@Jerolepus@Fat_Electrician Primary (sound) objection is that most wealthy peoples' wealth is imaginary. It's stock valuations. If they are taxed on billions in stock, but don't actually have billions liquid, they have to sell the stock to pay the tax. The stock tanks. 401ks tank. Everyone loses.
@SmokeEmUp138@anymanfitness Your argument isn't mutually exclusive with the point. Yes, it was economically easier decades ago. Separately, people spending on eating out while complaining about being broke are contributing to their own problems. They act like "it's only an extra $10" but $10/day adds up.
@BudElliott3 We are headed back to exactly what everyone loved 30 years ago. Small regional conferences will happen. It'll just be 3-4 divisions each of the SEC and Big Ten. But regional play and rivalries will be restored. Good "OOC" games between divisions. And meaningful games for 40 teams
@BudElliott3 This is legitimately the first time I've heard an argument that sways me on expansion. Expansion is a terrible idea for deciding a champion. But I grew up with a bowl season that mattered, and this is maybe the only way to replicate that.
@Utah_Nole Not wrong. The problem for me really is the fall-poff. I can be realistic and say that coming off Taggart those years were acceptable as a rebuild. But you can't be responsible for 2-10 and expect to stay on 3 more years.
@theregimer@saulgoodman178@travisakers And employers would be forced to pay more due to market demands. While that could still theoretically happen, the existence of a federal minimum wage inclines people to accept that minimum where they otherwise may not.
@theregimer@saulgoodman178@travisakers They get together to protest for an increase in the federally fixed price because our system tells them they are just minimum wage workers. Without minimum wage, the market sets pay. Without a federally enforced minimum, few workers would accept what current minimum is 2_
@pt939913@BudElliott3 Not likely to happen. College is a free training ground for the NFL, very few high school players (like, fewer than 1 per year) are capable of playing at an NFL level, and the kids can get paid at college now. No huge incentive for anyone to implement a HS draft.
@mason__clark_@CTrefugees@REALLYOFFENDYOU Won't happen. Prices follow basic supply and demand principles. If only the upper class can afford them, there won't be enough demand to sustain those prices, and the market will return to a place that allows for enough buyers to satisfy demand.
@REALLYOFFENDYOU@CTrefugees Average annual appreciation is 4%. After 5 years, on average her $200,000 purchase is worth $243k. After all fees and expenses, she would profit $23k conservatively. Better than 10% return on your living expenses, as opposed to never seeing any return on rent.
@aakashgupta 1. You only charged labor for the plating of the food, while you factored all prep and cook time when preparing at home.
2. Your entire premise centers around the idea that you are an idiot. Throwing away 99% of your seasonings, overspending on protein, etc.
@BertRuizz@ReesesAlterEgo@TJ_Pittinger This was specifically about QB recruiting. He has landed blue-chip QBs, failed to develop them and portalled over them.
@ReesesAlterEgo@TJ_Pittinger I mean... yeah. It's a development issue. Don't want Norvell here anymore, I'm just not gonna act like literally everything is awful. Recruiting isn't great, but QB recruiting has been alright. QB development hasn't been.
@FLftballSuck@PeteNakos@On3 The kid from Oklahoma is a true freshman who had season ending knee surgery before stepping foot on campus. Sperry is the only other scholarship QB on campus. We are supposed to ride with 1 QB and hope for the best?
