Probably the best odds on the planet. But it's not easy. Unless you inherited it and not many do. The odds of being paycheck to paycheck are about 1:1.

But it's not easy. Unless you inherited it and not many do. Definitely the best odds on the planet, and not even close. Last I checked we had more black millionaires then rest of planet combined. Also the most common job for millionaires: Teachers. https://www.google.com/amp/s/andrewhallam.com/fourteen-percent-of-americas-millionaires-are-teachers/amp/ It is easy to become well off if you don't make stupid decisions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool...so let's not F it up with meaningless culture wars, insurrections, rebel flags, hate groups, grifting, con men etc. play fair, win or lose. Is that unreasonable. I'm pretty much out of the game now but that's how I'd want it to work if I weren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a million is not enough but less is asking to be broke in 15 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree we shouldn’t do these things but there are people doing these things and for the life of I do not understand why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiGoose Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 3 hours ago, Boatdrinks said: So if disclosed , your take on it then becomes that it was simply because Thomas is a “ swell guy” ? Of course , most of us on this board have strong partisan leanings. I’m not that concerned about “ appearances “ or feelz. We can generally predict where a Thomas or a Sotomayor is going to be on an issue without them disclosing where every gift came from. If disclosed, it means Thomas followed the law and the public would be better informed about potential conflicts of interest. Doesn’t seem like too much to ask. Also, not caring about the appearance of corruption is how we get actual corruption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ferguson forever Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) So the good thing about this bs discussion is that it again put me back in the Adirondacks during the olympics. Just an observer and not even in Lake Placid for the game but this was a moment of clarity and anyone, anywhere close experienced the excitement.. The world was right. Watch the mutual respect, sincerity and honesty in this interview. These guys knew what this hockey game that many Americans didn't know the rules to, meant. They also worked their asses off to be the best or at least the best they could be in their profession. Start at a bout 3 mins. The country would be much better off if we were all more like Michaels and Dryden. "It's about winning".

Cmon... It sure isn’t Joe Biden or Kamaltoe. We can all think of this guy or that to be President , but that doesn’t mean they will run. Besides, it’s not really a guy anyway. It’s a belief, an idea, a drive. For me, ( someone who laughed at the idea of Trump) it was a revelation following his campaign and listening to his rallies. He won me over because his ideas were the best. He wasn’t afraid to tell it like it is. He talked about things that no one else would. Id definitely vote for him again. I’d certainly vote for DeSantis if he’s the nominee. His handling of Covid in Florida was great and I visited there many times throughout. He’s different from Trump, but I think his policies would be similar. He hasn’t even declared yet so we will see. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you believe the mega donor who adores Hitler is spending millions on Thomas? Do you believe it's personal love of another? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After seeing how things were going during Barry's first term, I vowed never to vote Dem again. It's only gotten worse as they've gone even further left and crazy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
