Hawthorne called the three run homer Warren Morris hit to walk it off in Omaha.

Some have tried to say that my scenario is pretty rare, but it's estimated that there are around three million Americans with stock portfolios exceeding $2,000,000.

But there aren’t three million Americans under 30 without jobs with 2 million dollar portfolios. Your original premise is a huge outlier.

The rich have all the angles figured out. I wouldn't be concerned about that if it wasn't for the fact that the only way they can get away with it is by putting more tax burden on the middle class to make up the difference.

---

Make up what difference?

You are assuming government shortfalls are because not enough taxes are being paid. The truth is the government spends too much. Giving them more just means they are going to spend more.

How much tax did the parents pay to accumulate the 2+ million dollars?

The fact they gifted it to their son doesn’t mean they accumulated the money tax free.

In fact it would be extremely hard for both parents to give their kid 2 million plus dollars by the time he is in his late twenties. And what they gave each year would have been taxed.

I remember my grandfather bringing me outside to see the Russian Sputnik crossing the nighttime sky.

He was very concerned of what that meant and how the US was behind Russia.

This only hurts rest of the world. I am ashamed our government continues to support Ukraine.

Oil prices were ok until we had to go after Iran and then the price boomed.

Ukraine is defending themselves. Russia started the war.

Collis Temple sighs in relief …and then laughs because his properties have never seen a lawnmower.

To their credit, WBRZ goes after Temple and his rundown properties.

This smells.

I don’t see any moves that are hugely significant on this map but it looks like there are major positional battles going on on the approach to sloviansk so I would say that is significant and the outcome of those battles will be hugely significant if not outcome determinative of the entire conflict.

---

I agree, I didn’t see much that changed, but I do know Russia has been aggressive in attacking the Southern end of the fortress belt. I was wondering if something big had happened there.

Of course. Keep ripping this sport to shreds. Do whatever you can to make the most fricking TV money possible. The greed by tv and conference officials is ruining the sport! I don’t ever want to hear anything about player safety ever again - it’s literally only about the fricking money

This is the problem in a nutshell.
Everything they do is for tv.

Yes, it's called ABC and the other network execs. "He who has the gold makes the rules!"

While much of the focus is now on the players for ruining college football, people overlook the roll tv plays.

Yes, they finance a lot of these big athletic departments, but they’ve also led to the destruction of major football conferences, the elimination of traditional rivalry games, and the rise of the playoffs and more extra games.
