Pokebball Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 (edited) 14 hours ago, ChiGoose said: The one put in place during COVID cut the monthly child poverty rate by 30% before it was allowed to expire. Not truthful, really. There were many reliefs implemented during covid, with the most significant being the direct stimulus payments and PPP. All combined they cut the poverty rate. It's also important to note that the poverty rate is a measure of household income and while that is certainly related to the amount spent on kiddos, it isn't a measure of the amount spent on kiddos. Again here, where those dollars were spent are the decisions of the parents. I know quite a few clients that purchased a new vehicle, when that really wasn't necessary, with these benefits. That purchase, which did prop up the economy (one goal of the stimulus), it really didn't provide any additional benefit to the kiddos. And as a poster already mentioned, the remote schooling has significantly impacted our younger children. Impact that will follow those children, and our society, for decades.

I understand that it’s more complex than “that’s actually a dude”, and that these women aren’t undefeated, but having XY chromosomes is very clearly a different level than “Michael Phelps is double jointed” that the left wants to argue is in the same realm. It's gonna take the cycle a day to come up with a narrative of how everyone is wrong and this is normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, no. She was stopped from the Russian-led IBA, which has been in dispute with the Olympic boxing committee for years now. She’s 112 pounds. She’s not Ivan Drago. Get over it.

So there’s that. 46 minutes ago, Biden is Mentally Fit said: Do you support the notion that it is appropriate for those born as male to compete in women’s athletics? It’s ok to say yes or no. You seem reluctant to do so. I am ok with it if the ruling bodies deem it so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only metric that supports it is the fact it pushed household reportable incomes up. Then they report the amount of children that moved out of a household below the poverty level. It was also fully refundable so the income tax payment was a windfall. What. 2 g per kid no matter what. It's good when one can help children suffering. It's indigenous to argue that that program only helped kids. That cash also support addiction that negatively affected children. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes one an expert at the state school board level as it relates to letting boys compete against girls? Don’t you care about girls that work hard to excel on a level playing field only to have an “expert” then tilt the field? Why is it ok to sh*t on girls so that one or two anomalous people can feel better by beating them? It makes no sense. Tell me why it’s ok without going to the “expert” crutch.

Leah Thomas had no significant physical advantage over women?? Ignore what you want so badly to believe and tell me what you know to be true even though you are not an “expert”. Also, you have told us you are a moral person. Why is it morally ok to put girls in a position that they must compete athletically against males?
