Since the political world is an environment of unrelenting progressive triumph, why is the media environment shrill and hysterical?

Serious question: do you think "publicly funded" and "tax funded" are the same thing?

I didn't get a 10th year invite. Not even sure we've ever had one tbh. Our class president died three months before graduating and as far as I can tell it usually falls on them to get things kicked off for a reunion. I'm still friends with exactly one person from high school and he didn't hear anything either. We were kind of a lost class. The smallest that went through my high school in decades. In order to fill up the dais more at commencement they stuck the GED kids up there with us 😂 I was ranked third and wouldn't have made top 25 if I graduated a year earlier.

Fight for the US Military: get cuckolded by your wife while on deployment and watch as the USG gives her your pay, pension, and home. Fight for the Taliban: assigned a wife.

At this point I think it's safe to say that every statement that came from the White House over the last 20 years about how we're building up Afghanistan and its people was a blatant falsehood. What was it she said yesterday, the Taliban have to decide what role they want to play in the international community? Psaki you dumb B word you can't just summon them to HR they're a ***** terrorist army.

Back in the day we had a football thread in PPP during the season for us exiles to poast about our beloved Bills. Honestly since it was during the drought I think it made the mood here worse.

Aside from the whole conspiracy to commit tax evasion, wire fraud, etc. this would be solid. Three years until the feds catch up with you so you can live high on the hog for a bit.

Yeah from what I understand a lot of fed employees sign a mobility agreement basically saying the G can require you to move if you want to keep your job. Again, I'm not saying it's fair but to say it's unlawful is a stretch.

As in, how do they calculate it or how did they decide it was a good idea?

The feds are the ones I know most about so I'll use that as a reference. A fed working for the Miami office but approved to work remotely from their home in Orlando will not receive the locality pay for the Miami region. Of course locality pay is factored into their contracts. I can't imagine google and other big tech companies won't CTAs the same way.

The ones that were proposed in the post I quoted initially.

I mean I won't disagree but the "equal pay lawsuits" bit is laughable.

Lots of companies scale their pay based on location. Hell, the federal government does it.

Jets dumped Sam Darnold to draft Mormon Sam Darnold. Life is good.

CNBC: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/11/as-gas-prices-rise-white-house-says-opec-action-is-simply-not-enough-calls-for-ftc-scrutiny.html Yeah OK. It was hard enough for OPEC to reach that agreement. They're not going to change it now. Morgan Freeman's voice: "They have no tools." I wonder what could have helped put the squeeze on. Hmm... https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2021/03/24/joe-biden-climate-change-halted-oil-and-gas-sales/6990895002/ So did the White House not see the effects of this, did they not care, or did they decide to sell some of middle and lower-class America's financial security down the road while talking from both sides of their mouths?

Joy Taylor is a Dolphins homer (understandably) and doesn't really have the football chops. She's more suited to a news desk than analysis but does what she does well.

Gotta be able to cash out that vacation time

Meet the new boss Same as the old boss

Good for them. Beetlejuice looking *****.

The political priorities have been, and are: 1. Obtain power by whatever means necessary, including but not limited to: a. Import a new populace that will vote for your party in perpetuity b. Demonize the heritage American hoi polloi, whom you hate 2. Keep said power by doubling down at every opportunity and controlling 90% of the fourth estate to prop up your lies as truth As long as you look at ALL political events, statements, and policies through this lens you are more likely to stumble over the truth of the matter than anytime else.

No but that's what I'd do because I'm petty haha

Phins fans will be out here voting for every CB but Howard so he doesn't make the Pro Bowl and get that extra $$$
