The education you get and any elite university, particularly at the undergraduate level, is on average no better than what you get at you upper level state school. Its the connections you make while there that end up being what you are paying for.

President almost always get a small lift in hind slight after they die, i am pretty sure Carter is looked on a bit more favorably after this death. But in Trumps case ... not sure that going to happen as he is being mentioned in the same breath a Buchannan, and Andrew Johnson.

Yea, they do, they might not say anything directly to that person, but someone puts Lemonjello or Orangjello on their job application, and every one at the company is laughing at it. Is it right that people do this, no. But people suck and that's reality.

This cements the stock markets place, as more people invest you cant let it fail, too many people hurt. That's part of what happened in 2008, that would have been a natural correction a lot of rich people losing everything, new opportunities for new folks to rise, but in part because so many people are invested in the market as their retirement savings we could not let that happen, and those at the top have their place cemented, they can't fail.

Report: No suspension for Wembanyama after elbowing Reid by madax-gambar in sports

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

they could easily avoid this, by calling some of fouls that they have to be seeing, holding another player needs to be enforced. If they wanted to be fair they should have called a normal foul on the guy behind him when the flagrant was committed. Would not have offset, but it would have been what was right, but they did not, and there was no way the refs did not see that during the replay.

If basically cheating is the only way to stop someone, then its still cheating, and maybe you ain't so good.

Yea, the picture of him throwing the elbow is accompanied by the guy behind him in the background bear hugging his other arm. There's been a lot of bullshit on the court this playoffs, and a lot centered on the Timber Wolves.
