    This one of Clapton's racist quotes. Not only horrifically racist but he put people in immediate danger with this bullshit. Sounds as if it inspired the get 'em up against the wall part of The Wall.

    “Do we have any foreigners in the audience tonight? If so, please put up your hands … So where are you? Well, wherever you all are, I think you should all just leave. Not just leave the hall, leave our country … I don’t want you here, in the room or in my country. Listen to me, man! I think we should send them all back. Stop Britain from becoming a black colony. Get the foreigners out. Get the wogs out. Get the coons out. Keep Britain white … The black wogs and coons and Arabs and f*cking Jamaicans don’t belong here, we don’t want them here. This is England, this is a white country, we don’t want any black wogs and coons living here. We need to make clear to them they are not welcome. England is for white people, man … This is Great Britain, a white country, what is happening to us, for f*ck’s sake? … Throw the wogs out! Keep Britain white!”

    I love the fact that Biden was "too old" when elected at age 77, but Trump will be totally qualified at age 78

    what was even better is Trump was interviewed recently and was asked if Biden was too old to run and he was like 'oh no, he's fine'.  Fucking asshole cunt mf.  You're both too goddamned old!  Get out of malibu lebowski!

    Amazon is hiring 250,000 employees for the holidays and beyond, making its largest ever annual investment in U.S. hourly wages, $20.50/hr avg.

    Are they doing it because Joey two scoops told them to?  Or why are you posting this here?

  3. I honestly think Jerry can't write a big enough check. If you were starting a franchise tomorrow with monopoly money and you had your pick of anyone in the league, who do you take over Micah?   Mahomet?  Kittel?   He might legit be the best player in football. 

    Kearse was being interviewed on the ticket this week and the hosts asked who the fastest guy on the team was and after thinking about it he settled on Michah. Not tp, not ceedee, not Diggs. Michah

    Alabama 34

    Texas 20

    Offense has regressed badly with the loss of Bijan + Roschon and no improvement from Ewers. Defense will keep us in it for a while, but fade due to exhaustion late after all the three-and-outs.

    This makes me feel.......relieved.  Would be very concerned if you were confident 

  5. I don't understand some of you people (I'm calling all of you 'you people').  They lost the #1 draft pick, #3 draft pick, and the #12 draft pick.  10 our of their 22 starters were drafted last year.  We got fuuuuucked on at least 3 calls that led to them winning the game.  We don't have to deal with that much egregious fuckery this year. They are worse.  We are better.

     

    We are going to win, convincingly.

    If you'd really like to talk brass tacks on deficit, this is pretty good overview from the 2022 CBO outlook report (I linked to a report on the 2018 CBO report previously)

    https://www.crfb.org/papers/analysis-cbos-may-2022-budget-and-economic-outlook

    But fundamentally, the problem is that revenues are too low. We shouldn't be forcing the government to do less and less - we need that sort of scale to be able to realize mass infrastructure projects like fixing the crumbling interstate system, or going to Mars, or even just ensuring that citizens have clean and lead-free water. 

    Yall are so fucking eager to misunderstand my point so you can continue to shitpost. It's incredible. Revenues are down EVERYWHERE - taxes are at historically LOW rates, and especially so for individuals in the highest income bracket. It just so happens that corporations have also received massive tax benefits (that also benefit their shareholders, the wealthy individuals). 

    But sure, call me names and dishonestly misunderstand the point. Keep on hitting the classics

    I don't think anyone is calling you names.  You just don't understand math.  Fundamentally, the problem is spending.  Corporate income tax revenue (and rates) to the US government by year

    https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FCTAX

    The numbers bounce all over the place and, until 2017, the taxable number had been 38%.  It dropped to 21% and there was not a corresponding linear drop in revenues.  Regardless of that, corporate tax income as a percentage of GDP was between 1.5% and just under 2% for the last 30+ years.  Our spending for 2023 is expected to be $6T+ and we have a $2T deficit. Our nominal GDP is around $24T.  The difference (if you used linear numbers which I already pointed out were incorrect) would be around $100B in additional revenue.  The deficit would still be $1.9T due to spending.

    https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/W006RC1A027NBEA  Also, this chart looks like revenues are up.  Play around on the St Louis Fed site.  Might give you some actual numbers to educate your worldview.

    Why?  COVID is a respiratory illness that causes significant illness and a large number of deaths, with a huge negative economic impact.  And I'm just talking about it functioning as an endemic viral respiratory illness (which is what it is now), like the flu.  Setting aside the serious illnesses and deaths, the est. annual economic impact of the flu is over $90 billion.  And 5 years ago or so (under the previous administration), Congress approved a $1 billion package for developing a universal flu vaccine.  

    COVID is similar to the flu now, and will be for the foreseeable future.  That is, in ADDITION to dealing with the flu and its toll, we'll be dealing with the same from COVID.  Not the same as in the peak of the pandemic, but plenty of impact.

    Spending public dollars on public health is kinda one of the key functions of a functioning government.  I say that without drilling down on a page-by-page detail of this package.  Maybe there are elements that are arguable one way or the other, but generally speaking, governments spend money on vaccines and treatment options for diseases that have serious impacts on lives and the economy.

    Why? We have multiple vaccines and treatments for Covid that are easily modifiable.  And they are vaccines made by egregiously(?) profitable companies. This capital is misallocated.

    Not sure where to ask this but figured this thread is my best shot:

    My mom has mineral rights for a property in North Texas and the local power company wants to put a solar farm on it and a landman has reached out to my Mom and offered like $1.5K to sign off on some paperwork. Then a couple of days later she gets a random solicitation from some type of O&G company offering her a similar amount for her interest.

    What's going on here and how should she respond? I assumed her mineral rights didn't apply to solar but maybe I'm wrong? Is there an opp here to get residuals from the solar plant? What should I do?

    echo the above.  Talk to a local mineral rights/easement attorney.  For reference, we have a family ranch around San Saba and were offered $5k for an easement.  Found money, right?  Hired an attorney and got a check for $75k after his cut.

    I think Fitch explained their reasoning pretty well.  Fiscal deterioration, check, down to the wire clown shows on debt ceiling, check, 20 years of deterioration in governance.

     

    It points to a bleak trend for the US as ultimately it means money is more expensive to borrow as risk is higher.

     

    I can’t believe the first  cut was 12 years ago.  Time flies when you’re having fun.
