Sharecropping isn’t inherently evil, it’s just a system that selfishly favors the landowner. Sharecropping is pretty much the American version of the European relationship between aristocrats & peasants. The landowner says “you can live on my land and pay me rent in the form of a percentage of your crops.” What’s…

Yes I think the banking industry has been evil towards working black families, with regards to credit denied, mortgages denied, and generally no help in matters of wealth accumulation. This goes back several generations, probably to the days of slavery.

Parents can give the money to their kids during their lifetime, and it’s not taxed. They can set up a trust fund for transferring wealth to children and it may not be tax-free but definitely avoids inheritance taxes. The taxes on inherited money go to cover costs of probate (among other things.)

You’ve made a good point, but it also depends on where the families live. I wouldn’t judge somebody solely on the fact that their kids went to a private school. There are lots of factors, and different kids have different needs. But yeah, most of those serving in Congress are way above the average middle class…

I think you’ve missed the point of this. Rich people always have choices, they can always afford good education for their children. It’s those other childen, mainly brown and black ones, whose options need to be taken away. That’s what rich people like Betsy Devos have a problem with.

“The fuckers in his administration” were the ones covering it up, obviously. They had all the power behind the throne, all they had to do was give Reagan his lines and tell him what say and where to stand. Don’t you think they knew all along? And so did Nancy, who stood by Reagan’s side and fed him lines during his…

Especially if he was weairing one of those goofy hats. Giuliani does look quite different now.

He probably beats Trump at golf too. Obama is just a natural athlete, like some guys are. I’ve got 2 brothers, and one is a natural athlete who can do any sport/game he picks up. The other brother - not so much.

My take is that he wants to focus on Chicago for awhile. They’ve got some real problems there. But I could be wrong.

I’m pretty sure he still changes Ivanka’s diapers though.

Was the cab driver wearing a turban? If he was, it’s definitely a terrorist act.

Don’t we all?

Yep Gee-za-la with the hard-G.

Also they say the hard-G.

Neither. It’s Gee-za-la, because that’s how the Germans pronounce it.

Everybody in Pittsburgh was hate-watching the SB, and hoping to see the Patriots LOSE! We almost got our wish, but you all know how it ended. There’s always next year, or so we like to think.

Thanks for the link to the Bloomberg article. I’ve been looking for more info on this guy.

Problem is, the stink bug doesn’t go down the drain voluntarily. You have to handle it, and maybe kill it, to get it down the drain. Well once it’s dead there’s no need to grind it up, the stink is already on your hands. My technique is to grab the bug with a paper towel or Kleenex, crunch it up in paper and throw it…

Yeah I came on here to say basically the same thing. They should can the show beucase it’s pretty much played out. But turn it into a movie releases (or TV movies) like every other year, people would definitely stay with it, and the shows would be better.

Lifelong die-hard Steelers fan here, and yep it’s easy to hate the Patriots this year. But we in Pittsburgh hate them every year. I’m not even sure if I want to watch the SB this year, but I’ll be hoping the Falcons win!
