He also did a great job of playing anther top-notch character in Homicide: Life On The Street. But whatever network that was on kept changing the day it showed, then semi-canceled it for a while, then brought it back, then canceled it for good because there weren't enough people watching it. So, we lost an excellent show with good stories and good characters.

Plus, every law puts a burden of proof on every person and entity that they're complying. So, some company can have a hard time justifying some people getting paid more than others when some people simply outperform others because they then have to show that the lower performers were given equal opportunities.

You'd think that the top performing salesman (or saleswoman) could legally earn more because of better results, but some will complain that he serves the more profitable customers, or the company will have to prove that there's no activity that only benefits that top person (like membership in a certain club where business is conducted). There ends up being a burden of proof that you're complying, not on the person who accuses discrimination. I put "you'd think" at the beginning of this paragraph because bad logic or data seems to be accepted. The "women earn X% of men's pay" is based on all jobs across all levels of experience, which doesn't make any sense.

Some people borrow A LOT of money to get a college degree and maybe a graduate degree from their dream college without any thought to being able to pay off the loans. Some people HAVE to,live in San Francisco or New York, and love the lifestyle but never cease to complain about the cost.

But, OK, tax me more to pay teachers more. I get four weeks of vacation, and teachers get the whole summer plus a couple weeks at Christmas. How will you tax them their time off to transfer some of that to me?

also, with people getting on the various bandwagons for sea salt, Himalayan salt, etc., people are starting to get iodine deficiencies, which iodized table salt was designed to correct. But there's no iodine in these designer salts, or in the salt that is added to snacks like chips.

That saying came from one of Bill Clinton's "apologies" for one of the various times getting caught in illegal activities...I think the time he fired the White House travel staff and installed his Arkansas friends in doing those functions. He didn't even admit to making mistakes, as in "I made mistakes" or "we made mistakes;" It was all passive, like it was uncontrollable as the weather or something.

Girls are now past pumpkin spice (and Ugg boots) and are currently into licking buttholes and bitching about enormous student loans they took out willingly to major in something with little monetary return.

And avocados, for some reason. 2019 will probably be the last year for that, it appears.

It's a good thing he gave himself an out, that is, allowing himself till age 105 rather than only waiting until racism was handed. The United States still has so much racism in it, like scholarships available only for people of a certain race, or other people losing their jobs and or reputations for something like quoting song lyrics accurately, or having appeared in the costume with painted face that wasn't important decades ago but now suddenly it's decided that it's an insult.

The meme isn't saying the parents should be put in jail for pet abuse or that the child should be monitored for sociopathic tendencies. It says that you shouldn't let your kid roughhouse too much with a dog. Stop adding more baggage to that, and take the good advice for what it is.

1. In Indiana, 12 year olds play on regulation height baskets. Even 10 year olds do. That basket looks to be 8' and not the regulation 10'.

2. I hope he learns the fundamentals. There's a powerful inclination to just stand there and let your 20" greater reach let the balls come to you. I see many middle school phenoms that can't do anything in high school because suddenly their physical gifts aren't enough by themselves, or even are negated when others catch up to early height or strength advantages.

The smart students would transfer to another epsection of that course, where the grades are awarded on merit rather than via group.

A better example would be where everyone worked at a coop for however many hours they wanted, but all money was divided equally regardless of hours worked or types of jobs done ( stock shelves, plan in network, clean bathrooms). All the students would need to shop there as well.

I'm in the generation that worked for 25 years at a company that promised a pension, then went bankrupt and discharged that obligation through a court order, and exited bankruptcy as a perfectly healthy company (once they didn't have to pay benefits and others debts owed).

Rather than point out that it's certainly possible for any of you to learn the new technologies and profit from that, I'll just mention something else. There's a lot of life that's driven by right place/right time. If you happen to retire at the beginning of the stock market Boom, you probably got 30 years in and ended with more money than you started with despite not having to cut back on expenses. Other people died a few years before some drug or technology was developed that would have allowed them to live a long and satisfying life. There's a certain amount of randomness, and I guess I shouldn't bitch that you've noticed one aspect of yours.

I might be wrong, but this is how I see it 18 comments

I have a professional job, and like most people I know, respect everyone I meet until given a reason not to. When working on a product or process design, I always seek out the opinions of the people who will implement it, be they assembly line workers or mail room people, or machinists or whatever. They can sometimes point out the non-obvious weaknesses. I also don't think someone needs to have a college degree or live in a certain area to have a worthwhile point of view.

But, it's very common to have to "swim upstream" against the idea that because I have a degree, have a professional job, and don't speak like an idiot that I must be looking down on people who feel inferior. There's a prejudice that gets put on me that I actually don't have. So, who's prejudging someone in actuality?

Economics 101 10 comments

Most of you are too young to recall the special wealth tax that got added in 1990 or '91. A lot of working class people were thrilled...until they didn't have jobs at Cadillac, boat companies, resorts, and many other luxury type things that "the rich" decided to go without. The top 50% of US taxpayers pay 98% of federal income taxes, so nearly half of us are getting a free ride.

But what if "the rich" are compelled to give less money to the government...what happens? If they spend it, it goes to provide jobs for people who make the items or provide the service. If they save it, it goes into a bank that lends it to people who want a mortgage to buy a home. If they invest it, it goes to companies to propel the economy forward.

Every tax has unintended consequences. Whenever I'm reading about an investment that doesn't seem to make sense, looking below the surface reveals a tax incentive to do that thing. So, it might not profit, but the after tax benefits drive it.

I graduated high school in 1978, and. My 40th reunion was last year. There are some references in "That 70s Show" that make it seem like it's set in 1977 (went to see Star Wars at the theater). So, it's been as long since the show started as it was from the time the show was set until the show started.

His comments are in response to all those people who used "hottest day in 20 years" and "hottest summer on record" as proof *of* climate change. His counterpoint, however simplistic, is equal to,some of the junk pushed by climate change promoters.

The US and other developed countries have reduced emissions of greenhouse gases, but any further improvement can't counteract all the impact from China and India. So before we wreck the developed world's economies over a few percent, the massive influence of the few mega polluters needs to be addressed.

Did you take out those loans willingly, or were you somehow coerced? Did you take care to keep,your costs low so as to minimize your necessary loans, or didmyoumgo,for the ultimate college experience and deny yourself no fun or pleasure during your time there? Did you study something that can act as a launching point for a good career that allows you to,pay back those loans, or did you just study something you enjoyed and presume everything would work out?

Luckily, humans don't share that trait, which is why socialism can work. We're all so altruistic that we don't mind working at more demanding jobs, or ones that require difficult and specialized training, for the same pay as easy ones because everyone will have his/her/its/their needs met. Well, what the State defines as "needs" at least.
