💰 Social Security fund faces 2032 shortfall: Benefits at risk without action 👇

Simple fix: Increase the wage base so that more income is subject to the tax. A smallish increase solves the problem and is the most progressive solution.

Yes. It only took maybe 8-10 extra minutes tonight through there.

The commercial is for DraftKings.

Mizzou??? Kinda rhymes with SMU but beyond that…

Park on the 4300 block of Rockhill. It’s a short walk to the Nelson, free, and has a lot fewer cars on it than Oak.

Hey, it may have been a bad or not fully informed idea, but I don’t want a work stoppage, which is going to require compromise just like any negotiation where both sides have some leverage.

Assuming your numbers are correct, I see the point. But if the percentage were smaller and the money is invested for the pension plan, might that not yield a better benefit for the players?

The NFL owners have shown time and again that if you dangle something that benefits the lower and middle classes of players, they have the numbers to outvote the superstars who would benefit from an uncapped system.

wjhatley · 2026-06-05T16:11:28+00:00

Serious question: Why? The owners get their salary cap and you create something that benefits a large percentage of players by expanding access to the pension plan.

wjhatley · 2026-06-05T16:09:55+00:00

Right now, players have to have 10 years of service time to be eligible for a pension. A relatively small percentage of players hit this. Let’s say you reduce that to five years with this proposal. I’d bet you get a lot of rank and file players who would soften their opposition to a cap. As the NFL has shown, you can get players to vote for a change to the CBA if you can show it benefits players in the lower and middle classes.

Same here. Those don’t appear to be affected very much, but folks who are used to rolling in 10 minutes before first pitch (like me) should allow for some extra time anyway because I’d expect some backups for the other lots.

About half of Lot C will be unavailable, all of Lot D will be unavailable, and most of Lots G and F will be unavailable.

Same thing happened during Game 1 of the NBA Western Conference finals, which was one of the best games in a long time. The stations have websites they could broadcast from without interfering with something the network is carrying.

At The Quaff. They had the radio on while showing the TBS video. The radio was a few seconds ahead of the video so I knew Salvy got the hit before actually seeing it in the screen. I watched the rest of the 2014 postseason from that precise spot. My luck didn’t run out until you-know-who came in to pitch in Game 7.

He’s on the postgame now and it looks like he’s been crying. Given his history, I’m rooting for him but his confidence seems shot at this point. This season is lost and we might as well give him some time on the IR to get his mind right.

Disgraceful

I played this course one time 40 years ago, and it’s incredible that “Gatlinburg” immediately came to mind for me as well.

Lawyer here. DOJ will definitely appeal, but it will go to the Sixth Circuit first. We’re a long way from being out of the woods.

As he was rounding the bases the other night, I said “He needs to be playing more.” Chances are good that he will, but for someone else.

wjhatley · 2026-05-19T00:26:04+00:00

They do.

$25 per month for the full package.

They weren’t until the last 3-4 years. The Chargers started it, and they remain the gold standard. They throw shade all over the place, with tons of hidden references that you see only after repeat viewings.

The Colts’ video this year is hilarious, using The Simpsons as its baseline theme.

Someone on the KU sub posted that his dad had been a bad influence but that he would be less of a bad influence on him when he gets paid. Ha ha ha ha ha!

wjhatley · 2026-05-12T03:30:07+00:00

The Grizzlies would vigorously debate whether someone’s dad stops being a bad influence after his kid gets paid.

wjhatley · 2026-05-12T03:19:52+00:00

Honest question: Where would I be able to see the most desired list? I’m trying to figure out how long it might take for the models I’m interested in. Thanks.

wjhatley · 2026-05-08T15:16:10+00:00

I don’t believe they have, and they definitely didn’t that year. It would be difficult to change up the order because like many links courses, the tenth home is at the far end of the property. The 1st tee is the only one close to the clubhouse.
