If Ham No had his way, the organizing principle would be: (1) unions for all with significantly increased pay; (2) free or heavily subsidized housing; (3) free or heavily subsidized healthcare; (4) free or heavily subsidized college; (4) lavish retirement benefits; and (6) this will all be provided to you for free and…

“Perez was not allowed to return to his family at the end of this sentence. Instead, he was detained by ICE, and has been in an immigration jail since September 2016.”

I assume based on the arguments you have made that you would be equally okay with every General Electric employee getting a pay cut. After all, the CEO lost his job and the stock price has plummeted. Or, do the employees only share in the gains with none of the risk of the losses?

Reading between the lines, the correct answer is confiscate everything and give every one an equal amount. That’s the only “fair” thing to do.

From what I read on this site, particularly the Ham No articles, the correct answer is “all of it.”

Sure, cities like Chicago and Detroit and states like California have woefully underfunded/unfunded public pensions because of Republicans.

It helps when you change the definition of “deporting.”

I am really confused by the County Attorney’s statement. Why would he have to prove the officer feared for his life and used force because he thought he was going to be killed? That’s a defense to being charged with the crime, not the actual criminal act that can be prosecuted by the County Attorney.

There is no financial benefit to being an owner of the Packers. What you get is (1) a stock certificate with your name on it (2) an invite to the yearly meeting and a vote for who is on the Executive Committee that runs the team and (3) access to the “owner’s only” merchandise sold by the Packers Pro Shop.

Look, you may think Trump is an idiot (and I’m not saying he isn’t) but you are going to be sorely disappointed.

One difference would be that people would have to continue to make the payment ever year whereas with the Packers’ structure it is a one time payment. A yearly payment, even if small, may run into a problem if the team is bad and people just decide they don’t want to or can’t pay for it. The Packers aren’t reliant…

The NFL is going to undo nearly 40 years of rules in order to allow this, for anyone. It just creates too many problems. Heck, just look at the Tennessee Titans and that is just inter-family issues. Currently, the maximum number of owners a team can have is 32 with at least one of them owing at least 30% of the team.…

Nope, not it. Well, at least not in this case.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

The legislation, which passed the House and Senate on Thursday, also contained what’s called a “pay-go waiver,” a brief paragraph that suspends the rules governing how Congress has to pay for certain programs. Without the waiver, Trump would have had to wait until the New Year to sign the bill.

Not to mention having played 5 goalies in the first two months of the season.

Actually, if you click through to the article, it says it may increase premiums by 10% over the next decade. So, basically, it is going to cost 1% in premiums per year. Part of which will be offset by your subsidy since that it tied to the cost of insurance. If that causes the system to collapse, it was done for…

And by 2027, how much will someone making $40,000 to $50,000 a year have saved due to the cut in taxes for that 10 year period? Funny how that part always gets left out. And, of course, it assumes that Congress doesn’t extend those tax cuts. And the 13 million who are going to “lose” health care, you aren’t really…

Oldest story in the book. To wit:

How exactly would “the bank could simply decline the transaction if there’s not enough money in the account” work in reality? Let’s say, using your example, you bought $3 coffee in the morning and a $29 dinner that night and you only had $25 in the bank that day. What does the restaurant that just served you a $29…
