No it wouldn't. The bonds aren't created because Social Security has a demand for them. The bonds are created because the government needs to borrow money. SS is a captive lender. Invest SS in equities instead and the government will just need to auction more public securities. And how exactly would an "increased funds" be diverted? It would be against every law and every principal of retirement investing.

You are complaining about a decision that was made 89 years ago. Not even remotely the kind of thing the Dept of Gov Efficiency is said to be targeting.

Not in person. Watching on Flo.

Good man

I already typed my thoughts accurately.

What does one have to do with the other? How social security is invested has nothing to do with government waste. Social Security, by law, can only invest in federal debt securities (treasuries and social security specific forms of treasuries). Waste. No waste. It does not change how The Social Security Trust Fund is invested. Hell, if SS were to be allowed to invest in stocks imagine the idiotic political campaigns we would have to listen t. "Politician XYZ wants to take your hard earned retirement money away from you and GAMBLE it on Wall Street." That is an actual ad I listened to over and over again this election cycle.

Your paraphrasing ranges from poor to completely inaccurate.

I had not heard of this before. I took a quick peek at the website and it was intriguing. I will have to spend a little time deep diving/belly-flopping.

It's just a shame that we are going to lose so many posters on this message board. With working 80+ hours at their volunteer positions there just won't be any time for this tomfoolery. And I know you guys will heed the call, right?

Just started. Not that I know that from Netflix

Yes. Multiple reports of problems.

After this fight. Which is round 4 of 10.

Good thing you are not watching. Netflix cannot keep up. Freezing constantly.

I have in-laws who go to Trump rallies. We get along great.

After Dustin Schlatter won as a freshman in 2006 there was a three year dry spell (2007, 2008, 2009) before Dake came along. Before that, between Mark Branch in 1994 and Cael Sanderson in 1999 there was a four year dry spell (1995, 1996, 1997, 1998). The biggest gap, where freshmen were continuously eligible, was between Ed Banach and Matt Reiss in 1980 and Pat Smith in 1990.

You got it. 12-0 the second time around. But that was 2021 when everyone wrestled a reduced schedule due to the elimination of most tournaments. Steveson won it in 2022 with only 18 matches. While the rest of the finalists averaged 22. 2023 Mason Parris is the recent outlier with 33 matches when the field averaged 22. In 2024 the winner (Aaron Brooks) and the field average was at 22. Steveson is clearly good enough to win again with many fewer matches than his competition, but I have no idea how many fewer.

I have it on my bucket list to never run a half marathon. Not even in aggregate. So far, so good.

That was my biggest problem with the Yianni Diakonihalis situation. First he immediately grabs his head and looks woozy, then he looks OK, but then he clearly starts to fade in that match and his reaction time slows, but they kept going. Yes, some symptoms were delayed, but they were only delayed a little, and the new information was not processed fast enough. Tagovailoa having a fencing response on the field for all to see and then returning to the game was hard to understand.

You will be working so much you won't have time to spend money anyway?

For someone who professed to not caring about the financials, he tried comically hard to get out of the deal until he was forced to close.

So what does one of these 80+ hour per week, as yet unfunded, government jobs pay?

Talk about not accurate. This information is very easy to find. https://techcrunch.com/2024/09/29/fidelity-has-cut-xs-value-by-79-since-musk-purchase/

That is great news. Now maybe Fidelity can mark their investment up to down 78%.

I have my doubts about the protocols. And this is not a Cornell criticism, it is a sport criticism, but we saw it with Yianni Diakomihalis in Colorado at the challenge tournament against Nick Lee. He was so clearly concussed, but passed the protocols. Those were UWW protocols, not NCAA, but I think it is a sport wide problem. We seem to see if every week in the NFL, especially with Tua Tagovailoa. Tagovailoa has passed concussion protocols and returned to the game multiple times in his career when it is clear he should not have. I have no idea about Meyer Shapiro, as I have not even seen the match in question, I just do not think passing the concussion protocol is as definitive as it should be.
