re: Detroit Schools to Continue $100 Weekly Perfect Attendance Payments

This is like the Joe's Crab Shack, "Free Crab Tomorrow" sign. They can offer it because they know they will never have to pay up.

Probably as part of a plea deal.

I flew Delta to Greenville, SC having to change planes in Atlanta. There were so many "handicapped" people on the Greenville flight that the poor workers had to make multiple trips through the Jetway. Pathetic.
re: A Quick Way To Pay Down/Pay Off The $40 Trillion National Debt
Posted by bulletprooftiger on 8/20/26 at 3:57 pm to Dadren
You're right. Another $10T is held by other US financial institutions like mutual funds, pension funds, depository banks and State and Local governments. It is all the same concept. Our money, in those mutual funds, pension funds, and depository banks, is used to buy debt and collect interest from the government. State and local governments, with our tax dollars, buy the debut and collect interest from the government. Ultimately, for the most part, we are the debt holders. We our borrowing from ourselves to pay ourselves.

Do y'all know how this works?
The government issues bonds (t-bills) to print more money. Those are the debt. The Federal Reserve buys the majority of those bonds with money from its member institutions, i.e. banks. We have to keep our money in banks. Our money is used to buy the the debt.
The bond (debt) holder, The Federal Reserve, gets the interest and puts it back in the banks. We will continue to run a huge deficit and it will continue not to make a difference because we are mostly borrowing from ourselves to pay ourselves while "creating" more money in the process.
The only thing that can frick it up is a run on the banks. The system is designed to make that extremely difficult. Think about the "penalties" you pay if you take money out of your retirement accounts. But, if you wanted to do your part to make the house of cards fall down, try to withdraw all your money from a bank in cash.

Tulane v. USC, 2023 Cotton Bowl
re: How has the United States avoided another 9/11?

Well for about 20 years we gave them targets in their home countries.

Tulane coming back against USC in the Cotton Bowl was unreal.
Underrated LSU win was when the 2000 Men’s B-Ball team ran dunk lines against #1 Arizona in the PMAC.
ETA: I should have read the thread first. Guess it wasn’t underrated. It was just a kick arse game.

The race system actually failed this guy, just not the race system that will be blamed. The race system that failed was the one that did not challenge him , but instead promoted him based on what he was rather than his accomplishments. He was lead to believe that he could get away with anything, so he did.

I think we are stuck with Enzo. He's too good to take a big loss on, but not good enough where another team is going to cover his transfer fee.

Just watched the game. A lot of positives. Palestra looked lively.

That's playing basketball while also trying to make sure your weave doesn't fall out.

Read an article on this a while ago. If I recall, he wasn’t suspended. He received notice that he was under investigation. Either way, he engaged in unprofessional conduct and was subject to professional discipline.

They must be counting on Colwill being back to full strength at CB.
Where does that leave Neto? He was the most consistent wing last year.

I was hoping he’d do something positive in the final that would make him more attractive to buy. So much for that…
