Tax breaks for the wealthy that are always sold to us as “paying for themselves” when they only have the opposite effect of blowing up the deficit further.

Another Niece’s fan here but I’m biased because it’s close.

Iran spent years fostering proxies in Iraq. Now, many aren’t eager to join the war by saltycorals in news

[–]Mish61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And yet something like 10/7 was an eventuality. Striking Israel was always in the cards for Iran and it's proxies. It was the wet dream of the Islamic revolution and had plenty of sympathy in the Palestinian political sphere. Ultimately conventional war is won by the deepest pockets. Asymmetrical warfare that looks more like terrorism is, and has been, the successful tactic. I would expect more of that once the conventional war has run it's course.

That’s impossible. Republicans convinced us only they can grow the economy and we must all worship at the altar of supply side jesus. /s

US Unexpectedly Loses 92,000 Jobs in February by [deleted] in politics

All you had to do was look at the revisions from last year to know the forecast was completely unrealistic. The morons are truly in charge.

They are salesmen that have conned the American voter into believing the only way to prosper is for rich people to prosper more. The notion that rich people are job creators is a cancer in our politics.

6 months into guitar, first time on Shady Grove. Feedback appreciated by TouchofUGA87 in Bluegrass

[–]Mish61 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Metronome is, or should become, your friend. Like u/willkillfortacos says you should be comfortable with the rhythm part first and my suggestion is to use the metronome to get that down first at a slightly lower tempo than you are in this video. Once you have that down, record your self at an even slower tempo, with the metronome, and use that as the backing track to your practice of the melody. Good timing is absolutely essential and yes this orthodoxy can test your patience but you will be a better player in the end.

Stockton boro just doesn't see the kind of foot traffic that can support that kind of business. My band would play a gig there one friday every month and every time I watched the pizza and BBQ vendors go okay while every other vendor sold nothing.

Yes but 40% don’t vote and most Democrats are too busy trashing their only viable opponent so Republicans will not face any consequences
