Ditto. Those were awesome.

-1; not enough “Halloween” references, no pulled-out-of-your-ass ‘theory’.

Username-comment synergy: 100/100

I think you might need Tommy Jean(-Paul Sartre) surgery.

It also helps broaden the definition of ‘work’. There are many kinds of work that are valuable and important, but not paid: childcare, elderly care, volunteering, but also arts, invention, entrepreneurship. Not everything worthwhile necessarily commands a salary (Olympic athletes have to work at Home Depot, for…

Here’s my question: both me and the missus used the app; do we both get a settlement?

Yeah. That all makes sense from a legal perspective, but this seems like a shortsighted move by the team. I guess I don’t know how slowly the Brazilian legal system works, but at some point in the (near) future this guy will be back in prison.

Not working in Safari either.

I went to a big-time college hockey school. They had a hockey band that played during long stoppages that wasn’t very loud, but everything else was crowd noise. I can’t recommend it enough.

You mean, an updated version of him:

To be fair, the chances Trump has also said “Is she a great big fat person?” are 100%.

No, no one available is as good as Garnett. But the 2017 Celtics are so much better than the 2007 version. They don’t need a massive influx of talent, just some improvements. Swapping some combination of Horford, Crowder, Bradley, Smart and picks for Cousins and Butler or George gives them a significant upgrade. They…

The tie doesn’t help.

Did Danny Ainge forget about 2008? Should someone be checking him for a head injury or dementia? He somehow turned the third pick in a two-pick draft and a bunch of crap into Garnett and Allen, and they won the title. Why would he now think Sam Hinkie had all the answers?

That’s not how the tax code works, specifically to prevent that situation. The only income that’s taxed at 90% is what’s above $435,000. Everything below that is taxed at lower rates.

Oh, I’m not saying that was the reason, just that high taxes didn’t prevent it. But the idea that the post-war boom was because other countries’ economies were down doesn’t work either. International economics aren’t zero-sum, and a stronger global economy helps all countries (particularly the US in the 50s, which…

A good, solid, state-funded institution like the University of Kentucky.

Automation is already hitting lawyers.

The ‘teach a man to fish’ thing doesn’t really work in a complex economy. To use your example, do the students get paid while attending the school? While room and board are nice, they probably have other debts and obligations they have to deal with. Where does that money come from? Can families live in the dorms and…

The top tax rate in the US was about 90% in the 50s, and the only people who thought that was some kind of radical infringement upon personal liberty were, well, the ones who went on to dominate the Republican Party. But those Ayn Rand-fluffers couldn’t stop the immense economic growth at the same time. The idea that…
