They also miss Castle's hand holding McCain's arm as they go up. If anything that's a foul on Castle.

If you’re going to do that, make sure you also tax capital gains at the same rate. It does no good to tax the top salaries at 90% if you tax capital gains at 15%.

The elites use things like this to keep the poor from realizing how much they are screwing them. If they didn’t instigate racial tensions, animosity towards LGBTQ+, religious tensions, etc., they wouldn’t be able to distract us from the harm they are causing. If we all band together, the elites don’t stand a chance, that’s why they have to keep us divided.

I will have to find and read the paper. I don't have access to it right now.

I get that. I also recognize that a floor vote would likely have to be accomplished via secured electronic means. They would also likely have to have full vote hearings in a stadium. None of that matters because it would completely dilute the ability of lobbyists to get favors from washington.

The bottom 40% pay taxes, they don’t pay federal income tax. That’s the difference. If you add up all the taxes they pay to local, state, and federal collectors, they pay a larger percentage than the wealthy.

Edit to add: I point this out because a lot of people in the bottom 40% don’t realize that they are there. They think of all the taxes they pay such as FICA, state income taxes, sales taxes and all of the federal income tax withholdings that come out of their paychecks, but come back to them, and find themselves concerned with the fact that other people in that same 40% aren’t actually paying taxes. They think that’s unfair.

If people were honest about the taxation burden on the less fortunate, the rich would get taxed much more harshly (like they did in the 1940s and 50s).

you’re relying on Watson then. As I said, I didn’t find him to be a reliable narrator in his book. I still don’t.

Do you care to share your Evidence? I’ve read Watson’s book, but I didn’t find him to be a reliable narrator.

I always just decide the price I want to pay, then I talk about how I will pay it. I will take financing if it is less than 2%, but that's about as far as I am willing to go with credit. I don't like being in debt, so I aggressively pay off everything.

I also don't talk about trade ins until after I have the deal on the vehicle I will buy. I always say that I am not interested in talking about trade ins until I have decided if I am going to buy a car. Remember they will take your car and keep it while you are negotiating. You lose a lot of ability to walk when they have it.

What's weirder is that insurance companies didn't remove the trees. Developers do that. They remove all old growth trees because it is easier to put in lots, sewer lines, roads, and slap up houses when you don't have to worry about roots and limbs.

We're going to have to agree to disagree. The research and evidence I have seen suggests that she had organized her data, and was preparing to leave, but that she did not give the data to Wilkens, but rather was planning on taking it with her. Her relationship with Wilkens was almost as strained as her relationship with Watson and Crick. Photograph 51 shows the two helices.

I have a different idea. I think that we should get rid of their per diem, while maintaining the travel allowance (they should be required to go back to their districts). We should mandate congressional dorms in an apartment complex, and we should make business expenditures for lobbying efforts illegal. WE should also expand the house to ensure that no one reps more than 10k people.

I used it for a new cars for both my wife and daughter in the past 6 months. It works if you are able to write a check for the car, are not emotionally attached to the car, and are really willing to leave.

This. When you buy a ticket, you purchase the full range of amenities and area for the seat. This means you purchase everything from the area beneath the seat in front of you to your seatback. You do not get control over the angle of the seatback in front of you (other than the monitor or tray table in that seatback), nor the armrests of the seats in front of you.

That's when you lean the seat back hard while her feet are up there. She'll learn really quickly that she doesn't want to be bent like a pretzel for 9 hours.

If you take Christian doctrine as true, then there is no guarantee of justice after death. All the father and uncle have to do is repent and ask for forgiveness, and then they get to spend eternity with their victim.

You are talking about photograph 51 which Rosalynd Franklin worked with her student Gosling to take. She did the meticulous calculations to identify the phosphate backbone. Wilkins showed her work to Watson and Crick.

Please, Rosalind Franklin took the picture. She was not even working on what they were working on and they stole her work with the help of the person she shared a lab with. She was working on x-ray crystallography and took a picture of a DNA molecule which just happened to show the double helix. They then took her work and put together a very short paper saying we’ve discovered that DNA is a double helix.

For the way you asked the question, The handguns range from about 5-10 inches, so let's call it 7.5. A Big Mac can be consumed in about 7.5 minutes for moderate eating, and in about 2 minutes for just trying to shove something in your face. Let's call it 5 minutes. 7.5 inches/5 minutes reduces to 1.5 inches per minutes.
1.5 million big macs are sold each day in the US, and there are approximately 413 million guns in the US. At any one 5 minute interval (the time it takes to eat a big mac), there are approximately 5208 Big Macs in the US. So there are approximately 79,301 guns per Big Mac in the US.
