I think we found your problem right here....

Part of the Harvard hockey scandal was kids cheating on an ethics course. To be fair, how could those athletes have known the kids they paid to write their papers and take their exams would cheat? They're the real victims, here.
 
First it was baby formula. Then it was gas. Now it's airline flights.

Every business was handed massive amounts of money to ride out the pandemic and come back strong on the backside. Instead, these industries all pocketed their profits and said, not our fault we're coming up short now even though were essential products/services.
 
Time to start attaching strings to money.

no buybacks during the loan and for five years after repayment.
No dividends for the same time
executive compensation is frozen for the same time
no bonuses for the loan duration, to anyone
we move to front of the line ahead of all debt holders, stockholders, and share classes
 
Economics Explained, it’s a YouTube channel run by an Australian PhD.

https://youtube.com/c/EconomicsExplained

The videos are mostly 15 minutes or so, with some longer, like the housing prices video, and he gives some opinions that are flatly non-partisan. He will even preface some comments to say something like here’s the cold, calculating take, but here’s why we don’t necessarily go that route.

Maybe the Gov't should have made them pay that money back, instead of giving it to them??

I dunno what the answer is but it is very clear that our government is a complete failure when it comes to basic economics. And it usually all happens as the direct result of the most fucked up Republican laws.
 
The redistribution of money from the middle class taxpayer to the wealthy worked exactly the way it was designed. Government works.

It just is not working for you.
 
I’ve been driving so little these days that I just got my oil changed for the first time since September. It was $112, fully synthetic, up about 30% since last year from the local quick lube place. I had made an appointment for 8AM today, but the shop opener showed up late and looked like he would be another 30 minutes before they’d be ready for my car. I don’t have that kind of time for the wait today.
 
So Comey and Andrew McCabe were subjected to a random intensive audits in 2017 and 2019 (not sure who was in which year). 5,000 of 153 million in 2017 and 8,000 of 154 million in 2019.

There should definitely be an investigation into why this happened. Sure, rare astronomical events happen, but this is fishier than pelican sh-t.


edit: 30,600:1 in 2017 and 19,750:1 in 2019.

It should be investigated and prosecuted. But who really believes it will? We can't even keep fireworks shooting speeding cars off of our streets.
 
Yes I believe he has like 9 kids now with at least 3-4 different women. He obviously takes care of almost none of them and was disowned by the oldest for various reasons.

He and Herschel Walker are trying to be Nick Cannon. Somewhere Shawn Kemp and Adrian Peterson are applauding!
