While that might be true, why is it up to the government and the nation at large to train people to fill 5000 jobs? They should have their own pipeline set up that they fund so they can train the next generation of mechanics.


If he is suggesting that this is a result of many people going to college who really shouldn't be there because of the extreme ease of student loans, he may have a point.

I'd also say it doesn't have much to do with Trump either


One of the major reasons is the recalibration following pandemic hiring. Firms were hiring more than needed due to work restrictions in some states.

Officials told Just the News that the documents were transmitted to the Senate Judiciary Committee in recent days and detail numerous instances of foreigners and even a U.S. defense contractor seeking to curry favor with the Clintons through donations to their family charity, including when Hillary Clinton served as secretary of State

I'm sure it's just a coincidence that the biggest donor to the Clinton Foundation prior to the overthrow of the Ukrainian government was a Ukrainian oligarch who stood to make a fortune from a new economic deal with the EU.

From what I’ve understood when you appeal to move districts, there has to be a unanimous vote from the district to let you leave, and unanimous from another district to except said team into a new district.


This is not true

It will get more people into houses in the short term, but as with everything, when you increase demand faster than supply prices will skyrocket.


And we are already behind in supply

News at 10: Democrats are economically illiterate!


Don’t confuse corruption with incompetence
Yes, and a 6-4 team missed the playoffs because they had the second lowest strength of schedule in all of 5A

Scheduling five open dates in 5A is absolutely brutal. It’s even worse when you are a good program because no one will play you. Forcing six open dates on Catholic, Central, and Zachary is borderline criminal

It’s going to be those three and the LP schools next year.
quote:

But you can have a 5 team district and if Liberty is improving it will be competitive as hell


Five team district in 5A is basically impossible. It’s nearly impossible to schedule 5A games with a six team district.

It’s going to be the big three plus LP.

Don’t just zone out when I talk to you. I used to not care about this but I am growing increasingly less tolerant of this.


Maybe you aren’t worth the effort
quote:

But didn’t Livingston and Ascension specifically want to get away from Catholic? That’s why they formed their own district


And Zachary.

It should never have been allowed - schools shouldn’t get to hand pick their district to run from competition.

It’s all moot though. Scotlandville will be 4A next year which means EBR will only have five 5A schools left.

Geographically, it makes the most sense to combine Central, Catholic, and Zachary with the LP schools. That will be a pretty tough district in all sports.

AP would get Woodlawn which is already next to AP, and Liberty.
quote:

Pville wins and will make their first playoffs ever. Hopefully we can play someone tough for a bit next week.

But we will be much better next season


Their district probably gets easier next year too. Mostly likely scenario is the Livingston Parish schools are combined with Zachary, Central, and Catholic and the AP schools pick up Liberty and Woodlawn.

End of the game was something I’ve never seen before. We get a first down. Go to clock it. Clock it successfully. Clock stops. Ref says it doesn’t count because the chains weren’t set. Rolls the clock. Our kids don’t have a clue as we are screaming to clock it. Mass confusion. Last play is a cluster. Ball game.


Had the ball been set for play?

While "it may be a new phenomenon for many to use new pronouns or to avoid using pronouns, it is certainly possible,” Stranch wrote, adding that “social mores around pronouns have shifted over the course of American history, and these shifting mores have not suddenly rendered people unable to speak.”


Framing this as a grammar issue is hysterical.

Sorry, I’m not lying to appease your delusion.

40% of people born in 1900 would be expected to live until 65. However, many of them would die in the years between 1900-1937. Of the people born in 1900 who were still alive in 1937, a much greater percentage would be expected to live to 65+. In fact, the life expectancy of a 65 year old male in 1940 was 77 LINK.

So it stands to reason that a large majority of people in the US who were born in 1900 and lived until 1937 would be expected to live to 65+. Certainly much more than 40%.


Except that isn’t at all the metric you would use to determine the effectiveness of the age threshold for SS

So it isn’t complicated

We all agree that a company with a trillion dollar compensation package for it's CEO should never receive a single dime or subsidy from the US government right?


We do not agree.

I am anti-subsidy, but if the subsidy is available in the market, companies should not be excluded based on their success.

Why do dumbassess even try to pull this shite?


Because 80% of GOP constituents and 100% of DNC constituents are economically retarded.

So I offered the metric that shows that Americans who were approaching 40 at the time SS was introduced were more likely than not, not going to live to 65.



quote:

LOL. That is not at all what you posted. Look at it again.


quote:

About 40% of people born in 1900 survived to 65 or older.


The first social security payments were made in 1937. Americans born in 1900 would have been 37 years old at the time ("approaching 40"). Of that cohort of people, only around 40% would go on to make it 65 years old.

So they, more likely than not, were going to die before age 65.

Again, this isn't complicated

How can Tesla expect such ridiculous valuation?

They don’t come close to the total sales of someone like Ford but their valuation is over 1 trillion while Ford is around 50bn


Because Tesla isn't a car company
