Enjoy the lot lizards my friend! You've earned it.

My parents did it. Bathe at night, open the windows and turn on the attic fan, then sleep on top of the covers. You get used to it I suppose.

I was recently wondering if those places are going to hold their value. They developed like mad down there and it is catnip for Boomers. But there's a population dropoff after Boomers and I can't see Gen X moving there at the same rate. Everything there just seems Boomer centric but what happens when they all die or shuffle off to nursing homes?

I've thought about this in the context of those threads where some financial study reveals that more than X% of people aged Y have less than $30,000 saved for retirement or whatever.

I mean, what's the solution here? Desirable areas are getting more and more unaffordable, wages are stagnant and a lot of people clearly aren't saving for retirement.

The math doesn't work out. I think the solution for a lot of people is going to be move to BFE and drastically downsize your lifestyle. It's either that or work yourself to death with multiple low paying jobs that will still hire old flameouts.

None of these are what the OP said

What the hell are you talking about? The OP is clearly talking about a team taking multiple QBs in the same draft. It's been done before and it will be done again. Several people in this thread have listed examples and you keep saying that's not what the OP said.

Is it a good strategy? I guess that would depend on a lot of different circumstances but it's not completely off the wall in an era when teams are willing to tie up over 25% of their cap space in one position or mortgage their future with a bounty of draft picks for one proven FA. Tossing out a late draft pick on a Plan B diamond in the rough doesn't cost much and it lights a fire under the butt of Plan A.

Wizard of OZ has several:

Not in Kansas anymore.

Yellow Brick Road.

No place like home.

The man behind the curtain.

Melting (as in to freak out over something, although this oddly became colloquialized long after the film's release).

Shaduer is Deion. They're the same person.

While Deion has always been a Primadona, let's not forget the dude could always play some serious damn football once the whistle blew. He never took plays off. He locked down half the field. He got in the head of every opponent he faced. He begged to return punts when he was one of the highest value players in the league. He played both ways when he was in his 30s.

Granted the QB position is a different animal but if you're concerned about the "Prime Time" apple falling to close to the tree, don't think that's going to translate into JaMarcus Russell or Vince Young. If he fails it will be because of his arm strength and pocket awareness.

Japanese people wear them like they're belts. And that was before Covid.

Mel was griping big about Aaron Rodgers too. Let's not forget that. And he was dead on right.

They should compromise and tax it separately at the rate it would be if it was standalone pay, instead of lumping it in to bump up tax liability.

So let's say you make $25/hr. You work 2000 regular hours and 320 OT hours. You should be taxed on $50,000 and $12,000 income separately (as if you worked two different jobs) rather than taxed on $62,000. You just don't get the standard deduction or EITC for the OT portion.
