I learned I will still have to work if the government shuts down, but will probably still get paid.

Had to wait for the pet store to open to get a new one.

Diversity is our strength.

How did the government shut down thread turn into another race thread?

DoD that's all I'll say

FYI there is no talk about us shutting down in the office

Dude bumps months-old threads. Like most liberals he's deranged.

https://www.cnbc.com/2023/09/20/gm-slams-uaw-rhetoric-on-day-six-of-strike.html DETROIT – As the United Auto Workers union enters day six of targeted strikes against the Detroit automakers, General Motors President Mark Reuss is criticizing union leadership for its rhetoric and “flow of misinformation” during the ongoing contract negotiations. Reuss, in an editorial, focused on the union’s public bashing of the company and elements of GM’s “record” contract proposal last week that included 20% pay raises and improved time off, bonuses and other benefits over the four-year term of the deal.

Planned inflation.

I agree. If I go Crypto heavy I'm still getting 15% back in NewCo Stock. We are coming up on the bitcoin halving and that is usually when crypto takes off and pulls mining stocks along with it. I did an analysis of 5 BTC mining stocks: Marathon, Core Scientific, Stronghold, Hut8, and HIVE. Marathon has performed the best out of all of them. They have been around the longest as well. Core Scientific and Stronghold went public at the same time in the BTC cycle. I believe NewCo will go public around the same time in the cycle before the next halving. CS and Stronghold only saw a 1.5x in price before crashing down. Whereas BTC and ETH both 4x. I'm leaning crypto heavy and then selling my 15% stock a couple of months after the BTC halving.

As I talked about in the Crypto thread. I had a lot of crypto in Celsius Network who filed for chapter 11 last summer. We have finally made it to the voting part of the plan and there are 4 options The easiest one to explain is a NO vote. A no vote sends us back to the beginning and wastes more assets paying lawyers. To me, this is the worst choice A Yes vote is more complicated. First, no matter what crypto I had in there I am only going to get BTC and ETH back. Which is fine. That was my primary holding anyway. The crypto portion I receive back with be made up of 50% BTC and 50% ETH A Yes vote also includes a % of NewCo (the new company coming out of chap 11 under new management) common stock. NewCo is basically a mining/staking company like Marathon, Hut8, HIVE. The breakout is as follows: Default New Co Stock Crypto Heavy Crypto BTC/ETH 37% 19% 48% Common Stock 30% 54% 15% Total Recovery 67% 73% 63% I get more of a return if I take more NewCo Stock. However, BTC/ETH could outperform the stock or vice versa. Looking at other mining stocks I believe NewCo will perform the same as Core Scientific and Stronghold. I would like to know what the geeks think.

Maybe I'll get a few days off.

#1 is get your covid booster.

Let's talk about some of the things that make blacks genetically superior to all races. There's a reason black people absolutely dominate when it comes to athletics. A lot of that has to do with their body structure. Fast twitch muscles and bone density. They are quick decision-makers which in general leads to explosive movements. That same body can be a detriment. It's why you don't see a lot of high-level black swimmers. Someone like you would say " We are all the SAME!!! It's because they don't have access to a swimming pool" However that same bone density and skeleton structure leads to poor swimming (at the highest levels) in general. The saying is, diversity is our strength. NOT our absolute sameness is our strength.

This isn't right or wrong. Or one is better than the other. Until we as a society accept our differences certain segments of our society will continue to struggle. Especially when it comes to education. Diversity is our strength.

Can't even have a conversation about it can we? Nope, the human race is completely equal. Despite the multiple differences we all have. There is no difference in our IQs. Everyone is the same.

While I agree with you that it does help move kids into private school. I still think the biggest problem is bad kids getting moved into good schools. BTW Because I see your argument I do think it's BS a parent still has to pay public schools tax when they send their kids to private school. I guess my issue is school of choice. People shouldn't be allowed to move to other public schools if they don't live in that district.

They will go to the school their parents send them to. Idiot parents think a school is good because they have better teachers, more money etc... so they send their delinquent to the "better school" because obviously it's better. Schools are good because the community around that school cares. The parents are involved with their children's education. What school of choice really does is hurt the "good schools" with bad students. My wife is a teacher and it only takes one bad kid to ruin a classroom. Sorry not sorry I live where I live and pay what I pay to get away from the same delinquents I had to go to school with. If you're in a bad school like I was, take AP classes like I did. You don't have the same riffraff in class and won't get left behind.

You joke but this really is the only way.

This will never happen.

Because I moved to a nice community and pay taxes to my local school. I don't want inner-city Rif raft making my kid's school worse.

Conservatives - it's liberal policies Liberals - it's systemic racism Both are wrong.

Diversity is our strength. -40-

I get these 2-4 times a year. It starts with pressure and a stuffy nose then moves into my lungs where it sits for a couple of weeks. Anyone have the same problem?
