    Xi told Biden he plans to take Taiwan — peacefully if possible (nypost.com) VERY relevant to my future deployment opportunities.

    When a third string QB wins the national championship, and even Aggy's third string puts up the numbers he did, I stop thinking I can see three levels deep into someone's depth chart. Fucking Brock Purdy is in the mix for NFL MVP. They're ain't no rhyme nor reason. It wasn't that long ago we had Case McCoy as our backup with Tyrone Swoopes as our #1, while dozens of other Texas QB's (Jalen Hurts et al) where killing it all over the nation. When people have PTSD around here, I get it. I really do. Thankfully we are in a different world now.

    I love Dum Dums. I generally hate candy, but damn that is good stuff. Almost makes me want to go to the dentist.

    If you like your Social Security, you can keep you Social Security. When you make no contributions, the government incurs no obligation. Social Security is paid to people who contribute, not people who don't.

    Wingo. Wingo not. Wingo fuck yourself.

    Then why are you opposed to letting individuals have private accounts and earn 3x what the government will give you? Why do you wish to discriminate against blacks and enrich asians?

    Well, you make that part mandatory. Freedom isn't free. I loathe the stories that talk about how minorities and other poors can't develop generational wealth. I would much rather see people who work, but die young, have something to give their kids. It would be enough for a house down payment, for example.

    The average american has paid 12% of his salary, lifetime, into a retirement fund that holds no assets. Take that money and invest it, you have 3 to 4 times the amount you otherwise get from Uncle Sugar. A sucker is born every minute I guess.

    I can't disagree. I also can't understand 20 year old stupidity. The NFL don't play like that. He is a top draft based on physical attributes. He can be top ten only if he is a feature WR next year in a great passing offense and cleans up his reputation. But tigers don't change their stripes. I lean towards fuck that guy. Sometimes the Aggy stain doesn't wear off.

    There is always a window.

    Here is a simple proposition. Call it Retirement Choice. You can give your money to a bankrupt government, or take the same money and put it in your own account and invest it. What do you think most people would do? Now consider most people, once the budget is balanced, will be getting back far less in nominal dollars than they paid (especially minorities). Social Security only continues because it is mandatory. The supposed "public support" disappears if there is any element of freedom to choose.

    Because minorities die at a younger age. Blacks collect on average until 72 years, while Asian Americans collect until 84. But once they cut benefits, then you are getting back far less than you put in, especially if you are black or brown. Which destroys the entire legitimacy of the program. By the way, if you can just "cut benefits" at will, then obviously the idea of a "lock box" is ludicrous. We have a unified budget.

    https://www.marketwatch.com/story/wall-street-braces-for-roughly-1-5-trillion-in-further-borrowing-needs-by-treasury-c54401f9 We are borrowing almost 50% of every dollar spend and we are at peak economic growth. Social Security is eating itself and public support will evaporate once people realize they have been defrauded once again. Your scenario is not far off.

    It is going to be a ROUGH three years for them. Elko CANNOT recruit. Imagine knowing you fired Jimbo, only to get someone who is objectively worse, and pay tens more millions for the privilege. He's driving away any talent they might have had. You can't compete in the SEC without talent, and they aren't going to have it. It's like moving in with your girlfriend, signing a lease, and realizing later that day you have to break up with her.

    I know, right? We should do the same to them. This game comes down to strength and speed. Who wants it more?

    If a tree falls in forest and nobody hears it, did it make a sound?

    I love Aggy. It literally never ends.

    They have a game in 9 days, with Christmas in the middle. I am guessing they've decided to go with whomever they already have, ain't no way to get new people in for all that. It's gonna be like when we had 6 total offensive linemen, that didn't go so well.
