  1. Well one way would be to attract money back into the equity market and away from bonds and interest-based investments. Lowering rates is also thought to stimulate capital intensive activity, but that effect on the stock market is probably more "psychological" than anything else, giving companies more "growthy" events to make investors spooge over.

  3. Extricating ourselves from trade with China is a good thing, almost no question there. And tariffs probably play a role in that. But, again, it's more like the CHIPs Act than this.
  4. Possibly well-known, but a lot of the Central American gangs ensnare kids very young as ostensible "members" by giving them candy and money and shit, and later in life, when they want out and don't want to do crimes, is when the treat of persecution arises. So, it's theoretically possible to call someone a "member" of MS-13 or TdA, but they're no threat to anyone and never did any crimes. Disingenuous, but possible.
  5. Fuck yeah, hookem.
  6. Well UT is 20k plus plus, out of state for UGa is 30k probably just plus. Don't know what the student aide or waive out of state for good students situation is, but cheaper at retail than most privates.
  7. That's bullshit. It's a top 20 public u.
  8. A lot of people in Texas, for sure, looking for the bit state school experience now that Texas is out the window. UGa is actually a good school.
  9. Freedom of contract, motherfucker.
  10. Glad you've added adolescent psychologist to your repertoire. There are certain instances where I think it's quite appropriate to try juveniles as adults. So far, this isn't one of them. As I think imma pointed out, unless you know where you're striking with a knife, you'd be extraordinarily (un)lucky to cause a fatal injury with one shot. And this apparently was quickly fatal.
  11. The vertical stripes along the jaw are the dead giveaway and usually observable from a safe distance. Good example of one doing its pit viper imitation with the flattened head.
  12. Where is this being reported? One of the great shames of a case like this is that a minor is likely to be tried in the adult justice system when this reeks of adolescent bad judgment, which is the underpinning of the juvenile justice system.
  13. This really does sound like a Peter Navarro special. Cloaking simple idiocy in some kind of sophisticated "but I've got a Ph.D.!" shit.
  14. And, that was before offshoring. Those tariffs were relatively narrow in scope and protected Detroit while it got its shit (relatively) together. But the Big 3 also subsequently needed bailouts and went bankrupt. Although pretty transparently protectionist because Japan did nothing wrong trade-wise, an outlier example of how narrow, relatively short-term tariffs can "work." But, we still protected shitty businesses and business models, and, at least arguably, revived competition post-tariff caused the Big 3 to nearly fail and also actually start to get their shit together.
  15. And, fault for 08 was pretty systemic, sort of starting with Gramm-Leach-Bliley, and I don't need to remind anyone which Republican signed that into law. /s Rarely can you find an event like this and lay it at the feet of a single person.
  16. Yeah, that has always made me a bit uneasy. At least they didn't kill them, in most cases. Bessent lent his credibility, such as it is, to Trump, and lavished praise on his economic savvy. Whatever else he is, he's too smart to pretend like he didn't know something like this would happen. Although Wall Streeters are common for SoT, a hedgie really isn't. Typically, a guy that ascends to the head of GS has a broader knowledge of the economy than a narrowly focused hedgie.
  17. As long as it qualifies as an IRA, it's exempt. The exemption depends on or is coextensive with the federal income tax exemption/deferral.
  18. It is accurate. 401ks are exempt under federal law, IRA may be under state law and are in Texas. https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/PR/htm/PR.42.htm
  19. Well, if they can collect it, we as taxpayers are on the hook for it. He should have been impeached for this alone. Also, it drives me fucking nuts that Texas trial courts render judgment for attorneys fees on appeal.
  20. Once we went down 8 or 10, it was over and he knew it.
  21. Pitching change for UGa, but not an improvement. Bases juiced for Flores. Two outs.
