Shitting on Kamala and effectively issuing her campaign an eviction notice ain't good in the eyes of the DNC apparently. lol

Deadline to qualify for the debates is tonight, I believe. Bill Deblasio, Marianne Williamson, Michael Bennett, Tim Ryan, and Tulsi Gabbard among the notables who didn't qualify.

No. Yes. No. No. Yes -- but only on Tuesdays and Friday nights after your wife leaves for a weekend of bingo with her mother. This season is Brissett's. See what he can do over a full year. Prepare like no tomorrow on QBs in the draft class. Think about trying to lure a Tom Brady, Drew Brees, or potentially Rivers away from their teams for a short run while you draft + develop a QB. None of those guys may move, but explore it as much as possible.

I very much do not and have not liked Luck pretty much since Day 1. But what the heck are fans in Indy thinking as they boo Luck leaving the field for (what I assume) is the final time? Heathens. lol

I don't feel bad for him at all. I mean, he has dealt with a lot of injuries over his career and I don't wish him any ill will or want him to suffer with any ailments related to those injuries. But he's got freedom. His had the awareness to realize the love for the game was gone. He didn't squeeze the Colts or his career for more money. He's just doing what he wants to do. Props to him for that. I hope he enjoys his life, family, and friends. And please, for the love of God... stay the fuck away from a career in broadcasting.

i love that poster. LMAO. Emperor not necessary on there, but the rest of it.... lmao too good.

Bernie isn't going to beat Warren unless there is some massive scandal for all the reasons I've talked about before. I mean, it isn't impossible. But she is just Bernie with a vagina -- which obviously makes her superior. My dislike for Bernie has nothing to do with it, especially considering I dislike Warren equally or potentially more. Lmao.

Well, just go piss on the fire why don't ya. I think Tulsi has a better chance of winning the nomination that Bernie does, so I guess that is our way out. ha. Hopefully we do get more transparency in these polls though. Sounds like the DNC is going to require a (relatively) big jump in the polls to hit the November debates.

Let's hope Tulsi can nab like Defense Secretary or even better Secretary of State

Disney+ is turning out to be something you’re gonna actually want to get. Three new shows announced . Some of these are gonna have to be fliops tho, right?? Also Jon Snow is reuniting with his dead brother (errr... cousin) Robb in The Eternals. Kit Harrington cast as Black Knight

I understand that, and I am not even saying you're wrong. Like, it's a solid tip. lol. Just when I read it (whether it was your intent or not) it came across to me in the same tone as "if you can't afford your rent just go live somewhere else" Or.. if your car is junk, save up and buy a different one. It reminded me of a conversation I had the other day. Talking to somebody about vehicles, mentioned that my car (which is solid and mechanically sound for now) is nearing 200k miles. They responded by suggesting I just save up 6k to buy a really good used car when I go to replace this one. I was just like... uh... ya, good idea. LOL. Just sometimes easier to say than do -- especially depending on where you are. It's not feasible for a lot of people to just save for better insulation or in my case a $6k car... or whatever the example may be. There are definitely a lot of ways people can cut corners though that is for certain.

Dick.

I don’t think utilities are typically the main problem in owning a home when it comes to cost. Plus telling them just to “ buy an electric blanket” or “ invest in better insulation” when their house is cold is incredibly short sighted. You’re hungry? Just go buy more food... duh you dummy ! I have more to contribute but my break is about over. Gotta go pound out that kinda livable wage

Hey Sean, I think you missed my last post in minimum wage. Scroll up like 3-4 posts, brother.

Bro... my answer to you wanting to raise the minimum wage is that I prefer Yangs UBI plan... which is a federal government program. Lol. I am on record in this thread saying I’m fine with universal healthcare. #HumanityFirst I’d rather get into more substantial discussion though if you’re up for it. Because I’m the last two pages you’ve said I’m anti healthcare (wrong) and anti government (wrong in context). If you want to federally mandate a flat and uniform minimum wage increase what are you’re responses to: 1. Thanatos’ point (in short) saying what people in Kentucky need to live is very different than what people in other parts of the country need. This is something I agree with and see all the time. I’m in Iowa.... our “livable wage” is very different than it is out in LA. 2. Why is raising the minimum wage better than UBI (universal basic income) ??

Edit: I disagree more after the clarification. Lol. What I’m saying. It doesn’t fulfill everyone. And it isn’t for everyone.But it is important to realize that if that’s the way you go (on purpose or otherwise) that you need to commit. There are too many broken families, too many fathers not involved (enough).

You're not wrong, but what teen or young adult wants to hear that? lol How do you teach that? How do you make that message resonate? How do you ensure they actually act on it?

I agree that there's a lot of hyperbole around the impact of minimum wage on small business. I would still contend that it's an overall negative for those businesses though. And it's not that they can't pay them... A lot of that hyperbole is that they will be forced to close or they're gonna leave the city. Most of them don't. They just... cut hours. Like cited up above. Those small businesses... Wages went up, overall payroll is DOWN. Most of them are saving money by hiring less people and cutting the hours of the part timers they already have. They are making it work. Still, i contend that the reaction as a small business is still negative. Just because they make it work doesn't mean it's a satisfactory solution (at least in my mind). I am FINE with states who feel like they need to go above and beyond. If in California they want to pass a $20 minimum wage because a small studio apartment can go for more than $2k a month... go for it. I am not in or near California at all. Not my business and not my place to tell them how to run their state. For the most part, anyway. I know you said you're for the freedom dividend, so there's no argument here. But 12k a year (effectively $6 an hour doing a 40 hour / week job all year) has way more benefits across the board. I actually don't know if there is a negative other than government cost -- which Yang has planned out well enough for me to jump on board. Doesn't have the negative impact on small business, people working those part time jobs COULD ACTUALLY QUIT (if they want). Give people the freedom to pursue things they actually love and enjoy rather than having to work all the damn time. We agree here more than we don't, I just had to get that out there.

I am more open to talking about having a progressive system of minimum wage... but there would have to be a lot more dialogue. Yeah, that's the problem though. People who benefit from their salaries jumping up have their hours cut. Bernie did it in his campaign, for example. Seattle is perhaps the biggest case study we have right now. Am I going to sit here and paint the entire experiment in a negative light? No. There have been some good to come out of it. But hours are down, payrolls are down. The low-end jobs that saw the rapid increase just cut hiring. What good does it to get that bump in salary if you can't even get your same hours? The people most impacted (negatively) were the part-timers who were workign a bunch of jobs to get by. They are the ones who got their hours cut, those are the positions that no longer were hiring... those are the people who come out of this as they were when they went in. They aren't ahead. They aren't better off. They can't quit their 7 jobs. Small Business Owner: Wage Hike Comes With a Cost [Older Study] Low-wage workers Out $125 a month after minimum wage hike [More Recently Updated Article w/ Study Reference] The last one, from Vox, goes more into some of the good and bad. Yeah, even looking at the data I prefer trying the freedom dividend and seeing how that would impact the job market compared to what we are seeing in Seattle.

Healthcare is cool by me, just don't let Bernie or Lizzy do it. Their plan is no plan. If, after the discussions we've had about healthcare, you think I am anti-healthcare or whatever label you want to assign me -- you're not paying much attention. Livable wage... I agree, but I assume my solution is different than yours. Just raising the minimum wage isn't the answer. I am against that. Bernie Sanders pays his staff a 15$ minimum wage... but when he started that policy he had to cut their hours. What good does that do and if you can't make it work in the small scale like that.. how the hell do we expect all these small businesses to make it work? I prefer Andrew Yang's Freedom Dividend. Very socialistic and not a policy I'd typically support. But it's a better solution to this problem than I have heard from any of the more than 20 Democrats running for President. And he actually lays out how he is going to pay for it -- which is a big plus. EDIT: Even though I don't support the 15$ minimum wage, Ron Paul always fought for giving tipped employees a bump to the minimum wage which I've always supported. Working as a server for YEARS making $4.35 an hour is ludicrous unless you're at some fancy steakhouse or upscale foodie district in LA or NY or whatever.

Even when it comes to trauma, we all have different ways of coping (or not). Every situation (person) is completely 100% unique. Stabilizing the American family is a big part of fixing that. And for those instances that we can’t prevent, we have to get better at identifying the troubling patterns and get people help. So I think we agree there.

Should we make it illegal to purchase knives? This is the logical fallacy known as appealing to the extremes.

Rape is inherently a violent act. Owning a gun isn't.

You're stigmatizing all gun owners by attacking their rights. That's the point. That sentence definitely doesn't say that all gun owners have assault weapons. That one went over your head. lol. I'm not in the business of telling people how to live their lives -- and neither should the government.
