  1. I would actually really like to see Senior Level Parris. I think he’s ready. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Who is “they”? Anyone quoting CPI is using that. Current CPI is 3.2%. https://www.bls.gov/cpi/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Uh, no, the CPI includes those. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. “Folks not wanting to work”. That’s code for “people don’t want to work for the crap wages I want to pay them.” If you can’t find qualified applicants, the problem is YOU. No company that pays well has ANY problem finding qualified employees. The jobs I’ve hired people for had dozens of very qualified applicants. We expanded by 40% in the last three years. The only person we’ve had resign took another position with our company in a different state, in order to be closer to his family. The guy we hired to replace him had three other offers. And, America has the lowest inflation of any large western democracy. UK, Germany, Italy, France, Belgium, Netherlands are all above the US. Large companies taking advantage of the pandemic to make record profits is a feature of (vulture) capitalism. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. What are the changes to the tax code that have been signed into law by Biden? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. You guys realize that the OP tried to pin the singer’s lyrics to Biden, right? Like, that’s the actual title of the thread. Do you understand irony? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. I have to wonder what kind of weird ass echo chamber you live in when you don’t know that Alex Jones is a horrible excuse for a human being. His lawsuits were national news. He’s an intestinal parasite feeding off of the shit of humanity. Exploiting horrific tragedies, over and over and over, for personal gain, by selling trash to people who lack any kind of critical thinking ability, moral compass or empathy. That’s his entire business model. To answer the question: when you call the murders of 20 children and 6 adult staffers, and then the demonization, stalking, and profiteering that Alex Jones participated in, “that sandy hook thing” it has the appearance that you’re minimizing how absolutely horrifying all of it was, and continues to be. This is still going on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. As to the difference in between other journalists and Jones: The vast majority of them aren’t found liable for defamation not once, but twice, in two different defamation cases in two different states. They also don’t fund and promote the harassment of the families of murder victims to generate content. And then, destruction of evidence that proves he knew it was a lie.

  9. He’s roughly the same height as Real Woods, who I don’t consider to be a giant 141. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Pretty common. Carter Starocci wrestled at 182 in HS. Zack Ryder wrestled 189 in HS and just took bronze at 79kg/174lbs at U17 worlds. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. “The Sandy Hook thing.” You just did it again. Alex Jones and his associates hounded the families of the kids and adults who died at Sandy Hook relentlessly. Jones raised money for, and provided a camera crew to, a guy who stalked the families and extended for years. That same guy posted their addresses and other personal information. An Infowars camera crew regularly attended school board meetings in Newtown and cast doubt on the deaths of 20 first graders and 6 staffers. Jones claimed that a father of a kid who was shot through the head didn’t hold his dead son when he was allowed to see his body at the school. Jones actively advocated for people to harass the families of the victims. https://apnews.com/article/health-us-news-shootings-texas-lawsuits-d029d6736d2ce6755c9e89e7cf9f27af Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  13. It’s kind of wild how you trivialize the deaths of children, and the subsequent demonization of their parents by the person in question. The piece of shit you’re referencing was sued, found liable, and then moved his assets around in order to minimize any financial liability. He made hundreds of millions of dollars spreading lies he knew to be lies, and then turned turtle like the whiny little shit he is when it came time to pay the piper.

  14. The Swiderski to 157 thing never made sense to me. He’d be a very short 157. Give up a lot of reach. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Because red states generally have significantly higher poverty rates, significantly lower educational attainment, lower opportunity and resultant higher murder, SA and violent crime rates. Also, you’re a fan of painting with broad strokes. You keep using the word “all”, when it’s painfully clear that, if you read jross’s article, many “progressive” cities have murder rates well below the national average (LA, NYC, and SF for starters). If progressive policies were truly responsible for high murder rates, SF would top the charts. But it’s not even close to the national average, at 2.6 per 100,000 vs 7.8 nationally.

  16. The authors of that article conveniently ignore the fact that violence is closely tied to poverty and education. And, as it turns out, state policies in red states result in greater poverty and thus, greater overall murder rates. It’s also hilarious that they list NYC and Alvin Bragg as a “Soros funded prosecutor” as if NYC has a murder problem. Per the chart that they provided, NYC is sitting at 2.2 per 100,000, which is about a quarter of the national average. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. Now do states. Helpful hint: The murder rate is higher in red states. The top 3 and 7 of the top 10 voted strongly R in 2020. Unfortunately, this is not an R vs. D issue. It’s most strongly correlated to poverty, which knows no political affiliation. After that, education, which is perhaps why a city like Boston has such a low murder rate. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/sosmap/homicide_mortality/homicide.htm Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  18. Let’s perhaps start with Kushner’s access to SAP information that he had absolutely no need-to-know. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  19. I’m not sure what his justification would be other than, “Some other people got an extra year.” The guy got four seasons. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. It’s great that they feel reassured, I suppose? Personally, I’d prefer to use actual crime statistics rather than the word of stranger, but that’s just my opinion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. Unfortunately, even if you remove urban areas from red states, they still have higher murder, SA, and other violent crime rates than blue states. Meaning, non-urban, red-leaning areas drive the violent crime rate up. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  22. McHenry would be an NCAA champ at 118 under the current weigh-in rules. He’s a kid who walks around at 125 wrestling guys who weigh 10+ lbs more than him. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  23. Poor, rural, bright red areas. At least, according to the last several decades of FBI crime statistics. States with lowest violent crime rate: New York, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont. States with highest violent crime rate: Arkansas, Alabama, Louisiana, Tennessee and Alaska.

  24. It’s carried in water droplets when you cough, which are very much large enough to be stopped by a mask. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. Gabe Arnold can back up his words against Starocci in the dual. Perfect. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
