1997 Jerold Mackenzie awarded $26.6M (later reduced to $625,000) for being fired from Miller Brewing for sexual harassment for relaying a Seinfeld episode to a co worker. The episode where Jerry couldn't remember his girlfriends name, but thought it rhymed with a female body part.

Tuition free college for working class families. Whose going to pay for this ? Ride share protection for Uber & Lyft drivers. Whose going to pay for this ? The legalization of fentanyl testing strips Didn't even know what these were ? Fentanyl test strips are small strips of paper that were originally created to detect fentanyl in urine. But you can also use them to see whether a drug contains fentanyl in just a few minutes. Each strip costs about a dollar. But you might be able to get strips for free from your local health department, a needle exchange program, or other community-based organization. I assume this ahole wants to legalize them so the state can purchase & distribute them free of charge. Exhibit A: Newark, Ohio, resident Rodney Olinger has used methamphetamines for 8 years. The 45-year-old gets 4 to 5 fentanyl test strips weekly from the Newark Homeless Outreach, and calls them a “blessing.” He credits the strips with helping ensure he & his fiancée, who also uses, stay alive. Here's a guy who's been on meth for 8 years, & a fiancé who also uses. These 2 must be upstanding contributing members of the local community. That community would be far better off if they were dead. Whose going to pay for this ? Build a Minneapolis that working people can afford to call home. Whose going to pay for this ? Protect our city from a hostile White House. Just focking priceless Diversify our city’s public safety response Increase the minimum wage to $20.00 Pass rent stabilization laws Whose going to pay for this x 3 Incentivize new construction. Translation: Even more low income/affordable housing Whose going to pay for this ? Protecting all of our communities from Donald Trump means not letting MPD interact with ICE whether it's for an immigration raid or not Fock you Our residents deserve a mayor who will stand up to Donald Trump & say “no, not in our community” What exactly is your community ? Junkies, who want rent controls, free fentanyl testing strips, & God only knows what else ? Did you know that the cities own data showed that 47% of calls to MPD can be diverted to non-police response ? Cops aren't social workers. What does this filthy mongrel think will happen the 1st time a 'community ambassador' responds to a ‘situation’ & gets focked up but good, or maybe even killed ? That's right, a huge lawsuit against the city. And here it is, the one word Minnesota taxpayers have come to fear/despise. ‘Investments’ in programs like these, ensure that the appropriate response arrives when we call 911, and we can actually free up police resources to focus on violent crime, that detracts from community safety. Priceless

Jayne Kennedy back in the 70s https://www.imagebam.com/view/ME13NTVT For those too young to remember her. Jayne Kennedy (born Jane Harrison on October 27, 1951 in Washington, D.C.) is an American actress, model and sportscaster. Jayne was crowned Miss Ohio USA 1970 (she was the first African American woman to win the title), and was one of the 10 semi-finalists in the 1970 Miss USA pageant. It was rare for an African American woman at that time to be in the contest. While starting her modeling career, she met Leon Isaac Kennedy, who was a DJ and a struggling actor/writer. They fell in love and married in 1970. Motown's Smokey Robinson served as best man at the wedding. They moved to California to pursue careers in acting. During the 1970s, she had over 10 notable TV guest appearances, and roles in seven movies. In 1978, she was one of the first women to infiltrate the male-dominated world of sports announcing with a role on The NFL Today.

Ain't that the truth!

Agree, & I'll also continue to refer to them as the Redskins. Regarding the old team logo. The Redskins primary logo was first designed in 1971 in close consultation with Native American leaders. Among those who unanimously approved & voiced praise for the logo was Walter “Blackie” Wetzel, a former President of the National Congress of American Indians & Chairman of the Blackfeet Nation. Years earlier, Mr. Wetzel had been deeply involved with U.S. President John F. Kennedy in the movement for civil liberties, civil rights, & economic freedom for all. In 2014, Mr. Wetzel’s son Don commented, “It needs to be said that an Indian from the State of Montana created the Redskins logo, & did it the right way. It represents the Red Nation, & it’s something to be proud of.”

I have to reset the odometer every time I leave. No idea why? If I got back home & the miles were going to end up on something like 16.6 I'd intentionally put on an extra 10th of a mile to make sure it didn't. Superstitious. Also have to double check that the refrigerator doors are closed & all the burners on the stove are off at least once b4 going to bed.

Yard work for about 2.5 hours, then happy hour with friends & family. Locally made smoked summer sausage, cheese, crackers, etc.

You're right, it was 20 K & I really didn't have a problem with them lowering it, but to bring it all the way down to $600 C'mon man, I'm sure most garage sales take in more than that! What next, will IRS agents be roaming the streets during garage sale time in the spring forcing people to report their sales. There's no doubt in my mind, the CPA lobby was responsible for pressuring the IRS to implement these new limits. I got into a debate with some guy at another forum a year or 2 ago. He was totally in favor, but he wasn't satisfied with the $600 figure. He thought that every sale should have to be reported to the IRS. I gave him a hypothetical situation. Let's say you were into high-end audio back in the early 80s & bought a top of the line Bang and Olufsen system for 3K in 1985 30 years later, in 2015, you had a garage sale and someone offered you 5K for the system & you accepted. Would you report that 2k in gains to the IRS ? He said he would, and I simply said I didn't believe it. Shortly after, they kicked me out of the forum.

Understood

That's great, but it would also explain this. https://thehill.com/opinion/congress-blog/3993213-the-imploding-us-postal-service-bailout/

Congrats on flipping those items for a nice profit. Regarding the 1099, I think that changes next year. The IRS implemented a phased approach to the $600 reporting threshold for online marketplaces like eBay . The thresholds are: 2024: $5,000 in gross payments. 2025: $2,500 in gross payments. 2026 and after: $600 in gross payments. This means that starting in 2026, if you receive $600 or more in payments through eBay, the platform will be required to issue a Form 1099-K to you and the IRS. Note that this reporting threshold was initially set at $600 by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, but the IRS delayed its implementation to allow for a smoother transition.

The irony is that he was probably right when he said those that came to the day games were mostly scumbags. Back then it was affordable for a loser with no job to go to a game, today, not so much.

Love this! Before watching the video, I considered countering with a press conference rant from Jerry Burns, Minnesota Vikings coach from the mid to late 80s. But this is on a whole different stratosphere!
