Say what you want about me, but by the time I finish putting the kids and groceries in the car, if I’m more than a few spots from the cart return, I’m putting it right in the middle of the spot where four parking spots intersect so it’s not in the way of someone trying to park. I’m not leaving my vehicle with kids inside


Or just park next to a cart return so you don’t leave your shite for other people to have to pick up.

Why do people keep asking this when the answer is obvious as hell? Virginia Guiffre was killed for coming forward.

They don't because they don't want to be killed as well.


How would that change by testifying on behalf of the DOJ?
quote:

They are distracting you from the DOJ denying to hear the victims criminal complaints.


Serious question, what is stopping any of these alleged victims from walking into CNN and telling their story?

I agree with Matt Walsh's take on the Super Bowl commecial - there is nothing "silencing" these women. I would imagine every reporter in the world would run through a wall for an interview where names are dropped.
quote:

They contend that the policy “reinforces the gender stereotype that men are more dangerous than women.”


Stereotype? It’s 100% factual than men are more dangerous than women

Why should it be any different than catching a cab?


Because technology has allowed for a better option in the industry than cabs with the added bonus of being able to filter driver preference.

There are worse things in life than not being allowed to play varsity as a freshman,

It doesn't say you can't play, you just have to play JV or Freshman ball.


The LHSAA governs more sports than just football. A lot for sports don’t have JV/Freshmen competition because of lack of numbers - especially in the lower classes.

quote:

Seems like a more than fair trade off for someone who chooses to attend a school out of attendance zone.


Over half the schools in the LHSAA don’t operate under an attendance zone for admissions. It’s a relic of the past. That is my major issue with the current rules - the law and the local school board says a student can attend school X for high school but a minority of schools still operate under an archaic system, so we remove that student’s athletic eligibility for doing something completely legal and accepted.
quote:

Here's a more likely scenario: small school develops talent and is putting together a good run for a year or two. Sally Striker and Suzy goalkeeper have turned into strong candidates that could get playing time at the 5A school across town and leave their teammates high and dry senior year. So you really punish the kids ego are left behind who didn't do anything wrong the coaches that developed the talent don't get to enjoy the fruits of their labor, and now a whole team is worse off.


That is the rarer circumstance. Most transfers occur because the kid isn’t playing as much, there is a disagreement with the coaches, or the kid was cut.

The transfers we see with high end athletes are usually from a poorly run program to a better run program but, again, that’s a lower instance than above.
The problem is that a certain segment of society equates accountability with “hate”.

Frankly, when anyone uses the term “hate” in a political argument, I dismiss their opinion immediately.

Nothing a four day school week and the elimination of homework won't fix, right?


Finland is widely regarded as the best education system in the world with less time in school compared to the US and minimal homework.
Ultimately pretty forgettable. Nothing bad but nothing great.

I feel like most recent Super Bowl halftime shows are all basically the same thing. But I’m not the target audience for the halftime show.
quote:

How common is it for a wrestler to go undefeated in high school?


**for a season


Much more rare now than in the past because the top kids in the state now travel around the country to the best tournaments during the regular season.

The best high school wrestler in Louisiana history is a senior at Teurlings and he has three losses from the Ironman Tournament. He is currently ranked in the top ten in the country at his weight class.

The second best kid is from Acadiana. He has two losses from the Beast of the East Tournament.

But Ironman and Beast of the East are nationally renowned tournaments every year.

At this point, that plan has left the station


The rich pay basically all the taxes already. We have the most uneven tax code in the world.
quote:

Musk makes 3 billion more per year than every hourly employee in the world. NBD


“Make” is tricky. Basically all of Musk’s value is tied directly to the performance of his companies through his stock holdings. He actually “makes” no money in the traditional sense. He hasn’t taken a salary since I think 2019.

That’s why this whole “tax the billionaires” shite is so ridiculous to anyone who an ounce of economic sense. These guys entire value is illiquid.
quote:

Military spending = funding for billionaires. And Israel.


Private sector billionaires authorize military spending levels from tax revenue?
quote:

Pretty much all of the problems in this country are due to the greed of billionaires.


I can’t think of one problem in my life that was caused by a private sector billionaire or millionaire other than maybe Soros.

Now, politicians on the other hand …

Is it because it's now run by the widow of the founder of the WWE ?


No, I said “old” because the neo-reading instruction guidance predates McMahon’s time in the department.
quote:

The WWE founders wife is the head of education in this country.


You mean the woman who was the President and CEO of a billion dollar publicly traded company that saw a 100% increase in net revenue in her time at the helm?

:lol:
quote:

Ok, let's turn over education without any oversight to Mississippi, Louisiana,


Again, you are out of your element. Mississippi and Louisiana are currently kicking the shite out of New York and California in English and reading readiness and the major reason is because those states have rejected old Dept of Education measures on neo-reading techniques instead opting for classic phonetics instruction.
quote:

Why do you think the red states lag far behind the blue states ? It's education.


When was the last time you looked at state education rankings?

1. New Jersey
2. Florida
3. Colorado
4. Utah
5. Massachusetts
6. Wyoming
7. Wisconsin
8. South Dakota
9. Washington
10. Connecticut


The “quality” of education varies quite a lot on factors far beyond political positions and tax revenue.


quote:

You are the exception, I am the exception.


Not really. We have the highest standard of living in the world with the vast majority of be able to achieve that standard without assistance.


quote:

But, when almost all of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few, we are all going to be slaves.


Nonsense. Wealth isn’t a stagnant figure. The percentage concentration of wealth is fairly irrelevant if the overall wealth of a population continues to grow.

Now inflation is serious fricking issue for American families but that has nothing to do with billionaires in the private sector and everything to do with overprinting of currency by the government.
quote:

What will the GDP of this country be without teachers ?


Why would we ever worry about that scenario given that over the half the population is cognitively able to do that job?

It’s like asking what the GDP would be if cashiers suddenly disappeared.
