Glad you linked a paywall article so I can read the information and know what this thread is about.

OK: Dallas News says childcare deserts are a problem. There's the headline. The thread is about these relatively new terms that have randomly popped up and become a problem during the last decade or two.

I don't remember food deserts and childcare deserts being a thing 15 or 20 years ago. You were just considered broke.

Childcare Deserts.....

Old news: Food deserts

New shiny thing: Childcare deserts

Apparently, whenever low-income or no income folks have trouble accessing something....it is a desert.

I guess if you had a lack of funds for food or housing as a college student 10 or 20 years ago, you were just SOL.

If he's not a threat to commit new crimes

He -- allegedly -- stabbed a guy to death at a high school track meet.

Not in a back alley, not during a bar fight. At a track meet.

IMO, that makes him a 24/7 threat to commit new crimes

They ran a set. There were two bigs setting screens near the top of the key and neither managed to screen Clayton.

Just re-watched it. Yeah, they had 13 screening for the guards. But even best-case scenario if he had accomplished more with the screens, their guards are still jacking up a 3 from a few steps behind the line with 3-4 seconds left and they had very little time for an offensive rebound putback.

Granted, UF was getting after it on D

They were...but the UH guards just farted around with the ball 28 feet out and didn't seem to have much urgency to their movements.

Play before that, a big faces up, dribble drives and gets the ball knocked off his leg.

Kelvin Sampson Legacy Narrative......

Posted by Doctor B on 4/8/25 at 8:44 am

ESPN and a few other outlets praised Kelvin Sampson prior to the championship game.

They basically said his legacy is established even if he never wins a NC.

Not even getting a shot off with 17 seconds to work with doesn't help their case.

Okay

Dawn Staley basically canceled a game against BYU because someone in the crowd was accused of saying some racist statement at a BYU game a season or two ago.

No internal or outside investigation verified any of it. Nobody ever apologized to BYU.

So, yeah.....she is gonna get discussed.

The Dawn Staley Postgame....

She is down 70-44 to UCONN in a title game.

Might see either a loud blow up or a bunch of seething passive aggressive comments from her following this L.

Normally, I would agree. But with them being 1-8, they need the guy catching 2 a week and being used as a last ditch PH option in the 9th to be able to hit.

Did the kid who got killed punch your son or verbally threaten to harm him?

GTFO with this bullshite. Kid who died did nothing to warrant being stabbed to death.

I don't know exactly what you do for a living but it sure sounds like you got there the right way and I respect that.

Thanks. The short version is I was a preemie, had some vision damage and did student loans for a bachelor's. It was tough to hear a bunch of people in their 20s and early 30s complain about their crushing student loans during the Biden/Harris admin.

All respect to people who go the trade school route. I have some vision damage and I felt like 4-year bachelor's was the best path.

Pick any of the 17 federal programs they might have been talking about.... SSI, SNAP, housing assistance, oreos and ice cream purchasing assistance....

Posted by Doctor B on 4/1/25 at 11:37 am

All the folks who were dead silent about politics from 2020-24 and didn't mention Biden at all are now wailing about "their" checks being cut.

Frick you. I had to go to a low-funded, small enrollment state university and repay my student loans.

Sick of hearing these mf-ers talk about "their" money and "their" checks.
