It’s really hard to get the message the writer is sending when you don’t read more than the headline of the article.

There is a vast difference between a state debt and a national debt. States, for example, don’t print their own money and that a quasi-centralized national bank doesn’t set different interest rates for different states. This is why states are usually required by law to balance their budgets — they only have the money…

Unlike Louisiana, the federal government thankfully does not have an absurd requirement to have a balanced budget every year regardless of economic conditions, and the current ~3% of GDP annual budget deficit is pretty much universally considered perfectly sustainable to everyone with moderate economic knowledge…

is YNAB worth anything? I have several years worth of data invested in mint so it would take something pretty special to get me to switch.

Because it took them 13 months to even bring charges, largely because the department was trying to bury the case, including trying to get this video sealed away from public view.

Here’s the funny thing about Cam Newton, who has so far led the Carolina Panthers to a 8-1 record: his numbers aren’t even all that spectacular.

Any QB who can go 8 - 1 with that schedule is incredible.

You’d expect a Wolfe would know better than to try to let things blow over.

listen, i feel you — and i can say in the comments that i think this is an incredibly fucking brutal assault, obviously — but a) my standard and necessary headline language is really not the problem at base here and b) particularly not when, in the hypothetical event that gawker gets sued to the ground, there will be…

I bet you also don’t have a tv and are fun at parties.

Dude, your experience does not every person’s experience make.
