Sounds good in theory.

But so far no money is coming back to the taxpayers and no arrests have been made.

Churning the butter is one thing. Getting it to market is another.

No one going to say what he did or ask? Really out here just farming clicks for a rumble channel instead of discussing the issue?

Ai needs to replace manual endeavors, not intellectual ones. Ai needs to be doing laundry and dishes so we can write and paint, not doing writing and painting so we can do laundry and dishes as some Zhoe put it. We are going the wrong way.

The only and Single loss from this is funding for free lunches.

This can be easily remedied while still collapsing the department.

Fans should be bilegirent to one another. You should legit be too fearful of your life to wear a jersey into enemy territory.

Rivalries matter and everything in the world was better when we held these lines.

Coke and Pepsi drivers should stop and have duels in the street when they see each other.

UPS and FEDEX drivers should drop oil slicks in front of one another like a James Bond chase.

Duke and UNC fans should meet at NC States centerfield and brawl until only one man stands twice a year.

Have pride. Take stands. Form unity.

Remember the goal isn't to remove these products, run anyone out of business, or erase brands.

Its to make the brands make things for the consumer. Not for profit.

You make the best mousetrap available and you get profits from it. You serve the customer and customer rewards you profit. You aren't in business for profit. You're in it to provide a good or service and you get a profit as a result.

No one should work 40 hours a week except maybe first year hires.

Then you SHOULD be earning holidays, vacation days, personal days, sick days that lower your average working hours over the year while increasing your pay.

By year 20 or 25 at any job you should be working a clean 26 hours a week and be grandfathered into having almost whatever you want off. 4 weeks of vacation a year or more. 4 weeks of sick leave. 3 weeks of personal days.

If you've been there 30 years you should be working about half the time and just showing up more as a favor than an obligation.

I dunno man. I never believed this bribe was going to come through but in Trumps first term I quit my job to go back to school for a more purposeful career.

And then the economy did what it did and I haven't paid a cent back yet.

I agree this bribe for votes was bogus. But colleges are government instutions. I am hoping he does do some kind of correcting for student loans more aligned with common sense and less from profiteering.

Measuring merit on test scores loses the plot. The second the ignorant spout that nonsense they have lost all credibility in the game. "Take this kid who listens to Thugonomics and not his parents, who thinks disrespecting teachers is passing school rather than making academic progress and it's YOUR fault he never put an ounce of work in and you would have been fired if you so much as told him to hush in class".

All that grandstanding to ultimately bow down and say "just pass the future doctors and lawyers along."

Western NC here.

6 days without power. No damage to the home. Sent the wife to the beach during the storm and outtage so she avoided it altogether. The kids were well enough as the town we live in came through okay. Grocery stores and restuerants were only down for a day or two in town but it took a while to get things back up and running out in the sticks. We're fine and I had my feet under me enough to go do volunteer work for the community. Lucky. Blessed. Still had coworkers without power up til yesterday.
