@AmagyeiB @DanisMCFC That is AI dude. Wrong jersey number for Spence. Messi didn’t even touch him. He twisted his ankle on the other leg that got caught under him.

[Brian Schumacker @bdschu1]

@MadridPreeti You are fucking ridiculous.

[Brian Schumacker @bdschu1]

@benlikessport Smart play if he did it on purpose. Or he could just be trying to win the ball in a dangerous area.

[Brian Schumacker @bdschu1]

@DavidFurones_ 100%. Player’s responsibility for knowing where his opponent is and not kick him blindly.

[Brian Schumacker @bdschu1]

@JohnHonesty__ He could have stepped in between Yamal and the ball.

[Brian Schumacker @bdschu1]

@EinSchwarzwelt Stupid take. The player is responsible for knowing the opponent is there. I’m going to use that excuse if I ever get in a car wreck. Officer, I didn’t know he was there. How can I be held responsible for hitting him?”

[Brian Schumacker @bdschu1]

@UTDreds9 He is 12 years younger for fucks sake. Messi was 100x the player Mbappe is now. And he is a piece of shit like Mbappe. You are nuts.

[Brian Schumacker @bdschu1]

@BladeoftheS What a ridiculous take!

[Brian Schumacker @bdschu1]

@Blessing_Olivi You are crazy and have no idea what you are talking about. Clear penalty!

[Brian Schumacker @bdschu1]

My point is there was nothing confusing about it. He blindly kicked for the ball and his opponent was there. Clear penalty. Been reffing for 30 years, it was clear as day. I wouldn’t have any issue with a pen being called against France against Yamal in second half when Theo threw him to the ground with no attempt for the ball. But also don’t have a huge problem with it not being called. It could go either way. This one, it would have been a complete disaster to not call.

[Brian Schumacker @bdschu1]

@SamENole He is supposed to have awareness that the player is there. It is a pen 100%

[Brian Schumacker @bdschu1]

@ClipsBolts @Jacobtheclipper Know that his opponent is right there and that kicking him would be a penalty!

[Brian Schumacker @bdschu1]

@JGibbs405649155 @Carly_e5 You still pay it!

[Brian Schumacker @bdschu1]

I agree with most of your novel you wrote there…lol. By the way if you are a 1099 employee, you pay the full 12% which explains how someone would easily pay the amounts discussed. Nonetheless, this is yet another tax I am forced to pay with no choice in the matter, and my entire point is that the system is broken, has been broken, and will continue to get worse, all of which you so eloquently spelled out in your response, when it should have never existed in the first place.

[Brian Schumacker @bdschu1]

@thatsKAIZEN @omgsidewalks Quit talking sense to the commies. They will never give in!

[Brian Schumacker @bdschu1]

You make an awful lot of assumptions there. I know a lot of people who have paid more than $200K into the system and will never get that back out of it. I will be one of those people too. That doesn’t even include the matching 6.2% your employer pays in for you. We don’t need a safety net or an investment program from the government. I agree completely that people should invest themselves, and they should have more of their money to do so without the government taking it to waste on frivolous spending. The system is insolvent and is exactly a Ponzi scheme. When they rely on the payments workers make today to pay the workers of yesterday, that is definition of a Ponzi scheme.

[Brian Schumacker @bdschu1]

@GreggPurviance @Carly_e5 How is it not a Ponzi scheme? They rely on our payroll deductions today to pay for the boomer’s payments. Sounds like a Ponzi scheme to me.

[Brian Schumacker @bdschu1]

Congress passes all sorts of shitty legislation that is unconstitutional like the SSA and Patriot Act. Government has no business in retirement benefits. One, they suck at it. I will have paid multiple $100Ks into this system and will be lucky if I collect any of it at all since it is insolvent. Two, the private sector is much better at it. If I stuck that $100Ks into an S&P fund, I would be far better off. Not to mention my employer pays the same amount I do which means double the money for the monstrosity of government to squander on “fill in the blank.” But by all means, let’s give them more of our money. They are such stewards of wealth with the $40T in debt they have accumulated.

[Brian Schumacker @bdschu1]

It is well documented that our government has raided the fund for a multitude of reasons over the decades. It has also been documented that fraudulent claims have been a problem, although it is not as massive as people think. Aside from all that, our government shouldn’t be in the retirement business. They have no constitutional directive to do so.

[Brian Schumacker @bdschu1]

@JGibbs405649155 @Carly_e5 Where in the constitution does it say the government was supposed to collect a tax and disperse retirement and disability payments? I’m waiting…
