  1. I've been looking at this topic for a while on the women's side. In 2015, this was the ASICS All American scene. https://www.teamusa.org/USA-Wrestling/Features/2015/July/16/ASICS-names-2015-Girls-High-School-All-American-Team Only 6 of them are still wrestling out of 72 entries on this list.
  2. Also, companies with large cash reserves typically go on M&A sprees during these times.
  3. Minnesota says, "Hold my beer!" https://friendlyatheist.substack.com/p/mn-lawmaker-schools-must-teach-kids
  4. My daughter figuratively pats me on the head whenever I reminisce about my wrestling 'career'. Thankfully, I still outweigh her so she has to tread lightly.
  5. Doesn't look like it.
  6. The costs associated with traveling to these tournaments dwarf the prize money. Luckily, club teams and USAW pick up that portion.
  7. The pigeonholing of which people within the GOP's bent to destroy Social Security said what at what time is tedious. If you want to have a conversation, lets have a conversation. If you want to strut around splitting hairs, I'll just ignore you.
  8. Do you honestly think a significant portion of the employers will change their payroll policies and programs to facilitate for SS/MC tax avoidance on the part of their employees? I contend the relationship between income cap removal/limit and additional revenue collection is linear or near enough so to not matter.
  9. Top 3 placers. $5K for first.
  10. They matter, but they're less bound to reality. "Please attend our ranking tournaments!"
  11. Maybe you could show how this particular example, eliminating the income cap on SS/MC taxes, isn't a linear relationship?
  12. Or UWW's
  13. Moving the goalposts a little there? If you actually want to discuss the issues civilly, stop including the snide commentary.
  14. As I said, it's an older document that covered more options. I included a newer document that has newer numbers but not all the options included in the older document. "Raising the current 80,400 limit to 100,000" fixes 26% of the shortfall back when this document was compiled. Extrapolation is a thing.

  16. Dom Parrish 104-9 in college. Sadly, wrestlestat doesn't seem to cover the women.
  17. A bunch of information here. https://www.usawmembership.com/usaw_events/2300005602
  18. Second page, second row of the table. Look for "Increase wages subject to Social Security tax"
  19. I'm multitasking!!
  20. It's a terrible idea. Flat out. The GOP has perennially has said they want to cut, freeze, change social security over the past three decades. To argue otherwise is disingenuous.
  21. Here's a good breakdown of the options: https://www.actuary.org/sites/default/files/pdf/socialsecurity/votingcard_0801.pdf It's an older article. Here's something more recent https://www.cnbc.com/2022/08/03/changes-americans-are-willing-to-make-to-fix-social-security.html Removing the cap entirely, taxed through the 147K-400K range, would likely (can't find the article I found before) eliminate the shortfall entirely. Best I can do while I'm eating ramen.
  22. I did share my suspicion, you quoted it directly. I'm happy to discuss this topic. Let's go point by point instead of doing that ole Gish Gallup.
  23. 'Regulatory capture" is also an everpresent problem in rail.
  24. Simply removing the income cap for withholdings makes both programs solvent forever.
