I do. I also understand the difference between journalists and propagandists.

That didn't take long.

I'm not strongly opposed to that, but we have voting power over government agencies that we don't have over private organizations, so that's what I'd prefer.

Ok It has literally nothing to do with the discussion. That puts a MUCH greater burden on the poor. You could make that argument, but it's not at all what I'm arguing.

I'm not saying how a person should feel. I'm saying that's how a functioning society should view things. Putting the onus on the poor and middle class is a terrible idea since they cannot support anywhere near the financial burden the rich can. If the rich want to put the onus and the rest of society (and we have every indication throughout history that they do), then the society functions more poorly and is more unstable, which eventually leads to that system collapsing in one way or another. That's a terrible analogy.

You're assuming that the government spends money less wisely than an independent organization. I'd need to see data showing that to be true because everything I've read that's actual research into effectiveness of non-profits vs governments shows the government is more effective per dollar on average.

This logic is backwards to me. We would pass legislation because they have an additional responsibility.

I'm not mad they make a lot of money. But I think in a functioning society, they have additional responsibility due to their good fortune.

Seems way worse to ask the people least able to pay to do it as opposed to those with the most ability to pay. And for many of the rich, more money than they could ever possibly spend.

The alternative is for the middle class and poor to pay more.

How it started: How it's going:

Jim Harbaugh cheated and attacked the integrity of college football as a sport. And then ran off to the NFL. I don't get why more fans don't hate him.

The readers added context really upends the implications you're trying to make.

Here's the article if anyone wants to read it and understand why these tweets are missing the point: https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/drop-climate-related-disaster-deaths-not-evidence-against-climate-emergency-2023-09-19/

Having a functioning society is about not always getting the good deal. Sometimes we can let others get the good deal instead of ourselves.

I have us at 8-4. Although I thought we'd only win 2 games this last season, so what do I know.

Do you have a recipe/process that you like?

As something of an expert on beating topics to death on this board, I do have moments of being reasonable.

I've gotten into woodworking and have started to become a snob on where I buy wood and the quality of the cutting surface that cut/form the wood including the blades and the sandpaper.

TL;DR Who gives a s#!t? They're gone. How do any of the past QB's that aren't on the team anymore have anything to do with the hiring of Glenn Thomas? Whatever happened and whoever we should or shouldn't have kept at QB doesn't matter for how the Glenn Thomas hire shakes out. Let's focus on who we have available at QB.

Maybe move the stock bets to another thread? You'll probably get more views/comments outside the P&R forum.

That is an OLD truck

Remember there were years of violent talk before the violence began in earnest. And we're seeing a lot of the same from MAGA.

I've already explained this to you several times. By all means, produce the survey questions and how they're combined into the ranking to prove me wrong. No, it's actually not. That's the entire point. Common sense and experience
