    Inflation Still Hanging On

    Federal income tax is just one line item of overall tax burden. The real number we should be looking at is total tax burden and how that lines up with income. If you look at total income vs. total tax burden compared to the rest, the richest aren't really suffering that much. The top 1% pays...

    Inflation Still Hanging On

    We have a system now where the wealthiest companies and citizens pay little to no taxes. So, he missing the answer to part of the problem, fix our tax system to honestly tax for what we are spending, lest we end up inflating away our middle class savings. How can Tesla, which made Elon Musk the...

    If our new President is serious about reducing grocery prices, especially in rural areas, here’s the answer directly from the enforcer’s pen...

    ADMIN NOTE: New direction for the forum...

    I sincerely enjoy the back and forth banter in some of these discussions, as long as ad hominem and ignorant sparring are avoided. We don’t have to agree on everything, but we should all support our arguments, kindly agree when we’ve been corrected, and discuss topics civilly. Thanks to all who...

    Alec Baldwin case...

    That's not the country we have anymore. For the rich and famous, long gone are manners, civility (if we ever had it), admission of guilt/wrong doing. Now we are left with scorched earth politics, internet trolling and mob attacks, and civil lawsuits for any and every possible wrong.

    You must have been the guy on the T-box when my and my family were hiking on a nature path that was cut in two by a golf course who's drive missed my 7 year old by about 20 ft.

    Political Meme - Cartoon/Joke Thread...Part XXVI

    FIFY: Why did the libertarian cross the (PUBLICLY FUNDED THROUGH TAXES) road? The world will never be able to solve that paradox!

    Dark Brandon’s Policies Pt V

    At least Hillary Clinton generally worked for her constituents instead of spewing questionable speech on radio. Soros is just another billionaire that should be taxed out of his billionaire status just like the rest of the billionaires. Almost nobody becomes a billionaire in their lifetime...

    Bama Game Thread: MBB Bama at USCE 1.8.25 6pm CST SECN

    Maybe we'll get lucky and they will give you an extra redshirt year if your NIL value is too low.

    Link: Silent Night Game - Taylor University's Long Standing Tradition

    That makes me long for the time when college athletics were mostly about and for the kids at the school, and not replaced by money, boosters, TV, contracts, advertisements, etc.

    https://slate.com/technology/2014/08/musical-nostalgia-the-psychology-and-neuroscience-for-song-preference-and-the-reminiscence-bump.html All people, as we age, anchor our musical tastes to our formative early to teenage years music. But, yes, there's a lot of crap out there. AI or not.

    Trump deeds and misdeeds VII

    Uh, Department of Energy, or the Department of Education? Nope for me on both, unless you don't want Pell Grants for kids to go to college (I had several Pell Grants), a coordinated education system for the country, etc. There's easily 28 Billion sloshing around in the $850 Billion Defense...

    2nd and 26 Seven Year Anniversary

    The first down and second down plays are perfect representations of Tua's QB play over his career. He's been too likely to stretch a play out and take a sack he shouldn't take, and he's just as likely to throw a perfect dart to a receiver the next play.

    Is anyone keeping up with the Skip Bayless Joy Taylor Eman Acho circus?

    Well, okay if you're gonna go with that wide lane what-about-ism. The Fox News company has a certain aesthetic for it's women on air broadcast team, and that's clearly no accident. Obviously, there's a top down approach to hiring and that has to be pushed down to the hair dressers. So...

    We literally have the resources to feed, clothe, house, and give health care to every single human on Earth, but our current economic system rewards hoarding and manufacturing scarcity instead.

    Seahawks fire OC Ryan Grubb after one season

    I'm reminded of the FSU days where Charlie Ward was handed a complex route tree by Mark Richt and ran it to near perfection, picking up the open receivers on crossing routes to devastating effect. This made Mark Richt think he was a offensive genius, that is until Charlie left and then he...

    BREAKING Colin Hitschler has been informed he will not return to the Crimson Tide next year.

    No doubt there are plenty of smart people in the South. The core problem is too many in the South are proud of their ignorance, and it sadly shows up in the elected officials who on a daily basis demonstrate that ignorance (see Senator Tubberville for example A).

    Is anyone keeping up with the Skip Bayless Joy Taylor Eman Acho circus?

    Not surprised that more of this kind of thing is coming from the Fox system. This kind of arrogant behavior is seemingly baked into the design of their company. "...sexual harassment from former FS1 host Skip Bayless and Fox Sports executive Charlie Dixon, along with racially insensitive...

    BREAKING Colin Hitschler has been informed he will not return to the Crimson Tide next year.

    Birmingham has made the same mistake so many large cities have, and they have still not fixed their issues starting with building too many large roads/interstates to help people commute in and out of the city taking their tax dollars with them. However, Atlanta has done some the same, but they...
