In fact why don't you investigate all the category choices (on the left of a PC page) and ignore Discussions+ until the spam…
For those who have access here is the original "OPINION" column from the Washington Post. It seems to me to be a rambling speculation of what could happen, not if Biden wins, but if Trump loses and doesn't accept it. Again we are discussing someone'…
@AbrahamLincoln I'm not sure that is exactly what I was trying to say. I think I was trying to say that consideration of the needs of both groups needs to included in the solution. But I do think the nature of the age group means that if young adult…
Why is that age the favorite of those looking for someone to go to war? Why is that age the most likely to do take dangerous dares? Why is that age the most likely to do want to surf the most dangerous waves?
I admit that I am a little weird on th…
My Alma Mater is seriously confronting the issue, though I can't say the METHOD is always to my liking. They invited feedback from alumni, so I sent them some, earlier today. Confronting the past, facing the future, too.

Black lives matter. I guess I will die without seeing this country understand. President Barack Obama gave me hope that America could change. How naïve was I?
And, with that, credibility gone.
And just who at MFO are members of the credibility determination cabinet? I can't believe that Anna wasn't at least asked to serve on such an elite committee.
The true crime is they never learn. "They" being those making the rules for distributing the money. After the BP gulf oil spill, the son of a woman I went to school with applied for a couple of million based in a false claim of business damages to a…

@Crash, I think the problem is that they won't stand behind each other against attacks and threats which is why, individually, they don't stand up to Trump. If they supported each other (and the institution and constitution), things might be less cr…
@Mark
You are going down a dark path. I know I am already 3/4 of the way down it. You end up just staring, breathing, and waiting. And waiting. Meanwhile, what you see is a few people that try to call out get drown out by outrageous behavior that ju…
@Old_Joe
… Certain documents in the filing were designated confidential and withheld from the Guardian....
I just noticed this. How in the world is something that may take away people's rights or give them a virus that can kill them ever be designa…
I moved to Washington ten years ago and was pleasantly surprised the first time a ballot magically appeared in my mail box. We had registered to vote when we got our WA drivers licenses. Since then we have routinely received our ballots, voted and r…
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez explained that she was just following Democratic procedures:
"If you were confused, no worries! Convention rules require roll call & nominations for every candidate that passes the delegate threshold. I was asked t…
Yep, a 35% tax that falls predominately on the middle and lower class is exactly the solution as long as there is an echo of giant daily landmark highs in the casino.
Repetition, not statistics, all too often produces undeniable, irrefutable, universally accepted virtual reality truth. Such truths cannot be contested with any amount of data, common sense or investing acumen. Can you contest the belief of a religi…
Oh well, I think I will complete my conversion of paying bills to completely internet banking. And I do wonder if Caremark will increase its assumed delivery time.
I live in WA where they were already voting by mail when I moved here 10 years ago. …
It will not seem strange to most people but I am increasingly unconcerned with the individual things that are happening, many of which I assumed impossible. Now I am concerned that no matter what the act is, constitutional or not in the lay person's…
@Mark
True but if the Republicans manage to suppress the minority vote, then what? California has more than a few minorities. Some have lived in the area longer that the white man but still face any hatemongering consequences. The east of the Sierra…
@rono - No, the way I've got it figured is he heard he lost the popular vote by 3M and he also heard this virus is particularly partial to "libruls", especially wrong color ones. So I think he wants to get as many cases as possible so that 3M die be…
I stumbled into the fund alarm rating system first and then into the fund alarm board. I followed everyone to the new platform when the old fund alarm died and came out of the shadows. It's an addiction now. I can't imagine Christmas without MFO.
People are just weird. I was talking to a libertarian type yesterday in another state. Their governor just made masks mandatory. Prior to this my friend was outraged that not everyone was voluntarily choosing to wear a mask. The second the governmen…
@Mark - No but branding is everything. ;)
When you have no ideas of your own you find something someone else said or did and rebrand it as your own initiative while twittering insults at the originator.
As to the branding. I admit I don't really ca…
I keep trying to twist my brain into the dirty tricks arena. So.... I've been thinking that no one needs a replacement plan, all that is necessary is to kill the current plan, rebrand it and bring it back with a few insurance company and tax law cha…
Imagine what a President could do if both of the following passed Supreme Court muster.
"Trump Signs Executive Order to Overhaul the Federal Hiring Process
Order seeks to place less emphasis on applicants with college degrees."

@hank Were you persuaded? I admit that I have wondered at times why I refuse to listen to a sentence he says. Perhaps I have been afraid he might pull me to the dark side just like he has, IMO, almost half of the US.
@rono Is that like "duck and cover" in the 50s? You can duck all you want but there really doesn't seem to be a fallout cover anywhere but your school desk.
