I don't know RLLD's point, but I'll say that the "Inflation Reduction Act" was more accurately the "Inflation Increase Act." Spending like a drunken sailor increases, not decreases, inflation. I'm confident, but not sure, that a financial guy like you understands this. Increasing inflation disproportionately hurts the lower class. As, remarkably, we are seeing now.

Phase 2: It's happening but it's rare. Even though it's part of a TED talk.

I hear what you are saying, but as I've said before, acceptance of LGBTQIA2 is a first world, maybe zeroth world problem. Many countries don't have the luxury of embracing the "full acceptance by our government". As with all cultures until recently, those countries require people to do what humans are generally programmed to do: mate with a man/woman, have children, some of which will die in childbirth or soon thereafter, and use the surviving ones to propagate their family. This of course depends on the country and situation.

Obama didn't handle a pandemic, it went away, as do most pandemics.

Thanks.

You said "think" four times in this post. That's fine, and you are welcome to not vote for him. Do you "think" that based on your opinion, he should be excluded from running for POTUS?

Why do you think a pride flag should fly at US embassies?

So we've got two deeply flawed candidates, but one of them is: Does that not bother you? Republican candidate on trial for people interpreting his words to... you don't like storm... walk quickly and sternly into the Capitol?

Well, you can call it even, but science doesn't. It is indisputable that liberals/leftists are more emotion-driven, based on scientific research, not your anecdotal feelz. If you disagree, please provide scientific research to support your claim. Seriously, this is why most successful artists/creative minds with divergent, out of the box thinking are liberal. These are the people coming up with the latest revolutionary ideas. It's not inherently a bad thing. But it isn't fact-based; that is the conservatives.

Wonderlic was 6. Having worked in a consulting area which provided similar feedback, I'll say that that is a special level of low brain speed. Agreed on the white boy gym rat.

Trump isn't my leader; I voted for Nikki Haley in the AZ primary as a protest vote. To you, "critical thinking" is voting for a brain dead guy who is a puppet for some unelected group behind the scenes, which seems to be increasingly supporting far Left agendas. To me, "critical thinking" is voting for a guy who objectively did a pretty good job until Covid (which would have crippled any POTUS). We will agree to disagree, but I would argue that you are so neck deep in your TDS that you haven't truly embraced what your are voting for in Biden.

They are saying they are committed to him, but then again, they would have to say that. Like you, I'm not sold on him, but he's objectively done quite well in his time here. Last year he was 3-5 when he came back; the team was 1-7 without him, and the roster totally sucked. Part of me says that if one of the top 3 QBs drops to them, they might draft him. But I don't think that makes sense. If they thought such a guy was "the" guy, they'd trade up to get him. So I think they'd trade out as I outlined above. Regarding the top QBs: I think Williams is a prima donna in the long line of USC QBs. I watched Daniels for 3 years up close at ASU and he just isn't that good, certainly at the pro level. Maye has the highest upside and I wouldn't mind going in on him. Has the potential to be exciting, but I expect those three QBs to go in the top 3 and the Cards to ho hum draft Harrison.

The new regime (Monti Ossenfort GM) seems more of a wheeler/dealer. I agree with you that if they think Harrison is a transcendent player above and beyond the other WRs they'll just draft him. Honestly, the draft of Paris Johnson at OT early last year was a safe, meh pick. But maybe they'll roll the dice and trade down a few spots if there are takers. I think one of the top 3 QBs will have to be there to make it happen, but we'll see. Also agree on QB. That position is way different than WR or others, where you can put more weight on measurables. A QB is either "your guy" or not.

Not boonies, suburb in the heart of town. We downsized when I retired from cancer and went to one income, but the area is nice. I'd guess, based on yard signs, that my previous neighborhood was more Biden-y. Thoughts on my response to you?

Do you expect da Bears to draft a WR? They seem set there, with plenty of more pressing needs. Nabers is 200 lbs so maybe he can be an Anquan Boldin type beast, honestly I don't know enough about him. I just want the Cards to stop drafting fast little guys.

Sucker punches piss me off. Puss move.

He's 6' tall, so heck, maybe the Cards will take him after all. You would think that a team who had a WR Mount Rushmore receiver in Fitz would understand the importance of size, but no, they keep drafting small fast guys instead of true X types. I love Odunze (who has X size), having lived in PAC 12 country and watched him more than most. This is why I'd love the cards to trade down a few picks and still grab one.

I said "storm" because, while you didn't say the word, that's the behavior in question. Would you like a different word? Paint me a picture of how the quote you provided is justification to indict and try the Republican candidate for POTUS. You can reuse the above words if you think it helps.

When it first happened my thought was, oh great, the Left and MSDNC is going to claim this is worse than months and billions of dollars of mayhem and destruction. And here we are, three years later, with Gutter thinking the burden of proof is on me to prove that his TDS-driven interpretation of SM posts is NOT a call to storm the Capitol.

Interesting. I would guess my immediate neighborhood is... slightly Trumpy. Probably close to even though. Yet no Trump signs, lots of "In this house..." signs. No Biden signs because, honestly, nobody really likes him. Certainly on FB I've got friends who aren't shy about both. Most of the pro-Trumpers (maybe all, actually, as I think about it) are from my original hometown in NE PA. I can't think of anyone in my current/local FB crowd who brazenly professes love for Trump. Several do so against Trump, though. I was talking more about face to face interaction. Have you had a friend who doesn't know your political affiliation say something pro MAGA/Trump to your face? I can't think of it happening to me. The opposite certainly has though.

You are the one equating your quote with a call to storm the Capitol. And you think the burden of proof is on me?

Yes or no? Since you are intentionally be obtuse, I'll cut to the chase. The answer is of course yes. Again, science is my guide: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0146167214554589 So, enough with your anecdotal "I've seen MAGA signs and some people stormed the Capitol so FACT" drivel. Science tells us that Lefties are more emotion-driven than Righties. HTH

I think you've been banging the preacher curl bar into your forehead again. You clearly have no idea what a fact is, and you are the poster child for using a few examples to exaggerate the position of conservatives. Simple question, boyo. Yes or no: Liberals are more touchy-feely in general?

Everyone here is laughing at you. Here, let's go back to something I said earlier that you ignored. Yes or no: Liberals are more touchy-feely in general?

Marginally worse. Please highlight the part about storming the Capitol.
