Adviser, should we now buy back in or continue to sell short?
