Sorry, but isn't this a state-level issue? How is this Trump's fault that Cuomo wasn't prepared for this? The expectation that the Fed is responsible is ridiculous. ...
Any Audubon Eagles on here? Started 1st grade in '91, went all the way through 5th grade. Always thought I'd go to that middle school next door (can't think of the name), but my parents made me go to Episcopal. That was a great school. LIKE EAGLES...LIKE EAGLES, Y'ALLLLLL......
It's not made public and apparently applications are vetted pretty intensely. Currently preparing to apply; if anyone here has used it, how much is the discount? Is the tactical gear worth a damn? [link=(https://www.patagonia.com/pro/category/armed-forces-law-enforcement.html)]Patagonia Pr...
I understand being unable to save while in college and the first 2-3 years after you enter the workforce; I was there once myself. But the majority of the nation is not 18-25; I feel like there are adults with families who have no safety net, and frankly will never have the means or intent to s...
The guest (female economist, can't remember her name) used to work for the Obama administration, so I already expected to hear some left-of-center viewpoints, but she was arguing that tax cuts preferred by Trump are not the way to go because they fail to benefit those who have lost their jobs or did...

No - it means they are curing any unnecessary travel which could allow personnel to catch the virus and then bring it back to a base. It's a measure to contain the virus where it is. ...

Good gesture, but not sure I agree with his "these people are still devastated from Katrina" sentiment. ...
Just returned to the States after living abroad for a few years and got a new phone number; these guys have been calling me incessantly. They say they are from the Social Security Administration and that they need to verify suspicious activity on my account before asking for my SSN. I probably get...
We're set on St. John; it looks like it offers the best balance of ease of access while not being over-touristy. I'm starting to plan lodging and activities, etc.: It's only my wife and I for probably 5 nights in mid-May. 1. What's the best side of the island to stay on? 2. We are fine...

Long time lurker, first time caller. Wife and I are looking for an atypical Caribbean destination this Spring (Late May actually) but are overwhelmed with the amount of islands and the unknowns about crime, etc. We are both 28, no kids; we lived in Europe for 4 years before moving back to ...
