Because if NIL, the NCAA is going to increase its presence on these teams. The projected top pick in next year’s draft is at Penn State, and the Flyers #1 pick is at MSU. Allows them to develop against adults instead of younger kids in juniors.
This is a clickbait article. It plays to the fears of AI, the same could have been said about PC’s in the 1980’s.
It also doesn’t take into account the change in investment profiles for older Americans over the years. In the 1980’s and earlier, their wealth was primarily from savings and pensions. 401ks didn’t exist until 1978, and most people weren’t in the stock market (Vanguard was founded in 1975). The gains from investing in the stock market would obviously outpace a retiree’s wealth in the 1980’s.
On top of this, retirees in the 1980’s not only had Medicare, many also had secondary insurance as part of their retirement package. From a healthcare coverage perspective , those folks had it much better.
The problem has been mismanagement and cowardice from Congress. George Bush provided a solution in the early 2000’s, Congress didn’t have the balls to implement it.

It amazes me that JJ Abrams and Alex Kurtzman could have created a series like Fringe after seeing their most recent efforts.

Literally the story line on the most recent The Pitt episode.
Loved it when Paul came into the break room singing the Raiders of the Lost Ark theme.

Saw his interview with Diane Sawyer last year. Didn’t realize the disease was progressing so quickly. RIP.

But Bondi was AG of Florida when Epstein got his sweet plea deal... what about that one?
Ummm that was a federal case, not to mention Bondi was an assistant state attorney in Hillsborough County, Florida in 2007.
Please try harder.

So I know I am the OP and Clueless, but I’m thinking you should download a free app like Coin pcgs.
This is a good start. I inherited a handful of coins, and was able to look them up. Got a quote from a coin dealer and sold most, but kept two based on my research. Sent them to PCGS because I thought the value for the two was ~$2k and wanted them slabbed. Turns out it was closer to $7k after they graded them.

Lutnick didn’t break any laws, but he was foolish about how he handled questions on Epstein. In past interviews he went out of his way to boast he didn’t really know Epstein, and thought he was strange. I’m a Lutnick fan, but it is a bad look. He should have had a much more measured response considering their history. Guess he couldn’t help himself.

i suppose theres a lot more ways to make money off of the music than back then. beatles catalog is valued at like 1.5 billion. "Sony acquired full control of the publishing rights in 2016 by purchasing the Michael Jackson estate's 50% stake for $750 million."
The Beatles catalog ownership is a bit more complicated. Sony owns ex-US rights. As the copyrights expire in the US, McCartney and the Lennon estate have been acquiring the US rights.
The reason MJ got the Beatles rights in the first place was because he stabbed McCartney in the back. He had a conversation with McCartney where McCartney told him to get into music publishing. MJ said he was going to buy the Beatles rights. McCartney thought he was kidding. Next thing you know, he outbid McCartney for the Beatles catalog.

Stopped using them. Get the ONN streaming device from Walmart. It’s GoogleTV based and is much better.

Not at all! It’s a great list for folks.
Regarding financial POAs, don’t assume the bank will accept one drafted by an attorney. Check directly with the bank to see if they require their own version of a POA.
You also need to consider the demographics of the people watching the TPUSA alternative. The purchasing power was significant at the party I was at.
re: SpaceX to shift focus from mars to building a “city” on the Moon
Posted by Free888 on 2/8/26 at 9:52 pm to UltimaParadox
Depends where the server is, especially on the moon. If protected within a crater, it’s quite possible to cool it, while having solar arrays nearby to power the servers. Spacecraft routinely rotate to provide cooling, so it’s probable they can come up with an engineering solution. A lot of the naysayers sound like the European Space Agency in 2013 claiming reusable rockets were impossible.
