@stackerco I think it's a misconstrued interpretation of Sharon Eubanks' speech. She refers to the lifestyle encouraged by the temple (no children out of wedlock for instance) as the greatest poverty alleviation tool. Data shows that is accurate along with graduating HS & having two parents

The LDS church’s self reliance and welfare programs have data to show they help lift people out of poverty.
Temple building does not.
So why do so many members make a claim that temple building is the greatest poverty alleviation program in the world?

A 2024 Journal of Economics, Theology and Religion study found temples had no statistically significant impact on poverty. Before making claims about understanding economics, one should read the economic studies on the claim you are making. Source: j-etr.org/2024/04/03/the…

Teaching my daughter about payroll withholding
She did chores all week so I owe her $10
I hand her $7
> this isn't $10
"right, I withheld the rest"
> what does that mean
"I kept $3 of your money"
> but it's my money
"It was your money"
> what are you even doing with it?
"Funding household infrastructure"
> what
"The roof over your head. The hallway you walk through to get to the bathroom. The door locks that keep strangers out"
> you're charging me for the hallway
"I'm charging you for access to the hallway. The hallway itself was a capital expenditure"
> you're my dad. you're supposed to---
"I'm also your government"
> what if I don't want to pay for the hallway
"Then I can't guarantee the hallway"
> it's a hallway. It's already there
"For now"
She asks what else the $3 covers
"Meals, dispute resolution, nightlight maintenance"
> dispute resolution?
"When your brother takes your toys and I make him give them back. That's taxpayer funded"
> that's just parenting
"That's the Department of Justice"
> what about meals. You already feed me
"That's a social program. Not everyone qualifies"
> I'm your daughter
"Which is why you're currently enrolled"
She wants to see where the money goes
I tell her that would require a FOIA request
> what's that
"A form asking me to show you what I do with your money. Processing time is 6 to 8 weeks"
> 6 weeks to see where my $3 went?
"Could be longer. We're understaffed"
> there's two of you
She asks how she gets any of it back
"It's already spent"
> you spent my money already?
"We had a budget shortfall"
> you just took it 20 seconds ago
"And the deficit existed 30 seconds ago. The timing worked out"
> so I'm not getting it back
"I didn't say that. You might qualify for a refund"
> of my own money
"Correct. You just have to fill out a form telling me how much you made"
> you know how much I made. You paid me
"Right but I need you to tell me how much I paid you"
> so you already know the answer
"The point is compliance"
She asks what happens if she gets the number wrong
"Penalty"
> from the money I don't have because you already spent it?
"We could set up a payment plan"
> I'm 8
"Monthly installments. Very manageable"
> you're going to penalize me for getting wrong a number you already know and then make me pay you back with money you took from me
"Now you're getting it"
> I want to talk to mom
"Mom's not a qualified representative. She can't help you here"
She stormed off to her room saying how this is extortion
Slammed the door
That's my little citizen
I've never been more proud

@stackerco 4 out of 7 women with household incomes of over $150k have had cosmetic surgery.
Overlay the economics of LDS women in the United States and it probably removes religion as a causation factor.

This is the problem with the expanded CFP: it diminishes the value (and fun) of bowl season.
Instead of the bowls being a celebration of a great season, teams and fans hyper focus on the CFP and no longer care about the bowls.
I will continue to be a fan of the 4-team CFP.

@ByAlFrancisco THIS.
This guy is incredible and too many are sleeping on him. When Kyle Williams caught that ball today, I was kicking myself for not taking a bet out on our local savant.
Thanks for giving the guy his flowers.

I’m obsessed with the idea that the Turkish shooting board is too lazy to run local civil tournaments so they just decided to enroll an assassin and call it a day. Saved them the cash and won them the medals
