It's not blind. You can hover over it or hold press on it and the address will either pop-up box or show in your border or somewhere. It's not difficult to know address before clicking on it.

re: Would you be in favor of this wealth tax?

Posted by Victor R Franko on 12/9/25 at 7:16 am to Lsujacket66

First you say,
1...give kids an incentive to appreciate capitalism
2...understand the miracle of compound investing
3...stem the tide on the youth believing in socialism

Then you say,
1...wealth tax for those worth over a billion
2...If we gave that 1% tax
3...this a direct transfer of wealth

So what is it man? Capitalism or Socialism?
Is you is, or is you ain't?

I'd take the bowl game. Play those that are expected to be contributing next year, let those that have exhausted eligibility take off if they want, start the process out of the dead wood.

As a fan, sure I want to see another game.

re: Conference championships need to go

Posted by Victor R Franko on 12/7/25 at 8:53 am to ClemsonKitten

yup, They're going to have to delete CCGs and play 9 or 10 conference games. ND has to join a P4 conference or GTFO.

Oh, and each P4 conference needs to submit their conference seedings based on their tiebreaker rules to the selection committee. Selection committee will use this in decision making.

re: Texas and Oklahoma, any regrets?

Posted by Victor R Franko on 12/7/25 at 8:44 am to Decker

Absolutely no regrets. For all sports, men and women, we'll probably be in the top two or three, all combined forever. Winning the Learfield Directors' Cup first year in SEC is supporting evidence. Most of the SEC however only cares about a few sports.

-Football, we'll be competitive, Sark needs to keep up the improvements and get over Georgia. Seems many teams also need to get over Georgia.

-Basketball (men) I don't care much since Chris Beard and his wench went all WWF in the street.

- Really LOVE the move to SEC for baseball ! Yup Baseball makes it all worth it.

re: A brief insight on copper prices & implications

Posted by Victor R Franko on 12/6/25 at 3:23 pm to conservativewifeymom

Old timer here. All my life, when copper prices were rising, an economic boom time followed.
Another tell is the manufacturing of shipping containers. Not sure how accurate this one may currently be with newly placed tariffs, but I'm guessing it'll still hold true.
