@aftynbehn4tn Just like with tariffs companies don’t pay them. They collect them…..from consumers. Corporate taxes and import tariffs have the same impact higher cost of goods to the consumer. At least tariffs intend to protect jobs……let’s see if they do???

i’m just a girl, living through yet another tax filing deadline, knowing that some of the most profitable companies in this country paid ZERO in federal income taxes.

@PicturesFoIder Love that student loan money!

Meanwhile in Knoxville, Tennessee

@Sephirothwings @PamF194 @miles_commodore It’s our state. We like it. We can choose to do it. Your state can do what it wants. Not every program must be a federal program.

Maybe taxpayers should just pay for a down payment on a home for everyone, or heck why not just give everyone a car, or free gym memberships. Taxpayer funded programs always inflate prices, that free community college will translate in tuition inflation for the remainder of the bachelors degree.

Tennessee has a program called "Tennessee promise" it gives free Community College tuition for every resident. Keep in mind there is no state income tax as well. Why doesn’t every state have this?

@ras15411 @DefenceInstinct It’s a finish in both. Newaza is a thing. Judo submissions tend to be faster and less clean.

@DefenceInstinct Well that’s a BJJ finish

What Judo vs BJJ looks like 😱

@CTXLife @KeeronDoig @ianfranklin @BritisherPaz49 And this is where we are cooked. Start acting in a way that is moral and ethical regardless of what it’s worth to you. Men should be the shield of women and children.

@Jr1776 @KeeronDoig @ianfranklin @BritisherPaz49 Why are men gonna risk their lives for worthless bitches? Men stormed Normandy because they had something WORTH dying for. Now they got nose ring wearing twerking hogs and retarded ass people bringing dogs to a playground without a leash.

That breed must be destroyed. Every single one of them.

@KeeronDoig @ianfranklin @BritisherPaz49 Or….take the bites so the kid can get away. Damn. Men charged the beaches of Normandy and this guy won’t get bit.

@ianfranklin @BritisherPaz49 Fuck was he meant to do

@SquirrelTew @ClayTravis If Nashville wants them the can be the Nashville Grizzlies. Don’t make all of Tennessee pay for another Nashville team.

@ClayTravis The most truthful statement LeBron has ever uttered. We went to the Grizz-Lakers game in Memphis last year. Downtown Memphis is like a 3rd World Country. The Grizzlies should move to Nashville. Rebrand as the Tennessee Grizzlies. Play 2 games in Memphis & Knoxville each year.

LeBron says he doesn’t want to go to Memphis to play the Grizzlies, that team should move to Nashville.

@Tim_G_1983 @rroruman @theficouple Can we send them to Charolette?

@Jr1776 @rroruman @theficouple 😂 Everything you just knocked Knoxville on is way worse in SC. What are you talking about? We’ve got a vacation home on Bluffton that is just rental income. Only about 1 mo/yr would I rather live there.

Here's the math: A single person earning $70,000/yr takes home ~$4,500/mo after tax. A realistic budget: -$1,200/mo: Rent -$400/mo: Food - $330/mo: Transportation - $280/mo Utilities/phone - $500/mo: Fun ...Living within their means lets them invest ~$1,600/mo.

@Tim_G_1983 @rroruman @theficouple Knoxville sucks. Too much pollen. It’s hot. Traffic….definitely should not move. Go to South Carolina

@rroruman @theficouple We live in the wealthy suburb of Knoxville, Farragut… you can get an apartment here for under $1,100 and it’s projected to be one of the best cities to move to for the next 5 years.

@DMCatron @TaylorLewan77 @gkittle46 Go back to San Diego

@TaylorLewan77 @gkittle46 If you are calling that the best Mexican, Nashville area is really lacking. I'm still hunting after 19 years living in this area after spending time in San Diego

Lotta men would have stood ten toes down about their take that there is no good Mexican food in Nashville. Technically this isn’t in nashville so I’m still kind of right. I’m here to say, we found a good one courtesy of @gkittle46 To put it simply El Jardins is good Mexican food.

@bored2dthNashvL @Archieballs @TaylorLewan77 @gkittle46 Go home. Problem solved....

@Archieballs @TaylorLewan77 @gkittle46 No, I’m from New York where we have good food. Nashville‘s food scene is comparative dog shit.

@NotASportsBrnr @CollegeHoopsTIk To be fair that guy does. I think he traveled every time he hid the ball.

@CollegeHoopsTIk I mean, that was an on the floor foul. This isn't the NBA. You don't get 6 steps of continuation moving away from the basket

This was called an on-the-floor foul. Trey Kaufman-Renn is irate

@4themusicman @GoldandBurner I saw those steps too. Seemed like every time in the post he would shuffle his feet.

@GoldandBurner That’s rich. Someone crying about Renn getting called for a foul. It’s only to make up for the 74 they didn’t call. Oh and btw, Oscar Cluff just took another 19 steps. But no travel here. Carry on.

This is what we’re up against. Refs are already letting Arizona get away with murder. TKR being held with both hands by the Arizona defender on the inbounds. Foul on TKR.

@newstart_2024 The left is party of academics and technocrats

Jimmy Carr, the British comedian, made a sharp observation about a major political shift happening in the West. He traces it back to Hillary Clinton calling millions of Americans “deplorable.” From there, he says, traditional left-leaning parties started to change. In the UK, he argues the Labour Party — once the party of the working man — has undergone a kind of “gentrification.” It no longer feels like it speaks to the average working guy (the “white van man”), who is now more likely to support Reform on the right. Carr wonders when exactly that switch happened, and whether this drift from working-class roots signals something bigger — possibly even the beginning of the end for classic liberalism. It’s one comedian’s blunt take, but it captures a tension you see playing out in many countries: parties moving away from their traditional base while voters quietly look for new options. As someone not from the UK, I found his framing interesting. Does this kind of shift feel familiar in your own country too, or do you see the reasons differently?

@swapnakpanda @arnofski @MasculineM7 She is a new grad. She is not above average. In fact we don’t even know if she is average. Academic success does not always translate to the job market

@arnofski @MasculineM7 If you know you are not an average, then why agree for a salary that averages get? They may laugh and pick an average person instead of you only if that position is really average.

Good luck hiring Genz Females 😇

@thebrothajit @CPyles8 Do you watch freestyle? I do. I don’t think it kills action. Especially with a shot clock.

@CPyles8 if a pushout point gets added to college wrestling it will kill action even more. guys will cease offense and just try to get push out points which is a worse product. i get the idea just dont think it works with folkstyle very well

In freestyle, out of bounds overwhelmingly helps the attacking wrestler. In folkstyle, out of bounds overwhelming helps the defensive wrestler.

@YikesBikessss @__ABALLDAY @LarryInMissouri We need a shot clock.

@__ABALLDAY @LarryInMissouri I won’t accept folkstyle slander. Folkstyle is way more entertaining and competitive than freestyle. Yes, wrestlers stall but the refs do a pretty good job of mitigating it. The 125 pound match was booty cheeks. Only way to fix that is put them in the girl’s tournament.

NCAA recap 1.Penn state fatigue is real 2. Folkstyle promotes stalling 3. What is a takedown? 4. NCAA finals is still the best environment in all of wrestling 5. Those who’ve never wrestled in the tournament always have the most to say Congrats to all who competed this weekend

@thehonestg0y @_ANDSTFU Probably because they want you to go home.

@_ANDSTFU Im from Ohio and moved down to South Carolina about 12 years ago. This is true. There is no such thing as southern hospitality.

Hot take: Southern hospitality is a myth. You guys are very sarcastic and oddly unkind in situations where it’s not really warranted.

@Hawkhoe @__ABALLDAY Some don't care about the dynasty I just don't like T&T

@__ABALLDAY More folks hate Iowa for their dynasty 20yrs ago than hate PSU for their current dynasty. Lots of old fans need to die off I guess.

@JoeKania3 Meh….i have comps in grappling wrestling and judo. Most of the guys I competed against were all cool. Some i beat. Some beat me. No I wasn’t a D1 athlete but something about the grind of grappling builds camaraderie. I don’t want to see wrestling become mma or even basketball

I have no problem with Messenbrink here. It is not a nice thing to do, though. That’s ok. Wrestling is not a nice sport. But walking up to seven people whose dreams were just crushed to be like gg thanks for trying isn’t wholesome it’s antagonistic. Nothing wrong with that. People have this idea that wrestlers are supposed to be these choir boy types. That doesn’t align with the nature of the sport.
