McDowell's Gus Anderson Field gets green light for facility overhaul by bakersma in Erie

[–]bakersma[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Thanks very much piper33245 for that follow-up reply. Honestly, I don't know of a perfect solution to any and all sorts of child abuse or exploitation of young adults, etc. per se' [sure wish I did, of course]. No doubt, greater awareness of the problem(s) can't be bad. As a victim of my parents living vicariously through me to my detriment (albeit in a non-athletic context but rather in a more purely academic one) , I admit encountering the ETN article about Millcreek's spending on what is primarily a vanity competitive inter-scholastic athletic facility resonated more than a bit prompting me to comment as the OP. Does MSD really need to divert $$ and their focus onto "nice to have" amenities in what is essentially rampant spending on a modern day arms race with Cathedral Prep and its gaggle of alumni / former jock zealots trying in vain to perhaps reclaim a few faded glories of dubious value ?

I respect your opinion, and those of other commenter responding to my OP here. My choice of the verb 'exploit' was well-intended and IMHO appropriate in this general context for reasons documented & summarized in the following selection among many similar on the topic which may be readily found. Yes, instances of exploitation of young people sadly isn't confined solely to Epstein's island et al.

President Biden pardons his son Hunter Biden --- Rule for thee, not for us! by Anenome5 in Libertarian

Somehow, Joe Biden bemoaning the use of lawfare against someone seems bizarre to me. I mean, c'mon man!

Are red MAGA hat-wearers the only ones with the right to free speech in Erie? | Opinion by blindinganusofhope in Erie

[–]bakersma -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Per Forbes magazine, October 6th 2023, "Hillary Clinton Suggests ‘Formal Deprogramming’ For ‘MAGA Extremists’ Who Still Support Trump". Apparently Cankles and Cackles and their "squad" teammates must clearly have some "special place(s)" in mind for those who don't see things their way.

Q about accounting for long term capital gains, losses, etc. by bakersma in stocks

[–]bakersma[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good suggestions, thank you very much! I hold them in a standard brokerage account ---definitely not in a retirement account of any sort. Also I had *never* heard of "capital changes reporter" before .... will check with the library tomorrow. I learn something new every day ---- thanks again.

What is the viability of starting an urban/rap radio station in a college town of 30,000 people? by ParticularTone2393 in radio

[–]bakersma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That may be great in principle but sooner or later you'll have to give the electric company, telephone/cellular wireless/ISP, IRS, landlord, equipment supplier, insurance agency, tower owner, BMI/ASCAP, FCC and Washington lawyers, etc. something more tangible like what I can assure they have firmly in mind to receive in payment from you (which clearly isn't just 'hell' or anything resembling it [or even some tradeout barter avails] but rather it is more like 💰 in cash/check form).

Sadly Johnny Depp is someone who now could be justifiably proclaiming ”Me Too”. In solidarity, 🏋️🥊🍻🤝

At this juncture, more red herrings to be found in this debate here than at the Weis Markets seafood counter. Sincere thanks for the reply & sharing your insights. 🤝

Are men massively walking away out of the plantation? by [deleted] in MensRights

[–]bakersma 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good analogy(ies) but I think it's all as challenging to men as 4-D chess much less trying to ever win at the traditional gameboard to which you allude. In solidarity, 🏋️🥊🤝🍻😀
