I gotta say this! @KlassyDogs@FSAthletics We have had the sky divers jumping into Bulldog Stadium since the 1980s!! it is one of the longest traditions that we’ve had around this program… and it’s a great piece of the pregame!
As of this very moment, they have not been brought back for the 2026 season!! No worries! Still time to make this right ❤️❤️
Can everybody please get behind this post? We need the Bulldog Blitz skydive team every season! @BolingMedia
If you have ever had a job where you have to deal with the public on a daily basis, you would understand how stupid a lot of people are, and how Donald Trump could convince people to vote for him. Common sense isn't so common.
What about all the entrepreneurs that risked everything and failed ?
Or the ones that are grinding it out, trying to build a business ? You know, the ones that create more than 60 pct of the new jobs in this country.
The more successful they are, the more you hate them?
Take their money so they can't invest in other founders? Or invest in causes they believe in ?
And the ones that fail and get to deduct 3k a year of their losses ? Or went for it and are broke and might never see enough income to offset those losses ? You don't care if they go broke ?
10 pct of the people in this country are entrepreneurs that have started a business.
You ever try to help them ?
There are plenty of discussions to be had about income inequality. About helping people who are struggling economically.
I've talked about a lot of them in my timeline.
But in reality, saying "Eat the rich" will end up helping no one except maybe politicians trying to raise money. And probably hurt those in need, as more money is spent playing politics then helping
Wealth tax. Unearned income tax. Show me the multi year behavioral analysis, as opposed to simple models, that show more jobs, higher wages and personal wealth will be created for those who need it. I'd love to read them
Ideology is not a strategy. Nor is it a plan that has lasting impact on people who need help
And so you know.
I'm not a believer in trickle down. It's a joke.
I am a believer in trickle up. Where we do all we can get to get appreciable assets and higher wages into the hands of people who have to live paycheck to paycheck. I've said before I think raising the federal minimum wage to $20 is smart. When I heard people who worked for a company I invested in (but didn't run) needed government assistance, I made sure they all got raises. It was embarrassing to me that we didn't pay enough. I've made, or helped make, at least a thousand millionaires. And I'll keep working to increase that number
And that's the point.
The best path to help more people is to work with the people that can help more people.
If you demonize business people , you just make it harder for them to help anyone.
I'm not saying there aren't greedy, blood sucking business people that will do anything for a dollar.
But they are a small minority. Most entrepreneurs realize they are blessed. They want to find ways to help. They think they can use the same skills that built their business to help people.
And they can. They can hire more. They can give raises. They can educate. And they do all these things to help.
I've sat with Democrats and Republicans, incumbents and candidates,and asked them why they aren't meeting with businesses that make and sell the products that have become unaffordable, and asking them what can be done to reduce prices.
I do this continuously regarding healthcare. It's easy to see where the friction and increased pricing is coming from. Why (the politicians ) aren't you meeting with them and asking them to change ? Offering to support those that do raise wages, lower prices , improve benefits. Politicians just won't do it. They prefer the donations.
I did shark tank for 15 years purely to show people they can start small, grow their businesses, and help not only themselves, but their employees and their communities as well. And thats exactly what has happened.
Demonizing those that have success is counterproductive to every benefit you want to help bring to people.
Bernie Sanders Introduces Bill To Abolish Super PACs: "Our government is on its way to becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of oligarchs. Billionaires would not be able to pour huge money into super PACs, and it would end the era of unlimited spending and put power back into hands of the people."
Here's how you can help at no cost and with just a couple minutes of your time:

Just add your name at the bottom (or change the wording if you'd like and add your name) and press send. Be sure to do this for each of the email addresses.
2. Come back here, let me know you did it, and tag anyone you think would like to help.
3. Share this post far and wide, so these seniors can get as much help as possible.
With your help, we will protect these residents from losing their homes, as we've protected so many others. Thank you.
I’m not saying LIV golf is having a bad Thursday at @TheMasters but 66 year old Fred Couples.. trying to make his 32nd cut at Augusta.. is beating every single player they have in the tournament
I don’t think people realize how much healthcare costs are driving big companies to fire and not hire.
It costs them $30k per family, per year for premiums and care. Most of that goes to the massive, vertically integrated insurance companies that send weekly bills that no one reviews in details. And it doesn’t include the company overhead to deal with it all. It’s usually the 2nd largest expense after payroll. Which is insane
It’s far easier to blame AI than it is to blame Healthcare costs.
Want to increase jobs, wages and improve affordability for every American ?
Break up the biggest insurance companies. Make divest non insurance companies. They don’t need thousands of subsidiaries. That’s how they game and abuse the system and increase costs for all of us.
Call your senator and tell them to support the BreakUp Big Medicine Bill by @HawleyMO and @SenWarren.
The first time I abandoned a girlfriend in the mountains was an accident.
We had an argument about something trivial, and she decided to go off on her own for a bit to cool down. I insisted she stick to the trail, but she said she didn’t need me mansplaining how to find her way in the woods. So I dropped it. How does one manage to get lost on a mountainside, anyway? You just walk downhill until you hit a switchback or reach the valley. Common sense stuff.
Well, she managed it. When she didn’t turn up by nightfall, I contacted the ranger station and they set out to find her. By 1am, I got tired of waiting and drove home.
They called the next morning to say they’d found her in a makeshift den she’d dug beneath a deadfall. She was naked, gone completely feral, her face painted with menstrual blood. A ranger tried to wrap a blanket around her shoulders, and she bit a golf ball-sized gobbet of flesh from his shoulder. So they sedated her and took her straight to the nearest hospital.
That was three years ago and she still hasn’t recovered human language.
Needless to say, I acquired a taste for it. I’m up to a baker’s dozen now, not counting the one that found her way back to the car before I could drive off.
But you never forget your first. Sarah will always have a special place in my heart.
If legislators always vote with the President, we have a king.
If legislators always vote with the prevailing wind, we have mob rule.
If legislators always vote with the Constitution, we have a Republic.
America,
All we need is 10% of Americans to guarantee successful revolution.
We are well beyond that number now. Non compliance with taxes at 25-30% destroys this government.
Stand for something now.
@valleyofthedogs@MM2_Era I think you're missing Marcus's point. "We had a good decade, we'll be fine" is going to get us left behind. If we're not being innovative in our approach to NIL moving forward we stand little chance to achieve on a consistent basis.
@valleyofthedogs@MM2_Era We don't need huge money, but if we don't figure out how to fund NIL on pace with our rivals (Boise, Oregon St, SDSU) we're toast.
