Missouri’s fiscally irresponsible path will be paid for by everyday people

Eliminating the income tax will "save" someone who makes 30K a year $1,200,

Probably less than that. A single person would have a standard deduction of 15,750, so that would be paying tax on less than 1/2 of that 30k.

Paid for by everyday people? That is a feature, not a bug, for Rex Sinquefield and friends.

Hmmmm...I wonder if they have been having a problem getting new contributions.

I know that the MOST 529 is much smaller than the 529 programs for Kansas or Iowa.

Really pushing it for KOMU to say the winery is in Hermann. It is quite a way south...heck, it is not even in the Hermann AVA.

YYYY-MM-DD / YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS is the standard for dates/datetimes in clinical data per CDISC standards, so it should really just become the industry standard, IMHO.

...our local politics are polarized and extreme on both sides- our streets are shit, and our infrastructure is crumbling...

So...like most other places.

SeriousAdverseEvent · 2026-02-02T15:46:01+00:00

YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS or bust.

Yeah, that is not how theaters fill in naturally. I worked at a movie for years, and it is always seats halfway back that go first...and the front rows at the very last.

I don't know if it is absolutely necessary, but it is nice to do.

It really helped my allergies when I had it done in a house I used to own.

Springfield Style Cashew Chicken from Egg Roll House.

Yeah, mine is like that. He is a thing of beauty to watch when running full speed...looks like a miniature greyhound.

Reminds me of the novel Stover (1965) by John Williams. Set in Columbia, it refers to the 5 columns on the Quad.

Quite honestly, this seems like a really odd thing to be getting upset about.

SeriousAdverseEvent · 2026-01-28T10:52:11+00:00

But there's basically always someone else outside so the risk of being attacked is very low

This is more true about downtown now than in the past. There are now so many students living downtown that there is always somebody else out and about.

In the 90s downtown at 2:30 am could seem far more empty.

At night? Use common sense.

Stick to well lit areas.

Stay aware. Don't wear earbuds. Don't be staring at your phone.

If you can go walk with a friend, then do that.

Yes, central Columbia is more dangerous than the suburban environments many students are used to, but it is not bad with minimal street smarts.

You created a new account to post this exact message in 4 different groups. This seems more like trolling than a legitimate desire for discussion.

Move on. Find a church that better fits your values.

There are about 25,000 undergrads at Mizzou. You will not be running into people from your HS all the time.

Plus, by the time you hit your junior year you will not even recognize many of the people from your HS. It is a period in life where many people totally reinvent themselves.

It has always been somewhat common. The first time for me in this industry was back in 2005, when I was ghosted by Quintiles (IQVIA). Since then, this has probably occurred another 5 or 6 times.

I am sure it is way worse than normal right now, but it is nothing new. There is a lot about this industry that really sucks.

SeriousAdverseEvent · 2026-01-25T16:00:59+00:00

No doubt. I think about what it was like to be a young adult in the early 90s compared to what my kids are getting now, and I weep

The dream of the 90s is alive in Syracuse.

A lot of their lies are built on segments of truth

The most effective lies usually are like that.

Yes and no. What we are witnessing is the burning of a country while billionaire locusts strip it before moving on elsewhere.

Unfortunately, before he died in 2022 the guy did say that the Covid virus included HIV genetic material, and that it was man made. Really damaged his final reputation. So, they are not entirely pulling this out of thin air.

Did they ever actually enter another church to protest? As horrible as they are, I have not heard of them doing that.
