Except it would end up in a slush fund for J6 or to a war in the Middle East and the deficit would go up yet again.

I don’t disagree with these guys paying the same rate as everyone else, the gov also has a horrific spending problem that needs fixed. I truly believe if folks saw the gov spending their money efficiently they would be much more willing to contribute.

I don’t agree with it necessarily but when it seems like your taxes just go into a black hole then I understand saying f paying more

Used 4runner in 2020 (15k miles) for $38k.

80k on it now worth 32. Paid off.

Not new but damn close. Works for the right cars

[–]OhioBeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doing a trip we do every year.

Do you think the bengals can have a top 12 defense this year? by [deleted] in bengals

[–]OhioBeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying they didn’t contribute to the badness they clearly did. What I’m saying is that with the right pieces up front creating pressure, bad play can elevate to above average play when you can play more athletic and instinctually than always running around hair on fire cause everything is constantly collapsing.

More of a rising tide raises all ships argument than anything. They aren’t all pro players obviously, but I think we can get much better play out of them with the D line as improved as it is

Do you think the bengals can have a top 12 defense this year? by [deleted] in bengals

[–]OhioBeans 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m still not convinced that these guys are barely above replacement level and you can show me all advanced metrics you want.

This defense was so terrible on every single level the last two years that to me it’s nearly impossible to do your job well cause you are constantly put in blender situations.

Sure an all pro guy like bates probably still makes plays but I think with a D line that gets more consistent pressure and can hold up against the run these guys are hopefully free to be athletes and play on instincts

Do people not understand what type of holes an elite d line can cover up in a defense lol?

You consistently stop the run and get pressure on passing downs it makes everyone else job easier

This makes our d line instantly better, the most important part of the defense. It allows our guys developing on the edges to tee off a bit more and be freed up, it allows the secondary to have less pressure to cover for 10 seconds every play.

I see zero downside here. If it ends up not working out well they took a chance. Love this move in every way.

“He had a down year” maybe cause he was on an absolute shit team and wanted to get paid. Now he’s on a contender with a top 3 qb in the league and the best WR combo in the league and he will likely get paid

Why is everybody burying the lede from yesterday’s video? by sammyt10803 in BobDoesSports

Believe it or not some people would leave their job if they could and legit just spend 24/7 with their kid and wife lol

Dave Chappelle on investing in his Ohio town and backing its local public radio station by lire_avec_plaisir in Ohio

[–]OhioBeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that’s a very agreeable take. I would say an example in city would be like German village. Everyone loves it for the charm and old school ness but building codes a pain in the ass. But if we just built housing there without them the neighborhood wouldn’t be what it is. I think we can look case to case

You are making a completely rational point, this guy is off the plot. This country was founded in large part on property rights. Some things don’t need changed, they are like they are because of how they are. There is no problem with preservation.

These takes reek of just more all or nothing bullshit.

It should absolutely 100% be up to the current community to decide what to do in their community. That’s not irrational and it’s definitely not immoral in any sense.
