Joe Machin and the Deficit

newtboy says...

You mean like Trump's last year in office when he spent well over the conservative estimates of $6.55 Trillion and collected only $3.4 Trillion in total income?
($1.6 trillion of which came from personal income taxes, $212 billion from corporate taxes...sure, that seems fair and proper)
https://www.statista.com/statistics/216928/us-government-revenues-by-category/

So essentially a tax Holliday year with the money going back to all citizens? What a major improvement that would be....and with the economy coming back after the Trump recession/depression, Biden doesn't have to put everything on credit, he can pay for his spending, and maybe pay for some of Trump's massive debts he left.

Trump came in with under $19.5 Trillion and left with over $28.5 Trillion in debt and his last year yielded a $5.2 Trillion deficit and the worst unemployment and biggest GDP drop EVER!!! Obama shrank the deficit to below $500 BILLION! Clinton had a surplus!!! Bush turned that into a deficit within one year and a near $1.5 Trillion deficit and depression when he left.

BTW, it should be a comma after "matter", not a period and double spacing. It's only one complete sentence. Even just 8th grade English class would have taught you that....also "let's" has an apostrophe, it means "let us"....are you sure you really graduated middle school? I can't see someone passing third grade with these English skills.

Hell if it does not matter.

Lets add yet another 4 , 6 or 8 Trillion on top of this and send out Biden checks to all Americans.

Nice show of sportswomanship

Please excuse my English, how? Is it just the apostrophe? Apostrophes on a Czech keyboard are a pain. Also, I humbly admit, I have no idea how to edit that text now :-(

And she definitely let the other girl go, also I am not aware of any tradition of this happening regularly in biathlon or cross-country skiing when sticks break or are lost due to contact.

Some Long Overdue Fixes (Sift Talk Post)

Racist is what you do, not what you say.

ulysses1904 jokingly says...

You don't spell the plural of American with an apostrophe, it makes you look like just another poorly educated American. And you were doing so well up until then.

So much for the post-grad research.

C-note said:

american's out source so much already. It is as if the sense of entitlement one has to demand another to do work for little or no compensation continues from the founding of the country on the backs of slaves to the present day.

The fact that no white male police officer has ever been convicted for murdering a black male in america's entire history will sadly remain a fact until the day you die. You have your entire lifetime to accept it or live in denial. So have a cookie. Trust me by the time you finish eating it you will feel better.

The answer is obviously no because https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge's_law_of_headlines

Also, for a terrible moment I thought your comment was an ironic jab at my apparently awful grammar, with which several people obviously agreed. Please tell me this isn't so because truly it would devastate me to be a) so bad at grammar it is notorious b) so lacking in self awareness.

ps. teehee the apostrophe broke the link.

Thanks. No apostrophe in for "Ants". Queen ants do live the longest. If I had sex to mate, then I would die instantly since male ants don't live long (they just eat, wait, fly, and then have sex before death).

artician said:

Happy Birthday Ant! Ant's rarely live so long, and I'm sure you have many more years left to you.

Adding an apostrophe is the accepted pluralization of an acronym or initialism ending in the letter S. Same is true if the noun is a single letter or number. You'll see it most frequently in books that contain the initialism SOS or on the hats of the Oakland A's or Baltimore O's.

This is giving me some serious flashbacks to downloading midi files of pop songs from one of the local BBSes back in the early '90s.

Teens React to Back to the Future 2 (Arriving on 10/21/2015)

poolcleaner says...

If you notice, I wrote the proper noun Simpsons twice, one without an apostrophe and a second time with an apostrophe to indicate possession, which is correct. "The Simpson's basement."

ant said:

The SimpsonS (no apostrophe) had an episode of the basement's Bender a few episodes ago too!

Where are our hoverboards, flying cars, auto-tying Nike shoes, growing pizzas, etc.?

It's only 45 minutes until we're back in the future! I wish I could have taken a time machine instead of doing it the Bender way.

(See Futurama/Simpsons episode where Bender shuts himself off in the Simpson's basement so that he can awake in the future.)

Surprise! I'm pregnant!

newtboy says...

I would suggest permanent infertility treatments for anyone that would do it...no matter what their age. There's no need for more babies, plenty are made by 'accident'. Anyone who can be talked into NOT making more people should be talked into that, they can always adopt if they change their minds, IMO.

That's why I put 'designed' between apostrophes, to indicate it's the wrong word.

Sex has EVOLVED for a purpose (or purposes). Cars are DESIGNED for a purpose. I think you know what I meant there.

If sex is done randomly, perhaps 1%, if done purposefully, with cycles, temperature, etc taken into account, it's much more 'successful' at causing pregnancy. (again, those apostrophes indicate 'success' may not be the right word for some, but is the one most people would use).

Because we're nit picking each other's wordings, the body was not "built". ;-)

Obviously, yes, that's what the terms indicate.

modulous said:

There was a whole host of contraceptive methods that I didn't mention. That some methods are more effective than others doesn't stop the existence of accidental pregnancies. I hope nobody is coming here for contraceptive advice, but if they are I'll thank you for the additional information anyway. I wouldn't recommend a 19 year old male has a vasectomy under most circumstances, though, any more than I would a hysterectomy for a similarly aged woman.

Sex isn't 'designed' for anything at all. It's a verb. It is no more designed than 'driving' is (a reasonable argument may exist that it is less designed than driving). It has many functions, procreation isn't the only one (which is why sex seldom results in pregnancy even when intended (I think its about 0.3% to 1% effective at causing pregnancy per attempt). The analogy is not the thing, the important point is the linguistic parallel rather than the similarity of action. One of a car's purposes, as you hint at, is to collide with things. This is not the norm, but it exists - whether it is for science or entertainment. Also, some people buy cars so that they can crash them for insurance purposes. Thus, one can crash a car deliberately, or by accident. Like a pregnancy. The fact that the car was built in a factory and the body was built through billions of years of evolution is not important.

An accidental pregnancy is a socially useful label used to describe the phenomena when people who have sex get pregnant, though pregnancy was not the intent of their sex. It is in contrast to a planned pregnancy in which the couple intends, as one of the outcomes of the sex, to procreate.

ForgedReality says...

Not to suggest you're one of those stupid people, or anything, but... its*

Just putting that out there.

"Let nature take it-apostrophe-s course." That's how I read it, mockingly, in my mind, when I see people using apostrophes wrong. It helps to stem the tide of infuriating murderrage if I mock the person, even if it's only to myself...

KrazyKat42 said:

I'm not suggesting that we should just kill all the stupid people.

But what if we take all the warning labels off of everything and let nature take it's course?
