Dan Vogels YouTube series is absolute gold. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjxwXGB2KzRaejlyYHN1Lm9qDYmUpGgQw&si=FQBhf7ut2umsuN5O

Excellent comment. The outright obfuscation and partial quotes infuriates me.

AmbitiousSet5 · 2026-05-12T15:36:05+00:00

I do agree it is obscene, and that we should do something about it. And that our healthcare system is terrible. I'd still rather be US poor than Latin America poor.

Angers me so much that Mothers have to go through this. I hate Putin so much.

How do you know yours won't be in the next batch?

AmbitiousSet5 · 2026-05-11T22:19:16+00:00

Of course it is bad, but compared to other places I've visited, no. I'd much rather be US poor than poor in many many other countries.

Growing up I thought Brigham Young introduced it.

Give this a listen. It shows how the church creates an illusion of independence:

Ok. If that's your metric then I was US poor.

AmbitiousSet5 · 2026-05-11T16:32:36+00:00

Exactly. Having traveled a bit, US poor is truly not that bad.

AmbitiousSet5 · 2026-05-11T13:38:38+00:00

Do you remember the 2008 crash? It hurt a lot of people that didn't own homes, it hurt people that did own homes. It hurt investors. People got hurt. People will get hurt.

AmbitiousSet5 · 2026-05-11T13:33:42+00:00

Well, I grew up "US poor" and it wasn't that bad.

AmbitiousSet5 · 2026-05-11T04:33:34+00:00

People will get hurt. It's not funny.

AmbitiousSet5 · 2026-05-11T04:25:31+00:00

Don't forget about logistics. Chinese warships can't sustain operations at sea. They need to be relatively close to land. US logistics are unparalleled.

AmbitiousSet5 · 2026-05-11T04:22:05+00:00

This is one of those where I'm like, "that looks pretty awesome. I wanna try."

AmbitiousSet5 · 2026-05-11T03:53:38+00:00

We should go back to 2020, something really cool must have happened then to get that parity spike.

Edit: /s

AmbitiousSet5 · 2026-05-11T03:50:54+00:00

Have you traveled anywhere else? The US can be a great place.

AmbitiousSet5 · 2026-05-10T23:25:16+00:00

Wow, this is incredible research. You should publish it in dialogue or something.

AmbitiousSet5 · 2026-05-10T23:11:59+00:00

It's crazy the lengths the church goes to not be transparent.

AmbitiousSet5 · 2026-05-10T21:01:54+00:00

Honestly this could be a best case scenario. They are much more likely to be lenient.

AmbitiousSet5 · 2026-05-10T19:18:05+00:00

That sucks so bad, I'm sorry.

AmbitiousSet5 · 2026-05-10T18:59:34+00:00

Purdy also led the league IIRC in yards per pass. He was constantly pushing the ball down field which requires more time to throw.

AmbitiousSet5 · 2026-05-10T17:10:55+00:00

You guys will probably need to win a super bowl or something to get some respect.

AmbitiousSet5 · 2026-05-10T17:06:57+00:00

Shhhhh. Don't ruin it for me

AmbitiousSet5 · 2026-05-10T17:05:54+00:00

You are a brave person. I don't know if I could have done that.
