I’m sorry this hits so close to home. It’s amazing to me that someone can escalate from “workplace bullying” to murder so quickly. I get that his political ambitions were trashed but he didn’t deserve them. Tragic, tragic story for German, who appears to have fought the good fight for a long time.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)This is nuts. The ACTUAL elected official he was investigating, a guy named Telles, appears to be the murderer. Guy did it himself it would appear.

Your tax dollars at work.

a tragedy that is happening in almost every institution in America. Can’t pass the test? Ditch the test.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)I do agree that our kids are way beyond me in education. But their work ethic absolutely sucks. I love my kids and think they will do ok in life, but am shocked at how willing today’s youths are to just sit around and do nothing.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)This one is perplexing to the point of requiring conspiracy theories (your Russian jab).
However, what an awful story. How much duress must a man be under to take such action? I saw the ny post article on this when it first came out and was shocked. For a senior executive to be this far gone and still functioning in role is morbidly impressive.
Peace to his loved ones. This was the awful story of the weekend.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)I agree with btd that EV’s are becoming the more attractive consumer item. I don’t think superiority of driver experience being in favor of ICE’s will last long.
I fear for the power grid. I can envision a day when EV’s are software programmed to only charge on certain days and to only give the driver a certain amount of charge by regulation. Think water rationing. It will be easy with Tesla’s over the air update model.
It will be just one more little nick in the tree of freedom.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Housing has a long way to drop. Maybe 15% on average but possibly 50 percent in some locales. There has been a lot of cash out there. Rises in rates, burn off of the fed balance sheet, high inflation on consumer goods, and an unsteady stock market all factor in.
Waiting for the next bailout with 3.5 percent unemployment.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)This is entirely predictable. When the governing party sides with outlaws and anarchists against the police, what do you expect? The real sad part is that property and violent crimes are likely up more than the stats because why bother calling the police?

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Such a bad idea. It’s a relief program for the well off at best…in one of the best employment environments in history…after having given a nearly 3 year window of no interest and no payments.
How we can’t see the whirlwind this will reap is beyond me. Nobody will move to pay off federal student debt in the future.
The most unfortunate theme around this is that it’s somehow costless…an accounting entry by the government that doesn’t actually impact taxpayers. This, after the same side of the political aisle used student loan revenues as an offset to Obamacare costs just over a dozen years ago. This line of thinking will be the end of the republic.
For me, the silent group that should be shamed the most in this is the academic establishment that has pillaged the government for its own edification. I think the right thing to do would be to establish a luxury tax on colleges that raise tuition above the long term inflation rate. That would go farther to fix things than a forgiveness program that goes on while the government is still making the same loans.
