@elToroUnmasked @GeriPerna He simply received the same salary with inflation. Actually...was a fair wage, interestingly. Here, I built a graph using actual inflation during those years. You can see...1.1 million mid90s exactly the same.

@GeriPerna Edward S. Finkelstein made 780k in 1985... by the time the 90s hit Macys filed BK and the CEO salary was over 1.1 million within that decade... CEOs and upper management is where profit went so thats what happened...

When I worked at Macy's back in the 80's, people who worked there raised families on what they made. It was their career. I remember the guy in electronics retired after 30 years, and my boss in the cash office did the same. The guys who worked in the suit department did very well for themselves. Despite that, the store profited greatly every year, and we were given a beautiful Christmas party in appreciation. What changed in this country? When did it become nearly impossible to support oneself at a job that didn't require a degree or technical school?

@goJohnnyA @GeriPerna And a new Iphone is just over that now. However, $1000 in 1980 is the equivelent of $3,965.84 in 2026. Conversely, $1,000 today only has the buying power of about $252.15 in 1980. Inflation is government mandated theft.

@GeriPerna And there were TV stores in 1980, and a VCR cost $1000. This is 2026 not 1980.

Zero TSA line at Omaha Airport for those traveling to Houston. It was business as usual with the TSA team here.

@eliash10 When you prewrote all your media...Nebraska enters the sweet 16. Editor: Add "all sorts".

All sorts 😂

Congratulations to UNL for duplicating a fantastic program similar to Paul Scholar!! What a complement to Concordia for innovation. So many managers mentioned Concordia to my son during the...education.ne.gov/nce/nebraska-c… cune.edu/news/what-paul…

Glad he finally got the recognition he deserved during the "backstretch" of his career. Nebraska and Tampa Bay legend who deserves to be in the Hall of Fame

@txsalth2o @karol Means...is cash and time. Faith without works is dead. I devote my time...and cash into my children. Devotion love, loyalty, or enthusiasm for a person, activity, or cause...drives an action. If you're not driven to act... What is it?

@Sknerl @karol Church relationships are an investment of time- not cash.

Travel sports are largely stupid but I think so many families have leaned more into kids' sports because it's a way to foster community and the parents have few other opportunities to do that. Some do it for distant college possibilities, sure, but for many it's making friends.

@karol Honestly, we get 12 hotel rooms, pull a cooler, but time, fuel, food, and pay fees to participate in homeschool speech and debate. Yes, community. Yes, I do feel the competition and growth is valuable. Yes, it pushes kids to focus on something...not video games.

@txsalth2o @karol Nothing is free. There's a sunk cost to everything. Ask yourself, what is the boyscouts without camp out's? Sports without competition? Church without...mission trips. Doer or hearer only? Applied learning and skills or not at all? Oh no...nothing is free.

@karol church is free :)

@rising_serpent I wish our insurance were so cheap. We'd need to double our income to afford insurance, especially off the exchange. After that, it covered nothing and made the procedure more expensive than if we paid cash. What's the point? We dropped it. My family is simply not covered now.

We paid $190 per month for great employer sponsored insurance before Obamacare. A year later that number was double. Now we pay over $800 per month for really shitty insurance and the out-of-pocket deductible is prohibitive. You have to be high on crack, glue and LSD to believe this.

One thing that is not a question now. The Big Ten was by far the best conference in Men’s College Basketball this season.

… I kinda like that instead of shit talk, Iowa and Nebraska fans are just excited to be in the Sweet 16

Nebraska fans, if you can make the trip to Houston, do it. If you need a ride to the game from the Austin area, let me know. I've got my dad flying in Wednesday, we can fit 3 more people in my car. #Huskers

Nebraska Basketball is 28-6. Those 6 losses: #1 Seed Michigan ▫️Sweet 16 team #2 Seed Purdue (2x) ▫️Sweet 16 team #3 Seed Illinois ▫️Sweet 16 team #7 Seed UCLA ▫️Round of 32 Team #9 Seed Iowa ▫️Sweet 16 team

@McHargGBR It is what it is. I think Florida was overrated and the bigten, especially Iowa, was under-rated. Whether the Big ends up with the best team overall...or not..that's a lot of big10 moving through a bracket.

Am I the only one who doesn’t like that we will be playing Iowa? I think match up wise, Florida was better for us. Last time we played, we couldn’t seem to run our offense and just seemed so out of sync with what they were throwing at us.

Dear Houston bars, Order more Busch Light than you've ordered in the last 12 months combined. You're welcome.

The idea of Iowa possibly ending #Nebrasketball’s magical season is sickening But the thought of beating them to move to the Elite 8 is fascinating Incredible drama.

Iowa hate week in March? Why not? GBR

Buy those Houston tickets NOW Husker fans
