  1. I think I would wet myself if I only had to pay 1%!
  2. Hey, I'm too old to revolt or pick up crates of tea! Only 1.5%, I didn't know that. If they could see taxachusettes now! Always thought it was odd that the date is close to the anniversary of the "first shot heard round the world in Lexington/Concord", April 19th, 1775.
  3. Federal taxes this year again were well into the six digits, maybe Sally Struthers could send me a picture of the inner-city family I adopted! Here she is again in SF or is it Chicago?
  4. Tyson, Caterpillar, Boeing and Citadel all left Chicago last year.... Tyson Foods joins several other big companies leaving Chicago. What's going on? McDonalds CEO Chris Kempczinski recently said that crime is "seeping into every corner of our city" and he said that he's frequently asked, "what's going on in Chicago?" "We have violent crime that's happening in our restaurants ... we're seeing homelessness issues in our restaurants. We're having drug overdoses that are happening in our restaurants," he said last month at the Economic Club of Chicago. "So we see in our restaurants, every single day, what's happening in society at large." He said it's difficult to recruit people to work at the company's headquarters, noting: "One of the things that I hear from our employees [is] ... 'I'm not sure it's safe to come downtown.'" This past week Walmart announced the closing of 4 stores...... Walmart closes 4 Chicago locations permanently, leaving residents with fewer shopping options
  5. I'm not responding to pick on hawk but JD you bring up a valid point I have often wondered. I do not understand members here who are posting 30+ times a day, every day. Time is our most important resource, and I don't see how excessive TBD posting is a healthy substitute for; family, friends, hobbies, courses, job/volunteer opportunities, heck even other message boards. Even if you have absolutely nothing else and this place is your life, doesn't anyone get tired of yelling into the indifferent storm?
  6. The criminal charges will be minuscule compared to the upcoming civil suits. Once some of these minors become adults there will be a wave of malpractice lawsuits.
  7. I don't drink any of them, pretty much stick with Guiness. My wife's cooking probably killed my taste buds years ago!
  8. I put Willy on ignore a long time ago, tired of the clutter. I tend to ignore most Mass-holes, especially the 17-year-old varieties that live in their parent's basement.
  9. The most interesting part of "Ally's" campaign was she was trying to draw the younger crowd to Bud Light. Like your picture, younger beer drinkers in general despise beer from large manufacturers. They want their craft "goat hoof apple lager with a banana sticking out the top" beer. It tastes like piss but makes them feel unique and special. They were never going to migrate to larger beer brands.
  10. Another "stellar" Ivy league graduate with an undergraduate degree in.......English. She did earn her MBA from the Wharton school, so I suppose that is something. At 39 years of age and 10 months in the VP of marketing job she is underqualified to roll to out a campaign like this. AB will quietly dispose of her once the excitement dies down. She's a nobody and corporate will need appease shareholders for the earnings miss. She'll likely go on to write a book about "Why everybody was mean to me" as her career is finished in business.
  11. You're such a dumb liberal pervert. Getting you to respond like you did was like fishing for a sucker. I'm sitting here on the big screen with my wife laughing at you right now, it was so easy. I 'm like "hey wife you want to see a loser respond right away.....watch". Ha ha ha ha! Hey, I have to ask do you even have a job? A little insight, anyone with a real job doesn't post all day every day.
  12. This is just the next stop on the liberal perversion train. The pronoun pushing transgender movement has been mainstream for a while, check. Let's make sure that gender reassignment in children/minors is common, check. Next stop, legalizing sex with minors. If children can choose their gender, they should be able to choose when and with whom they can have sex, correct? I'm not sure what comes after that, perhaps legalization of bestiality? This might sound far-fetched but who would have thought we would have reached a point where we need to debate having drag shows and sexually explicit material in elementary schools?
  13. Or you don't want to work on the problem yourself, you need to solve in collectively/collaboratively. Or you made some progress, so you get to leave work after only working for 6 hours. Or you didn't make any progress, but you've been at work for almost 8 hours, so you go home so work doesn't interfere with your work-life balance. Or you want to work from home 3 days per week even though all of your tasks require you to be on-site and in the lab. Or you don't like to go to meetings but are upset if you aren't invited to all of them even if they don't pertain to you or your job function. Or you're sad because work isn't fun, and you want more pizza parties. Or you now have more pizza parties but you're still sad because they are boring. Or you complain to HR that everyone doesn't have the same salary because it seems like life isn't fair. Or you complain about the 401K plan that contributes more to employees with higher salaries. See Doc, now you got me all spun up, this is why I retired! 😀
  14. I don't have enough insight to place blame but that makes sense. My experience was with the results and as employees they were collectively the lowest performers. The Gen-Z kids right out of school were putting in much more effort and though they lacked the experience, were outperforming their higher paid Millennial co-workers.
  15. No surprise that Millennials, the worst generation, continues to stay liberal. Worst employees I ever had to manage, were always the Millennials.
  16. I don't believe my post made any reference to guns or gun violence. You don't seem to understand that legally 18-year-olds are adults. The fact that they can't drink doesn't change that.
  17. Old enough to vote, drive a car, be drafted and die for their country in war.
  18. This is the entertaining option as supposedly the citizens of Chicago were fed up with crime. Brandon defended looters during the 2020 riots so Chicagoans will likely see more crime. I expect we will all get to watch the continued fall of Chicago along with NYC, SF and LA.
  19. It starts with a "single event" genius. Do you think a major corporation is going to launch it everywhere without gauging reaction first? Next steps will be to launch nationally on the anniversary of "trans day". Why should corporations even go down this road? There is no reason for companies to enter the political arena. Why can't a beer just be a beer without political background or agenda? Would you be ok with a special edition Starbucks gun rights cup? Yeah, I didn't think so. Typical reaction of the left, no forward thinking.
  20. Here's the new Bud-Light can, rest assured there won't be any in my fridge....
  21. All the studies linked above categorize people aged 18 and 19 years old as children, probably in order to pad their statistics. Seems a bit at odds with basic concepts like the law, selective service, drivers' licenses, etc.
  22. I don't believe suicides should fall into the "gun violence" category. I have known a few people who ended their life with their firearm because they were "done". In a couple of cases, there were no further treatment options available, and they wanted to end their life while they still had that ability. The age in the stats you posted indicate for many it is valid end of life option.
  23. How about if you have ancestors that served in the Civil War? Can you trade that in for reparation coupons?
