Crowknowsbest

Quality has declined over the past few years imo. I bought some 5 years ago that made it 3-4 years. Bought some more last year that are already wearing out.

Also have some of their underwear. I like them but nothing groundbreaking.

I made this same assertion back in early May. Crowknowsbest and Kneehigh disagreed.

I disagree that local guys are going to be loyal because they’re local. How often have we talked about the struggles of UGA to “own the state”, even pre NIL. It’s irrational to think that was true but now we all of a sudden enjoy some state loyalty ensuring top talent passes on meaningful money with any frequency. If UGA can’t pay market for top talent, some undervalued “loyal” 3* is unlikely to save us.

Even if UGA did prove to be adept at finding underappreciated 3*s, what happens when a Miami comes in and offers a few million dollars after their sophomore year? Maybe UGA pays up to keep them, but they aren’t staying for a 3* salary.

UGA’s only hope at getting a huge discount is proving out elite pro development and winning big. Both will be hard without winning some of these money wars.

Something to keep in mind with UFOs being so much in the news lately.

For sure. If the aliens are capable of mounting an intergalactic invasion of earth, we are almost definitely fricked, but if we allow them to land and assemble peacefully that “almost” goes away.

I agree with you in general. I do like beach towns with good bars, restaurants, etc and sitting on a nice elevated waterfront deck is an elite place to have a beer.

When hanging out on the beach itself, I always find that I’m managing a degree of discomfort (heat, sand, etc.). It’s also a chore to haul shite down there, especially with kids.

You have time. You just don't want to adress it because it actually SHOWS ENTITLEMENT CUTS!

Some, but then also entitlements added.

Allowing American people to keep more of their hard earned money is "bad policy"? Securing the southern border is "bad policy"?

---

I’ve already addressed the southern border piece. I don’t think it’s bad policy. I think a wall is an inefficient tactic.

I think giving a tip carve out to win more votes from service workers in Nevada is a bad policy.

quote:

---

I think we should also use those ways, but a wall will be very helpful and will keep our border more secure when we have presidents in power who have no interest in securing our border.

---

If a future president truly has no interest, the wall will not be an effective deterrent. It will be easily breached and require constant repair and maintenance.

quote:

Did you also argue that the border was secure under biden?

---

No.

Don't recall all of those boondoggle reports from the lefty media during Trumps first term.

---

Basically every large government infrastructure projects runs way over budget and schedule. Whatever they say it will cost is almost certainly a wild underestimate.

quote:

---

EVERY person that recieves tips or works overtime saves money by not having to pay tax...

---

Why should those people get special treatment?

quote:

---

If you can't see how all of this saves us money, you're the problem.

---

How does not taxing tips and overtime save us money?

Also, anyone who thinks that construction of a border wall would be anything but a boondoggle is insane.

quote:

---

If you pay taxes and generally provide a net positive to society, you truly are an anomaly on this planet.

Some people are blessed with the genius/vision to lay out substantial, productive and positive things, others have the competence to execute on those plans, and others have the social wherewithal to coordinate neutral contributors and convince the general public of the appeal of those positive things. Very few people can do multiple of the above, and most people can’t do any of them or are actively negative contributors.
