Not yet, he isn’t.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)[quote quote=1133]Right on cue Doc espouses his platform. Nothing has changed. Boring. His last original thought came in 1975 which was, “There must be three Muncie’s and we can’t tackle any of them.”[/quote]

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)That’s really eye-popping.
Why don’t they just call it what it is: It’s a payroll tax that is intended to be stuck to the employer vs. the employee. Employees would vote if you stuck the very same tax to them. The company? not so much.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)I don’t think she is that great, and she has both alienated police and emboldened criminals over the past month. She spoke up correctly yesterday but only after an 8 year old child was killed in a cop free zone that she has at least implicitly sanctioned.
her words were right, but actions leading up to them were questionable and probably disqualifying on a national stage.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Well, the white guy in the ga governor’s mansion decided that bottoms’s City is out of control and is calling out the national guard.
crazy times. Prosecute the police, call out the national guard.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Wow. The only other one I would have even been able to guess was Loren.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Cool background story. Sounds like you have a lot to be proud of.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)At this point I would just about vote for Kanye.
and I agree. Sobering list. Exciting that we live in a society that has to sort this stuff out in public. Should be fun.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)An interesting scenario would be if trump were to withdraw. I don’t think he has it in him, but sure would like to contemplate the possibility of his successor.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)The positive rate has increased lately, but it is by no means “high” compared to May, when tests were becoming more readily available.
I’m not at all arguing against your point, but am trying to provide context. The recent blip in positive rates may mean people are getting sicker, but it can also mean that fewer doctors are ordering the tests for anybody who is curious. Greater test discipline has to be factored in.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)I think of community organizers as being akin to union organizers and many people (not you) make the leap to a pithy “commie” implication. It is said for effect.
there are many community organizers who don’t go by that name, of course. Chambers of commerce would qualify. As would rotarians, lions clubs, and even YMCAs. I mean, jeez, the NRA are essentially community organizers, and damned good ones.
I DO think that these sorts of organizations are useful to improving things for a given community. I DO NOT believe that all of them are equivalent. Organizations that simply seek to accumulate power, regardless of ends, are the ones that should be the most examined. That’s my chief criticism of political parties.
and, hey, I have no issue with a city reallocating it’s resources to community services instead of police. What could be more american than letting localities govern themselves. That doesn’t mean I have to agree with what they are doing, of course, but then again I have the privilege of not having to live or work where these things matter. I’m astounded at how politicians will do things that their constituents “want” without explaining to them what it really means.
In other words, I’m no relativist, I just don’t give a shit what some politician or community organizer in Minnesota is doing beyond mere entertainment. If it works, we should all do it. If it doesn’t, then shame on them for not listening, and pity the poor man who can’t vote with his feet.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)I think it’s fair to say that not all first responders are worthy of the title hero, and not all community organizers are commies.
The issue we have so, so wrong these days is the inability to think in shades of gray. I blame twitter, facebook, and the opening of very narrow minds to the masses. That means you guys.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)[quote quote=1055]I can’t believe political leaders implemented policies costing more than $6 trillion resolving the issues you highlight. There has to be a better approach for managing in an uncertain environment?[/quote]
There is, but we stopped letting people own their own risk a long time ago. The federal government as a backstop to every major risk to the elite class is expected of not codified.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Before Rocky leaves, I will just ask him to click the link below (response #1013) and let us all know if this was his “censored” post that was “removed.”
and, if so, I can only say: lighten up Francis.
You were referencing posts in a different thread and could have looked up your history on your own before complaining about censorship and removal. If you need to leave the board, then leave, but don’t take so many posts to explain why. I value your contributions but I think you are seeing censorship ghosts too often right now.
I have never met you but hear you are a lovable little guy in person. Now how about taking your fun sized self and having some fun mixing it up here. Huh?
