My wife just read an interesting study or data report, reported at least in JAMA and CDC, that after 2.5 years of Covid 19 children and adolescents 18 and under are 2.6 times more likely, a high difference, to develop type 1 diabetes after contracting Covid. We learned when one of our grandsons...

That is a good price for the 7 games. Especially if like last year the hawks are playing great with big games you could probably sell a single ticket to a Michigan fan for $100 or a Nebby fan for some nice amount. Last year we sold one ticket in our group of four for every game for some really...

If Jackson Ritter has above average speed and cuts I think he will really contribute. He looks tall-ish and made a few good catches so he seems to have the hands.

Thanks for the nice writeup. We all hope Moss's injury is 100% healed and perhaps braced up so he is playing like there was no injury. And it will be good to see ways the coaches can get Bruce the ball in open spaces. The two Williams at running back could be a battering ram that with a hard...

What about California and New York City? What are their tax rates since you brought them up? New York City, about 8 million people iirc, has a massive subway system, elevated rails, a huge port, two airports while Polk County has very little of that kind of infrastructure. Hell we just flew...

Well first of all I am not lying, it was a typo. I was probably typing too fast and thinking ahead. But you are calling me a liar, weird!!!!! I have a tendency to be thinking ahead as I talk and text, write so that was it. That is why people who are on twitter, which I am not, want a edit...

And logically if Polk county had a 10% tax no one or hardly anyone would live there so the Golden Circle would become a Golden donut with Polk being the hole and the surrounding counties with a much lower sales tax being the Golden ring of dough.

well that is called a typo, the county is 1% as I live there, thanks for noticing my typo. But no thanks for saying "what the F are you talking about"? as most people would probably first think 'typo'

And I didnt mention the flip side which is our guards cannot guard those fast types of guards. It is a big handicap.

Explosive guards playing in tonite's champ game on both teams, multiple guards on both teams. I didnt watch a ton of Big 10 games this year but during the Big 10 Tourney and the Big 10 NCAA games I watched Purdue's Ivey is the only explosive guard I have seen. JoeT for the hawks could blow by...

Haha, well u would think at least one out of the remaining 11 players would want to stay at LSU because they actually like The Fucking academics

I agree with you. This is the first NCAA tournament ever where I just have not watched many games or parts of games. I mainly caught some endings of games with Cinderellas in them. The athletes r amazing but one, the officiating is horrible and two, as you say, it was the usual suspects at...

Great for him. Some bad shit happened to him to put him in this position and to leave Iowa but he has one great sport memory and maybe a lot more Bball to play in his future.

Well how about making sure poor kids are not hungry and food insecure. Let's look at the basic needs that FDR and others have talked about. How about all kids 18 and under are covered 100% on healthcare and subsidized pharma costs for people who qualify. Doesnt it bother you that Drs. Banting...

the idea of stock transaction taxes is they are really small but there are millions of them all the time. Is a stock transaction the sale of an asset, yes, then tax it, just like when you sell a car the buyer pays tax and then all the licensing cost. Quit trying to tell me that rich people...

How can you tax the rich? Well, do you consider a buy or sell transaction of stock something that should be taxed? When poor people buy clothes they are taxed at the same rate around polk county Iowa, 7%, as when rich people buy clothes. As far as I know every legislative attempt to tax stock...

I support NIL to a degree. First, I do not think schools like Texas A&M should be allowed to set up big money contracts for recruits who are not even enrolled in school yet which is what I read into what is happening in some places. I havent read all the NIL legal language but it opens the...

Please see my reply in this thread to the same post by BigD that you replied to about the rich people abuses.

I am not trying to dispute your claims of people, mostly poorer, abusing systems like food stamps, aid to dependent children, low cost housing benefits, etc and just a lot of crooks who find ways to abuse medicare etc. But most times these are small dollar abuses individually but yes they do...

Remember it was not that many years ago a player in the Big 10 had to get like the special dispensation from the Pope to transfer to another Big 10 school. Plus you had to almost always sit out a year. It is totally fluid now, total free agency.
