Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
After DeSantis suspends Worrell, new leadership fires staffer on maternity leave Keisha Mulfort, the former chief of staff for the State Attorney’s Office and Worrell, went on leave on May 30, the day her daughter was born. She has spent time in the hospital due to birth-related complications, she ...

Re: Political memes, Posters, Funny Pics, Etc.
I can work with your correction but disagree on the need for the regulatory state to grow. I see just as much corruption in that as the companies they are supposedly to have oversight on (Banking is the most recent example and the EPA has been caught taking multiple shortcuts, which are against the...

Re: The Official "Making America Woke Again" Thread
Not all PFAS are created equal and be careful making blanket statements. The "science" on this is very much up in the air and is heavily disputed. Just as much bunk science in this as during COVID. :twocents: Good to know. I read one article on Google, so it keeps sending me hits on the s...

Re: The Official "Making America Woke Again" Thread
My issue is I'm disparagingly known as a curebie. I want a cure for my son and many autism supporters are aghast I want to "change" my son. This abhorrence is usually from neurotypicals or high functioning autistics. They have no idea. In regards to the increase in transgenderism and auti...

Re: Political memes, Posters, Funny Pics, Etc.
I can get behind the argument (from a small business side) they both suck. From a large business, regulatory standpoint, the current D's are much worse. The current EPA has proposed rule making that would effectively shutter half of our coal and gas fired power plants. Going to be hard to charge al...

Re: Political memes, Posters, Funny Pics, Etc.
As a former small business owner and manager in a highly D controlled regulatory state but with a R controlled local government I disagree. They both suck.

Re: Political memes, Posters, Funny Pics, Etc.
Depends on how you want to read the graph. I think it's pretty telling, and I'd say positive, that from 1970 to 2021, the percentage of people considered "low income" dropped from 25% to 10%. That's awesome, people are moving upwards in large numbers. And it doesn't stop there, the percen...

The ends justify the means. :coffee: And in 2020, with COVID, with Trump, I could get running him. But he's only gotten worse in the past couple of years. I understand that he's really just a figurehead at this point and there's a whole team behind him who are really running the show and dictating ...

Re: 2024 elections Congressional & State
We have a market economy here in the U.S., it is not a mixed one like China and Russia, etc. Allowing people the freedom to make their own choices will always be more efficient than trying to force a regimented system on a diverse population (extra steps always increase inefficiency). The trick is ...

Re: 2024 elections Congressional & State
Your second and third paragraphs implementation (based on your past posts) are in conflict with your "Limited government" statement. So far you advocate for reducing spending in some areas (military, etc) but ballooning spending elsewhere (social) which would increase the administrative s...

Re: Team Trump v/s Everyone
In the actual settlememt language FNC didn’t admit to any lies. The whiny CNN anchor in the tweet above is right about that. The owner stating it outweighs the lack of language in the settlement agreement. You and JSO sure like to try to limit the scope of the debate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapa...
