I thought they had to at least pursue an education but I'm hearing they can take a typing course and still post. Is that right?

The Democratic proposal to tax unrealized gains is an incredibly bad idea. The current proposal is on anyone worth more than $100 million with at least 80% of their worth in liquid assets. There are almost too many things wrong with this to list, but hear goes. - There is no way over time that $100 million will remain the limit. It will soon be $10 million, then $1 million, then $500k, etc. Governments have zero discipline. A new kind of revenue will always be grown. And the only exemption will be for legislators. - The value of illiquid assets will suddenly become the province of the one entity that stands to gain from inflating that opinion. The moral hazard here is clear. - The value used for liquid assets will also be incorrect. For valuation purposes of equities, for example, we use the closing price. But this is typically the price of buying or selling a very small number of shares. Anyone covered by the tax will likely own a large number of shares. Forced selling to meet a tax obligation will depress those shares, meaning more shares will need to be sold to raise 25% of the incorrect value, meaning the effective tax will be greater than 25%. Meanwhile, all of our shares will also be worth less, and not for economic reasons. - Anyone wealthy enough to be covered by the tax initially is also wealthy enough to leave the country. Capital flight will be real. - The incentive is perverse. One theory of taxation is you tax the thing you want less of. Similar to tariffs, it makes the thing more expensive and incentivizes people to seek alternatives. The alternative to investing is consuming. And like tariffs it makes the alternative more expensive by removing competitive pressure. So we consume more at inflated prices, so we get less. I am sure there are other reasons as well that I haven't thought of. What say all of you?

As a FYI, I did download Brave Beta just to test it out and I have had zero issues with it. I don't want to advocate using it, because I understand the need for advertisements. That said, I have used it for less than 48 hours (I logged in at 7:25 PM two days ago, so ~43 hours). These numbers do startle me, however I am unsure how 'bad' they actually are. For clarification: I have only visited these forums with this browser, so the numbers are exclusive to this site.

And another one: “Walz’s depiction of himself as an innocent high school geography teacher, uninvolved in politics until he and his students were wronged by George W. Bush, is false–like pretty much everything Walz says. Any time Tim Walz is talking, if you assume that he is lying you are probably right.“ https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2024/08/tim-walz-lies-again.php

Gerrit Nijenhaus is also on the team, remember...

Here's a real world example. Let say ~30 years ago I bought some farm land for $1,500/ac and its now worth $16,500/ac. In this theoretical example I've been paying the property taxes on the increasing assessed value every year along with the increasing income taxes every year. Now I'm faced with taxes on an unrealized $3M gain. How am I going to pay that? Now you could say doesn't apply since not a liquid asset but just like the $100M to $1M to &500k as Wkn indicated once politicians get their claws in a new revenue stream they will just keep expanding. But to the liquid asset point. Let's say Wkn drives down to Kentucky to purchase a full barrel of his favorite bourbon. But let's be real, if he makes the drive he's gonna fill the truck with four barrels, but I digress. As soon as he leaves the distillery for some reason that bourbon just went up in value 50%. Liquid assets, tax law applies to Wkn when is he going to pay the tax? Will he try to consume before filling taxes? Now you might ask how long would it take Wkn to consume a full barrel of bourbon but thats not the point.

There are no semi normal wrestlers. We are all weird.

Day 8 Week one down

While you're at it, can we get rid of the stupid bob dole face as the default reaction? It was funny for about 5 seconds but time to move back to the standard thumbs-up.

57kg: I expect Luke to medal I think he is world level for seniors let alone u20's. In his way I think will be Valizadeh from Iran who was the 2023 senior world rep for iran and grabbed two wins over an unknown and Rzazde from Azerbijan who is tough. He also has a win over Horst Lehr who infamously pinned thomas gilman. There is also the Japan rep who I am sure is good and then Pavlov from Russia who recently won euros but Luke beat him last year 9-2. Prediction: gold but Iran worries me 61kg: I think Marcus Blaze is the best high school wrestler I've ever seen just given the accolades of the guys hes beaten as well as how sound his defense is, that being said this weight is brutal. Jamal Abbasov took second at Euros and beat ben davino 5-0 at cadets last year. The guy he lost to at Euros 6-1 is Andrei Midlovets who teched his way to the finals before beating Abbasov. Ono from Japan was up at 65kg for the senior Asian championships where he took third only falling to tumur ochir. Edik Harutyunyan is also a returning bronze from 57kg last year. Prediction: Gold Blaze is that dude 65kg: I am very interested to see how Bo does here. I think his pace could be a serious issue for the international guys. I am worried that he snaps guys into his legs sometimes and that could prove to put him in a hole he can't dig himself out of. Abdullah toprak doubled up on bronze medals last year at u20's and u23's taking a 3-1 loss to Mendez at u20's. He also managed to score 4 points on Amouzad this year which is 4 more than Zain scored. The Iranian is also a returning Bronze medalist from last year and won the asian championships this year as well as a cadet gold in 2021. Hosokawa from Japan took 5th at the emperors cup. He took bronze at Asians last year and has a win over 2022 u20 champ Jalalov. Prediction: Bronze for Bassett 70KG: Would be a bit surprised if Duke did not win gold I think his only fault is he gets a bit tired but what he did to kannon webster twice was quite insane. Karampour from iran teched his way through asians so hes definitely a stud. Baitukaev did the same through Euros and I think will be his biggest test. He took Bronze last year and lost to Meyer 8-0. It was a match that came down to a few exchanges though but I still think its a match I favor PJ in. Prediction: Gold for Duke 74kg: Similarly to Duke I think Dee should be the favorite at this weight. Yaprak from Turkey is tough he took third and 5th and u20 and u23 euros ironically the third was in u23's. Locketts biggest threat is Reza from Iran who took silver at 70kg last year losing to Meyer 11-6. He teched his way through Asians and took third at the second ranking series beating Bayramov 5-0 and actually going the distance with zhamolov losing 7-0. Prediction: Gold for Lockett I will do the second half in a bit I've grown tired.

No transfers.... just HS recruiting... how is your class looking? Obviously kids could still flip if they aren't signed and not all the kids are committed yet. I am pretty happy with what Oregon State has been doing. The 2025 class is shaping up pretty well IMO. Khale McDonnell - CA - State placer - currently ranked #3 in CA at 215 Koy Davidson - Iowa - Knocked off 3x defending champ #10 Carter Freeman to win a state title last year. Manuel Saldate - #17 - 3x NV state champ, Fargo AA, Slam Academy kid with Chase Pami I believe Jeff Lopez - CA state runner up - knocked off Cortez in the semis last season. Took a break from wrestling for a couple years and came back with a bang. He has been ranked previously. Adrien Reyes - #11 CA 2x state placer, Fargo champ, #11 at 175 Not a 2025 guy, but we added a very late 2024 in Moses Mirabal - CA state champ who was originally committed to Brown.

Real graduated from Stanford with a college degree in psychology. Post your undergrad accolades. Also. Post all your unpaid debts. lol.

Shh. Don't tell anyone but I even went to the dark side and got a Blackstone Griddle.

only if you use charcoal

He did have the, 'Buckaroos.'

Tyrus said he doesn’t list the 6 minutes he worked at Arby's on his resume, either.

We can hope he can as hope can give us what we hope for and can be the way we can become unbound by what has been at least we can hope it will be.

all trump has to do is shut his mouth and let her word salad spoil all over her can he do it?

I believe Suriano as well as a couple other of their recent transfers obtained a “certificate” in real estate development

Northern Illinois got three incoming transfers from North Dakota State this summer. 197 Spencer Mooberry, 285 Devon Dawson, and 165 Landen Johnson. Poster on the NDSU board pointed out that Northern Illinois hired former Bison McGwire Midkiff this summer as an assistant coach. https://niuhuskies.com/news/2024/7/1/mcgwire-midkiff-joins-wrestling-coaching-staff.aspx

So its more of a jealously thing. Maybe we should enact a jealously tax, if a majority of the people vote to be jealous of someone's wealth then the government can take 25% of their assets, but maybe 25% isn't their fair share so let's make it 50% of their assets. btw: I want 50% of Wkn's best bourbon.

I think you meant NinjaCheese9

I'm usually unwilling to deal with this many large pop-up ads in order to see p o r n.

It’s time to come home to us

My financial advisor isn’t worried about that passing. Which I’m not sure makes me happy or crazy lol. With that said this is the by far best evidence it won’t edit: (sorry…. I clicked an ad. Then I clicked save. Accidental.)

Kamela still hasn’t said anything about her close call with the pipe bomb on jan. 6th.

suspending the constitution? how so? i know the dems want to get rid of the 1A and 2A as far as screaming how bad the country is... that's dems for the most part. 'the usa is racist, blah blah blah. Im gonna move it trump is elected etc MOVE. of course they didn't. but if you look, there are some horrible things going on... mostly ... b/c of their policies this is where make america great AGAIN comes from...

I use both, and the site is unusable on both in its current state. On my phone currently though and am seeing the pop ups.

This is some interesting reading https://www.yahoo.com/news/harris-said-shed-sign-the-bipartisan-border-bill-that-trump-stopped-heres-whats-in-it-183310125.html

Jagger is my favorite...

The BobDole is a combination of the old wtf & The is a combination of the old Thanks &

I just don't know what half the emojis even mean. I'm sure they're hilarious for some, but a simple Facebook-like thumbs-up as the default is best. And to the people giving the Bob Dole reaction to my above post, I see you (and still don't know what it means).

and some more

Again, I don't hate or 'can't stand". I acknowledge what I see, and have a little guilty pleasure in calling out the incredibly hypocritical MAGA minions. It's hard for the minions to see this within themselves, and as such, I can see why you are confused. As I have tried to explain to you before, I could truly care less about Trump these days, he is now irrelevant and will be going away very soon. As far as the incident being politicized, you are absolutely right, it was. But in this case, not by the media, but by the candidate's campaign that used video no one is ever allowed to shoot for a campaign ad. Reporting on that is not infused bias, it is reporting on the events, as described by the Arlington Cemetary and the pentagon. Maybe you think since MAGA is telling you it was something else, you immediately believe them becasue....well I mean they don't lie right, only their opponents As for your last sentence: "crush on Kamala". Can you go and find where I have said anything in favor of Kamala that would lead you to believe I have a crush on her, or is that just am emotional response? (Don't worry you have already made clear you're not interested in actually backing up what you claim). Or, maybe you are of the ilk that believes if someone is not a fan of a candidate on one side, they must love the other side. And "panties in a bunch"......... well when someone has to go to these kinds of comments, we all know the kind of effect the conversation is having on them.

congress will spend the most

Brave Browser on my PC doesn't have any annoying ads. So for me it seems that the problem is on the mobile browser.

You certainly understand that you are making shit up for clicks? Pay your damn debts. Maybe then we can get fewer ads.

I got an audio ad. Unsure where it came from. I did not click. It made me very angry. I likely accidently clicked something. But couldn't find it to stop it

She may want to get on tv and talk to someone. A reporter…… Whatever and let them know what her policies actually are. It’s like she fell out of a coconut tree. don’t worry. I haven’t been to Europe either b

I just don't understand why some on here always feel like others are "mad", "angry", "afraid"...again, did I miss the memo that said when you are losing a debate you need to accuse others of those things and somehow that makes you feel like you are "winning" and/or that you are somehow a "better" person???

Iowa should go get Figueroa next. Might as well just take ASU’s entire roster at this point.

THIS HAS TO HAPPEN. If you said I could have the money it would make or only get to watch it I'd forgo the cash.

End of an era. We are lucky with what Art Martori invested into the sport, especially before the RTC model took shape and it seemed like all the top guys were relying on Sunkist. Not to mention saving the ASU program. A true friend of the sport and USA wrestling.

Hopefully Zeke and ASU made plans for after. If so we will get some sort of announcement that SWRTC or ARTC or some other RTC has 'formed' there pretty soon.
