Whoever they want? He's taking advantage of your here, @BillStime https://www.onlineathens.com/story/news/state/2021/03/28/new-georgia-voting-law-what-does-sb-202-change-elections/7038406002/ The secretary of state will no longer chair the State Election Board, becoming instead a non-voting ex-officio member. The new chair would be nonpartisan but appointed by a majority of the state House and Senate. The chair would not be allowed to have been a candidate, participate in a political party organization or campaign or made campaign contributions for two years prior to being appointed. Do you want to argue that they'll bribe some independent to do their bidding? Perhaps, but read up on it so you're not tricked by partisan BS.

I tend to agree, with the exception that maybe trading for 2022 upgraded picks. If we can trade our 2nd rd pick for another team's 2022 1st? I'd definitely consider it.

Biden Confronts The Economic Crisis

No thank you, sir. I still haven't figured out Mullholland Drive. -
Biden Confronts The Economic Crisis
Tenhigh replied to Trump_is_Mentally_fit's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
It lowered the US corporate tax rate to dis-incent tax inversion, which is when you move your headquarters or ops offshore to effectively arbitrage the tax rates. If it costs $100 to be domiciled in the US, and $50 to be domiciled in Ireland, business will move to Ireland. -
That's what you think you're doing here? Because that's not even remotely what it seems like to me. You post BS partisan tweets all the time, just like BMan and many others. Sometimes it's like a race to the $)$^ing bottom rung of humanity around this place. We should act like we would treat each other in public, because it certainly isn't like this. Why not try to engage folks and find out why they feel differently than you do instead of insulting them and chasing them away?

Combating imaginary racism with actual racism??

Did you take the time to read the article I linked above? -

Then why not just say that in the first place? Personally, I think solving the education gap will fix most of the employment gap. It's huge and no one wants to talk about it, and it starts at very early ages and gets wider. From the article: For instance, black students at the end of their high school career are almost four years behind white students in reading; the gap is comparable in other subjects. A study of 26- to 33-year-old men who held full-time jobs in 1991 thus found that when education was measured by years of school completed, blacks earned 19 percent less than comparably educated whites. But when word knowledge, paragraph comprehension, arithmetical reasoning, and mathematical knowledge became the yardstick, the results were reversed. Black men earned 9 percent more than white men with the same education—that is, the same performance on basic tests. How would you feel if you were passed over for a job based on your skin color? -
Combating imaginary racism with actual racism??
Tenhigh replied to Unforgiven's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
In some cases, yes. Here is a good read on the progress and remaining gap if you want to discuss the topic like an adult. It's left of my stance but it is a fair place to start an intelligent discussion. But if you are interested in disparaging others that disagree with you then we have nothing to say to each other. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.brookings.edu/articles/black-progress-how-far-weve-come-and-how-far-we-have-to-go/amp/ -

I think you shouldn't talk in hyperbole, that would make everyone feel better, with the exception of maybe you. -

As a whole? -
Maybe he meant that he wouldn't use his position as PRESIDENT for nepotism, but as VP it didn't count?

The child tax credit is the one that really concerns me, as it's basically reverting to the pre-Clinton welfare policy. We need to find a better way than incenting people not to work.

Why do you act like this?

Enough of the internet tough guy stuff already.

PPP saved my next door neighbor's landscaping business, and helped a lot of my other friends as well. Listen, I know you have a hard time seeing anything Trump's administration did as helpful, but the work done for businesses during the pandemic shouldn't be one of those times.

Zach Ertz about to be traded? [Edit: or Not]
Tenhigh replied to Rubes's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
A true lane clogger does wonders for this defense, and is the difference maker for Edmunds. Star is good at what he does, but my guess is we get another big boy in the draft.... -
Zach Ertz about to be traded? [Edit: or Not]
Tenhigh replied to Rubes's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You also have to add in the fact that that we'll have that 3rd rounder for 4 years at a super cheap rate, while Ertz will be a 1 year rental at a much higher price. And that 8-12 TDs is a bit of a stretch. LIkely, most of the TDs Ertz would score on this offense would have been rushing TDs last year by Josh. I'm not saying I'm against getting him, but a 3rd is pretty high, when you include everything else. -
The Media's Portrayal of Trump and His Presidency
Tenhigh replied to Nanker's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I think the guy that admitted to the murders said that is why he did it. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wsj.com/amp/articles/atlanta-shootings-fbi-investigating-killing-of-eight-at-massage-parlors-11615989454 -
This year is only a boon for teams with lots of cap space. Fortunately, most of them are terrible. For the good teams, like the Bills, not losing your good starters and building through the draft should lead to success. I do expect more parity this year though, as bad teams get talent infused and good teams lose key starters to cap casualties.
