Why does it have to be college?  Not everyone wants a degree.  If they expand it to cover trade schools as well, I could get behind it more.  It’s easy to outsource design and sales, try getting someone to teleconference in a weld on your building.

I majored in Criminal Justice with the intent to go into law.  Uncle Sam said I’d be better at fixing tanks, and lo and behold I was.  I’ve spent the past 20+ years in transportation manufacturing, using more of the project management and people skills I learned in the Army then my degree.  It’s been good for getting…

Who are the teachers spending $0 that pulls this average down? My wife has been in education for 20ish years and we have never written off less than $2000 even when we first started out on a first year’s teacher and a junior officer salary.

Not enough stars in the sky for this.  My wife has been in education for 20ish years and she’s of a similar mind.

The same as the ratio of Shrute-bucks to Stanley-nickles.

There have been three Star Wars movies released since the Browns last won a game. 

“And the waves crashed over the bow,

I’m sure this coaching staff will burn with the same intensity the staffs at Penn State, Baylor, and Michigan State burned when they endangered athletes/ students/ children.

The Chinese have already shown the ability to destroy satellites in orbit from ground based launchers. If it comes to a shooting war, precision guided munitions aren’t going to work without GPS. Drones will be a lot harder to fly without the satellite bounce. Commanders stateside won’t be able to get updates from the…

Why not shop dealerships?  Go to your local and tell them you’ll split the $1000 with them.  If I’m faced with a choice of $500 or $0, I’ll take the $500.  If the local doesn’t want to play, move on to the next one until you get a taker.

My response was something to the effect of, “Great Quarterbacks are not named ‘Jimmy’”...

The best advice I ever got about small talk was to think of it like tennis. When someone else makes a statement (serve), its up to you to respond and ask a question back (volley).  This will keep it going to keep both parties interested.  Don’t just tell a story, end it with “did you ever have something like that…

You do realize the free press started with pamphlets like “common Sense” that were printed in somebody’s basement and handed out to anyone who would take a copy?  I don’t care for Reddit, but it seems like the internet-age version of that.

Sorry if it came across as a “both sides” shot, that wasn’t my intent.  While CNN created the 24 hour news cycle, Fox weaponized it.  While I don’t agree with the echo chamber created by the various networks, Fox is by far the most echo-ey (?) of the lot.

Part of the problem if the echo chamber. Twenty years ago, we all sat down at 7PM local and watched one of three news broadcasts that differed in style, but not really substance. There was a common language for what was happening in the world. When CNN kicked off 24 hour news, things changed as it allowed for deeper…

I’d have to go with the music 2 kings of their respective professions walked out to:

Started under Turmp? This has been going on for decades. Bush and Obama let bankers weasel out of paying for the financial crisis they created, Clinton signed NAFTA which helped push labor unions down and allowed for generous profits to move product to wherever it could be produced cheapest. Look at the local tax…

Those folks severely underestimated how frustrated Michiganders across the spectrum are right now.

I’m kind of in that boat. I’m largely conservative with some liberal views on some issues and could largely care less what people want to do in the privacy of their own home (how they raise their kids and with whom). The Republicans sold their soul with Trump, and I can’t get behind Democrats nanny-state/ socialism.…

Salary is dependent on you doing your job. If someone who can do your job better than you comes along or you fail to do your job, your employer doesn’t have to pay you your full year’s wages if they fire you. That’s what a sports guaranteed contract is; regardless of the players output or position with the team, the…
