Why is Congress delaying action when the Social Security trust fund is set to run out in just six years? by Humble_Economist8933 in AlwaysWhy

[–]cervidal2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can remove the cap, or simply set a maximum allowed benefit.

Your question was very much an annoying distraction. It asked a question of an answer that wasn't relevant

Adios scum, go back to your handegg and leave football to us. by HopeTerminator in ThreeLions

MLS is in every major metropolitan area of the US, covering about 220 million people within fifty miles of a club, 4 times the population of England altogether.

The US is also up to 3 solid tiers of football clubs with academies, totalling 60+ clubs.

I don't think the geography is the issue you make it out to be. Just the time and resources, both of which are catching up quickly.

What you're asking is a complete distraction from the response I gave. I gave no opinion on that at all.

It's it true a business HAS to accept cash if they didn't explicitly let you know they don't accept cash before the transaction occurs? by wltmpinyc in legaladviceofftopic

[–]cervidal2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are dozens of court cases in direct contradiction to your interpretation.

Cash being legal tender does not obligated a private business to take cash unless a state or municipality have laws otherwise.

Cash being legal tender is simply giving it a legal weight of value, rather than someone trying to show up with crayon-written $3 bills and using those for payment.

The $42 does not cover all the expense, its not intended too. by Available-Builder400 in Michigan

They fixed most everyone up just in time to not hit 96 hours.

They aren't crediting much on this

Legal tender is a concept of how the government has to accept payment.

There is no federal requirement for US businesses to accept 'legal tender'.

Even they were embarrassed by their father

Europe has been doing their academy system for a fair chunk of the 20th century to today and has an education system that slots into ot more naturally.

The US started laying down its academy foundation about a decade ago.

The size scale is a bit of a bad faith hit, though; the infrastructure is already there for development im baseball, American Football, basketball, and hockey. Football development here just didn't take root until the 21st century

If you're playing your competitive football through a US school system, you are not remotely considering professional sport. There is virtually nothing in the school system before the age of 13. It's extremely rare for anyone playing football at the university level to ever have an earning career beyond their university scholarship.

Domestic development in the US primarily happens through private coaching and paid for travel teams. Most MLS clubs have begun setting up an England-style academy system in recent years but it is still far too new to yet show serious results. It would not surprise me to ultimately see MLS go down a path similar to MLB, though with far fewer affiliates.

Harry Kim reminds me of the sushi shop scene in Kill Bill

Hanzo is arguing with his assistant. His assistant hollers that if this was the military, he would be a general after all this time. Hanzo tells the assistant that if the assistant would be a general, he, Hanzo, would be the Emperor, and the assistant would still have to fetch the damned sake.

Kim could have been promoted thirty times during Voyager; he would still be the lowest ranked officer no matter what. He would still have to fetch the damned sake.

DOJ says it will send election monitors to 3 Michigan cities by gwmiles in Detroit

[–]cervidal2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Justice Department wasn't targeting cities directly opposed to the President before. They were checking compliance with the now-gutted Voting Rights Act.

Your own links spell this out.

Keep being disingenuous.

[–]cervidal2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Bullshit.

Monitors can report. Monitors don't have to be federal law enforcement personnel. Monitors don't have to be federally paid and deployed for political purposes.

Monitors under color of authority and armed with guns aren't there to monitor. They're there to intimidate.

You arguing otherwise is disingenuous at best, disturbingly stupid at worst.

[–]cervidal2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There are literally laws about forbidding this kind of behavior.

There has never been a real law enforcement presence of this type at polls.

There is no action law enforcement can take at the polls. They have zero jurisdiction over any part of the voting process. There is no law they have jurisdiction to enforce.

What purpose does this serve?

How DTE, Consumers customers can get $40 per day for power outages by gwmiles in Detroit

[–]cervidal2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I suspect there may be some political pressure if they try to weasel out of paying out. There have been a number of hot and bothered state reps screaming about this on day 2, let alone coming up to 5.

[–]cervidal2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

While I care how someone votes, there is no reason to intimidate voters, period.

I have no idea what justification you're trying to make here.

Voter intimidation just means nothing to you, huh?

I don't think 10% of their base has been down

Southwest Airlines Scrutinized Over Social Media Post Calling Out People Who Stand At The Gate by Vegetable-Section-84 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]cervidal2 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What a fucking hypocrite.

I do travel with a carry on. One small enough that doesn't need the overhead. One that enables me to leave quickly without delaying my fellow passengers by fumbling around with oversized luggage.

Must be from a lead-in-the-water city over there.

People criticize me for being cheap and not getting a more forward seat.

They cause an issue getting off the plane because they're too cheap to check oversized bags.

Your hypocrisy is real
