I mean, name one politician you could trust with that power?
There is no human that can go through what is needed to go through to be president that wouldn't abuse the crap out of that power.
Something like 20-30 companies would effectively hold that same power immediately upon the ruling being made. Is this not setting up the king for a day scenario, but forever instead of a day?
6 weeks is a long time.It is, and makes it super hard to get a jury selected usually. Sitting them so quickly was quite a feat imo.
Don't millennials/genZers pretty much have to have more education? Not sure if it's just hyperbole but I keep hearing more and more stories of positions requiring a 4 yr degree when the job description quite frankly doesn't even require a full high school education.
One primary source anecdote: Mrs BAC (works for Satan in O&G) mentioned that they have job openings for admins. She also noted that all of the current admins... Most of which have been working there between 15-20 years, are not qualified for the new hire admin positions they are looking to fill
Probably some hyperbole, but younger millennials gen z and their parents have probably been hoodwinked a bit in this regard. There are a lot of god jobs out there that don’t require university or advanced degrees, but most of the managerial/hr/etc. type jobs do. Couple that with the high price of college nowadays and in recent times and the number of people getting worthless degrees or degrees for low-paying sectors and there you have it.
There are tons of good jobs in tech, manufacturing and the trades that don’t require advanced degrees.
Imo the trades are only going to become more valuable and less and less people will be able to do even the most menial of tasks in the future.
education equals wealth. always has. always will.
There are plenty of cheap houses in a lot of the flyover town that really thrived decades ago. Fewer houses in the big metro areas.I wonder if some of this will be self correcting with remote work and early retirees
Small town America kind of dying is an impact on the current housing situation that I don't see discussed very often. A lot of our boomer parents that got these low cost homes lived in places like Norton, Kansas. You too could buy a low cost home in Norton, Kansas!
Sup nerds.
I have my 401k with my employer with 5% match and then they match my investment which is neat, have had a Roth IRA that I maxed out last year and am already getting close to maxing it out this year. Any other investments I should be worried about on my radar as a single 26 yo male? With my job I cannot sports bet so that's nice so looking to put my money into something worthwhile. I also have a high yield savings that I put my bitcoin money into but have been told to maybe put that into a mutual fund...
Thoughts?
taxable investments are underrated imo. good job on the tax advantaged stuff. if you don't have a brokerage account you should open one (can do it the same place you have your 401k/IRA) and like SF said a simple S&P fund (I use VOO) is a good option to set and forget. Also just keeping a chunk in money markets there isn't a bad deal as you'll probably scrape 5% from that at the moment. if you have kids (OR EVEN IF YOU DON'T BUT WILL SOON) you could start a 529 for them. lots of good options out there.
I didn't realize you could earmark your donations to the Ahearn fund unless it had six or more zeroes on it.You know what I think you’re right, outside of capital projects it may just be Ahearn Fund. You can choose specific sports for NIL if you donate over like $20/month, though.
not specifically topical but the same percentage of people own homes at the same age for all of recorded history. you hear people claim differently all the time. liars and dumbasses I believe.Sure the trends are similar, but based on that chart it looks like millennials trend about 10% boomers at pretty much every age (with Gen X in between). Not earth shattering but seems like it’s something.
One that seems to be going in the opposite direction of the norm: Starbucks.
They incentivize you to use their app via free crap every so often, birthday drinks, etc. The app used to ask you, after every purchase, how much you would like to tip. They took that function away a year or so ago. So now, you pay with the app, but if you don't have cash(lol, what's that) their employees get no tip. Kinda wild.
I assume they found some legal reason to stop doing this and just took the option away before they got sued, but who knows. Given the tip environment everywhere else, this one is a head scratcher.
when you are checking out on the starbucks app it has the total at the bottom and then a little button that says "wanna leave a tip?" but you do not have to engage with that button in order to complete your order.
it's a good question. and happening at the same time as the non-tipped wage is also increasing.I can probably think up a dozen theories, but I do wonder if there is an actual reason.

Also, I’ve been in my share of hospitals and if they’re searching that lady for ANYTHING, it’s probably because she’s on some sort of watchlist as a dangerously unstable person. Which based on the headline seems likely.great covert ivermectin story

A friend we grew up with saved her dad's life by sneaking ivermectin to her dad hiding in the laptop's keyboard. Story is now being picked up by conservative media, infowars and epoch times.

JFC it's horse de-wormer not C4 plastique. I really doubt a person would have any trouble carrying a box of that crap in to any hospital anywhere and I really don't think anyone in said hospital would even think about stopping a person from taking it if that's what they wanted to do. Most any hospital employee would do is say "okay, wierdo" and outta there.

I've never heard of EADA. That's a pretty nifty site.
The actual football and basketball related revenues are pretty even between KU and KSU. But KU appears to be kicking our asses in making money on other sports. KSU made a total of $724,806 in sports other than FB and BB, while KU made $7,309,243.
The anomaly with KU is $133,367,608 for revenue not allocated to any sport. I have no idea what that is but it dwarfs the same line item for Texas ($37,043,295) which is almost the exact same as KSU's ($37,867,002).
Can you really call money for a FB stadium not allocated to a sport?
Honest question without having spent any time looking, how do other school compare? I mean do we utterly suck at getting $$ for vball, tack and field, tennis etc, or is ku wholly above a ton of people here.
They already tore down basically the whole bunker, so I mean they have to build something, right? Sporting and the Chiefs aren’t gonna just loan them a stadium for more than a year.
Why in the world would you think I would know that?
I don't stalk you dumbasses/frat bro Chads around all over this blog, it's the exact opposite.
How does this renovation outcome vary so much from what was announced just a couple of months ago?
1. No renovation at all on the east side of the stadium.
2. Stalled retail development.
3. Seating capacity reduced by 5,000 seats more than announced.
Is there like a state statute that mandates KU conduct all its financial affairs as sketchy AF?
Do they get held legally responsible when one of the independent contractors commits a crime? Was thinking they have in the past but I could be wrong. In this instance it appears they don't know who their customer is and allowed their service to be used in pursuit of fraud that resulted in one of their independent contractors getting killed.I don’t know how any specific lawsuits have worked out, but I know Uber has said it is a technology company, not a service company. Basically their platform exists to put in touch people who need something with people who are willing to do it for a price. So they’d argue their culpability is the same as Facebook or Match if someone murdered a person they met on there.
my irl best childhood vehicle memories are road tripping in a 1991 ford aerostar. i just don't know if future grown ups will talk wistfully about the 2024 hyundai palisade. maybe! but idk.
