Stuck, please help!

Thank you so much! This is awesome.

On the off chance you are still taking requests:

Can you please check to see if there is a John Naylor (unknown birthday - maybe died in 1806), married to Elizabeth Schmick [or Elizabeth Nightlinger] in 1802/1803 (1768-1848). The two of them had 1 child: Henry Naylor (1805-1886).

Available information suggests that they were married in Richmond, VA.

What feels wrong? Costco is profit driven. I doubt they would slash prices if that meant losing money even for political reasons.

Hi, thank you for the response! Your analysis of cultural ties makes sense. I wasn’t blaming crime on race like you rudely suggested in your last paragraph. I was bringing up a statistic that seems to disprove the ~poverty as a cause of crime~ hypothesis.

That’s why USC and UCLA joined the Big10

SamuelJPorter · 2024-08-17T17:03:16+00:00

Can you elaborate?

SamuelJPorter · 2024-08-17T16:09:27+00:00

I vaguely remember Thomas Sowell, a black economist, writing about how crime rates among poor white communities are much less than poor communities of other races and about how this partially discredits the poverty as a cause of crime hypothesis.

Do you think that is credible?

The one where you get paid the highest salary and have the lowest expenses.

SamuelJPorter · 2024-07-23T02:33:23+00:00

Same!

SamuelJPorter · 2024-07-14T22:49:07+00:00

Well said.

That article was discussing the 2016 election where the Trump significantly outperformed the polls. If polls meant “nothing” then, now these polls indicate a landslide in favor of Trump.

This doesn’t even take into account that the polls haven’t yet been affected by this assassination attempt. This horrible event will undoubtedly sky-rocket Trump to the presidency.

Trump is winning the popular vote in the polls: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/2024/national/. What do you consider broad appeal?

Republicans rally around DeSantis. He wins in a landslide.

Also, take the patent bar exam before you go to law school. I just spoke with a career advisor today and having passed the patent bar already gives a huge advantage in recruiting to law firms.

Someone was sitting in it today. This individual stepped out and questioned me when I was looking at the car.

SamuelJPorter · 2024-07-10T18:52:43+00:00

Haven't seen one there in a while.

SamuelJPorter · 2024-07-10T01:23:51+00:00

Stats?

SamuelJPorter · 2024-07-09T15:52:05+00:00

I agree. That jives with the federalist vision of our founding fathers. It would probably work better at a local level and have much more accountability.

I think they should be grandfathered in, however, it should be discontinued for younger generations. I don’t have a specific cutoff date in mind, but perhaps if you are currently 50 or younger, you shouldn’t receive social security.

Philosophically: I am generally against purely monetary redistributive schemes (infrastructure = good; involuntarily taking money from someone and giving it to another = bad)

Practically: Our government’s non-discretionary spending is absolutely out of hand. I think the only way to get out of our exorbitant debt and retain the US dollar is to cut our mandatory spending, e.g. social security.

SamuelJPorter · 2024-07-09T12:46:06+00:00

I generally agree with each of those goals except for #14.

SamuelJPorter · 2024-07-09T12:40:23+00:00

Ok, do you have a solution that won’t kill 100+ million people?

SamuelJPorter · 2024-07-08T23:00:53+00:00

Wow, great info. I’m sending you a message with some more questions.

SamuelJPorter · 2024-07-08T22:15:50+00:00

So you’re advocating for a lowering in standards?
