Did grocery store profits not surge in 2020 and 2021 well above what a normal margin would have been for the industry?

So nobody has yet to explain how giving people money is going to cut costs.

It doesn't. Your issue is really that the tax credit should have been in section 2.
I'd agree with that.

I get why you as a libertarian would be against it, but a birth year tax credit to help with the related costs during that first year would be a huge help for new families and wouldn't cost that much relative to the current child tax credit. There is also always a fairly strong ROI when the government gives lower to middle class families more money.

I do understand the argument that if you can't afford children, you shouldn't have them. That's what I did, but it doesn't change the fact that many people do have children who can't afford them and longer term impacts of helping those families will be beneficial to the children and the country overall. Longer term, the birth rate in the US is too low a tax credit would help there as well.

It's good that the big east is getting some preseason respect. You guys are definitely under ranked. It's bulletin board material.

For what it's worth, how good a job Holloway did last year with what he had is underappreciated, even on this board. Hopefully, this year will actually have a big east rep on the committee who stands up for big east teams.

Kenpom Rankings. 5 Big East teams in the top 25. Seton coming in at an underrated 91

5 Big East teams in the top 22 and Seton Hall 91. Sure, we’ll see. Board material

It's amazing that CBS, which is inextricably linked to the NCAA Tournament, is the only major outlet that really props up this clown. Almost anyone they could use would be better.

thought so.

just because i'm right and you're embarrassed to respond doesn't mean i'm a troll. when you guys get stumped you either deflect, name call, or take your ball home. check one for name call.

When you're comparing what the candidates have posted on their website you know the candidate you want to win is in trouble. Pretty sure that means they've done a terrible job telling the people what they're for.

no it doesn't. frankly probably the opposite. the one is positioned to find solutions, the other just diarrheaing all over the office.

really interesting though because most people here think she's a bad candidate because she has no ideas. well they're all there. in depth. i doubt anyone will read it god forbid they have to admit it. one already admitted it lol.

I managed to get through page 1 of Chapter 1 before the sheer stupidity hit me right in the face.

Under "Lower Costs for Middle-Class Families", are these:

Restoring the Expanded Child Tax Credit to Up to $3,600 to Help More Than 100 Million Americans
A New $6,000 Tax Cut to Help Families Pay for the High Costs of a Child’s First Year of Life
These don't lower costs. They put more money in the hands of the chosen ones. If anything, that would most likely increase costs.

That's no different than saying tariffs would decrease costs for people.

I couldn't read any further.

there's meat on this bone. not sure if you stopped reading the other link i said which is embarassing.

you would think $6000 goes to new families not chosen ones no?

That Trump issues page is an abomination, but the "Free, Honest and Lawful Elections" one made me laugh out loud.

People like to get on the Harris campaign for being scant on policy specifics (not disagreeing with this), but it's not like the Trump people are doing any better here.

Q: "How are you going to end the war in Ukraine?"

A: "Well, we're going to end the war by not being weak and not being dumb, which is what Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are. It's very simple..."

This is like how a fifth grader would respond in an argument.

Are "the chosen ones" 1) people who files taxes, and 2) have children?

I was there for the 1st half. They were much more aggressive on offense .In fact they had two near misses one hit the goal post the other just high.

Big issue is can the Coach manage them. Or will they be kids with pocketful of $$ looking to the next stage.

That's being a Seton Hall fan and reliving 2000-2001 all over again. But since then we've seen a lot of teams get really good seeds and/or make good runs in March with freshmen going to the next level. Yeah there's the occassional year it blows up in a teams face but overall I'd bet that's not even happening 2 times out of 10 when a program gets 2 McDAA's. I think the bigger question will be their physical strength. In the world of transfers everywhere you can have a team of 18 year olds going up against a team of 23-24 year olds.
