re: Rumor: Temporary acting Supreme Leader of Iran killed; was appointed this morning

PS - I would like to state publicly that I do not want that job. If nominated, I will not run. If elected, I will not serve.
Is this the "I'm not suicidal. I want to live. If found dead I didn't kill myself." Of the day?

re: What a SCOTUS Gift: Refunding Tariff Money to Business Would Boost Economy

If putting that money back into circulation causes the economy to boom, then taking it out in the first place had to have caused a drag.
It's not that binary. Many exporters lowered their price to eat some of the tariff. That's why there wasn't massive inflation.
Let's say a product is usually sold from China for $100 and a 20% tariff is added. China lowers the price to $90 making the net after tariff $108 instead of $120. Retailer decides to increase the price $4 and eat the other $4. If you refund the $18, do you think any of that is going back to China?

another problem -- no "normal" persons respond to polls.
I know I'm not normal, but I respond every time I'm called. One reason is that I was on the other end of the call in high school in the early 90s. The other is that I want my opinion to be heard. I like telling them that a Trump veter has an unfavorable opinion of everyone that represents this state. From the governor to the US senators, they all suck.

Yes. Do you believe one person by himself should be able to set the election rules for the whole country?
The rules are already set. 1 person is speaking for 75% of citizens that want people to prove they are following the rules.

re: Trump's 1st yr in office: US born citizens gained over 800k jobs, foreign born lost 100k
Posted by CubsFanBudMan on 2/11/26 at 5:37 pm to Powerman
quote:
Is a net gain of 700K usually considered a good thing on an annual basis?
It depends. Were people that needed to have multiple jobs to afford Biden's inflation able to drop their side gig creating a "lost job"? Were part time positions converted to full time positions? How many government positions were eliminated to bring down the total jobs number?
We've been told for years that the average age of the workforce keeps getting older and people needed to work later into life. Were they able to retire finally and the position got eliminated? I would say doing away with a Walmart greeter because they didn't need to work anymore and not replacing them isn't a bad thing.
re: America borrowed $43.5 billion a week in the first four months of the fiscal year

borrowed $696 billion. That included $94 billion in January alone, and works out to an average of $43.5 billion for each of the 16 weeks of the four months since.
Fake news. Everyone knows there are 17 weeks in a 4 month period, so it's only $40.94 billion per week. /s
I'm not sure why the author calls out January when it's below the 4 month average of $174B. Doing the math, October - December would have averaged over $200B per month.
January probably had above average collections with Quarterly tax estimates due.

It's not LSU, it's the donors. If the donors don't approach the AD with checks and a plan, nothing will happen. Do the major donors have the appetite for another buyout this academic year? Are there enough basketball only donors to foot the bill?
New House Rs

That being said, you don't bitch about your country on the worldwide stage. You put your best foot forward and enjoy the Olympic spotlight. Promote your sport and hope that increases your revenue stream.

Easy way to shut these women up. Tell them you're tired of innocent girls and women being raped and killed by people in this country illegally. Why aren't you standing up for these women? Bet those videos won't get posted.
