Or, he'll (hopefully) become a solid contributor once he gets over the emotional rollercoaster he's currently riding post-election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. That's like asking the Bills to develop a young quality qb and be a regular playoff contender. "Happens from time to time around here, especially after contentious elections." When was last "contentious election?" 2000? Before that, 1888, 1876, & 1824. You talk like an old pro. I simply don't get the "happens from time to time around here" thing?

That's like asking the Bills to develop a young quality qb and be a regular playoff contender. There have been plenty of substantive, insult free, conversations had in the dungeon. Even on contentious issues. That's the whole reason to keep coming back, at least for the non sadists or masochists out there.

I simply don't get the "happens from time to time around here" thing? You forget 2004 and 2008 weren't exactly boring election cycles when it comes to partisanship. "Happens from time to time" meaning from time to time new posters make their way to these parts and have a rocky beginning by over posting and over reacting to the normal slings and arrows that get hurled about. Usually these sorts of aggressive newbies lean left... Then, they go away after exhausting themselves with the histrionics... or they stick around but with a substantially decrease in post count.

Dr.Sack Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) Dodd-Frank is a neoliberal band-Aid for the much stronger financial regulation Glass-Steagall it was meant to resemble. I assume most of your fathers hated when the Progressives of the 1930s signed this law. Last week Trump met with Wall-Street and now wants to roll back Dodd-Frank - that's fine by me, if it's going to be replaced by a more simpler but stronger regulation like Glass-Steagall 2.0. Let's keep depositors money outside of the brokerage side of the banking business. Trump rolling that back and doing nothing would be repeating the same mistake of Bill Clinton when he repealed it. So let's take a wait and see approach. This post will go dead, but when Dodd-Frank goes away & it's not replaced & the next financial crisis hits I'll happily dig this gem out of the archives.

Some people do have lives and things to do and can't be around 24/7/365. That sure doesn't explain most around here. ;-) Then, there are the ones who like to show up and shoot fish in a barrel from time to time. You know, the ones that say: "I told you so" or come off as being the "moral voice". We used to have places to go and get that treatment... It usually happened on Sunday morning @ 10:30 or so. ;-) Edited February 7, 2017 by ExiledInIllinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
