This can be moved to a different forum if necessary but thought this such an eye opening read (flashback) in honor of Lieberman's passing. This is in today's WSJ but the article itself was written...
Maybe it’s human nature but it’s so predictable; when a person from the other party is deemed a ‘maverick’ who bucks their party leadership from time to time we like them, but when it’s someone from...
I could be misremembering and just saying this out of respect for someone who just passed but I remember him as kind of an old school Senator who had an element of statesman to him and was willing to...
We've chosen as a country not to address it previously so now the results will likely be raising taxes, increasing retirement age and reducing benefits. It's not a conspiracy, it's math. We have...
"If the regime wants people to work past 65..." By regime you mean people who understand S.S. as currently construed isn't sustainable and changes need to be made including increasing the retirement...
What would older white guys tell us about their job searches that would differ from someone of any other race or ethnicity?
Edit: I'm over 50 and I keep my eyes out for opportunities. What am I...
Yeah, it's great for those who choose (and can afford) to retire early but unfortunately, to your point, a number of these folks probably aren't financially prepared for what's to come.
LOL. Smart people will tell you it’s not possible because they understand reality.
Huckster politicians will tell you it’s possible and someone else will pay for it. That’s who we elect to...
People are living longer lives. Reasons to me you either need to work longer or live a more frugal lifestyle during your peak earning years to be able to retire earlier.
It’s understandable...
If we're being honest it's pretty much the same 20 to 25 posters on here day after day discussing basically the exact same thing. It is highly tribal and you can pretty accurately predict how 90% of...
Oh man, what I would pay to see you and some pro-Palestinian liberals protesting together on some Ivy League campus.
There is racial/racist sh*t all over the internet. The internet is not a “safe space”. I don’t buy for a second that people don’t post here because of TDAK. Young people are probably like “why do...
It's always interesting when politics makes for strange bedfellows. You are one of the biggest Trump supporters on the board event through Trump is a huge Israel supporter (and went the Biden 'you...
I think he's a member of the Silent Generation (he's older than the Boomers).
My first thought is they are busy living their lives and don't have time to spend hours every day talking and dissecting the daily words and actions of Trump and Biden. The only people that really...
We have a new leader in the clubhouse. Two posters on this board under 50. Alright Damo, we need some more age diversity please. Get your DE&I cranking on that marketing.
Maybe I shouldn't say this as a Republican but I didn't even know who she was so I don't care about her per se. But hearing these folks at MSNBC (especially) and NBC saying 'we can't have a...
Looking like our coach Andy Enfield is headed to SMU. I follow our team closely and had no idea this was happening until this morning. There were zero rumors of this.
I'm 51 so kind of right in the heart of Gen X. This board is heavily dominated by Boomers and from the sound of it, retired Boomers. Not stating this in a negative way as it is what it is, but the...
Sorry, not trying to derail your thread, but are you the youngest poster on the board?
I was in high school when the Cypress Freeway collapsed in Oakland during our big earthquake. Scary stuff. Prayers out to Baltimore.
Eh, if someone is willing to vote third party do you think the VP really matters regardless of where they are from?
Didn't stop a number of them from voting for Biden. Why would they care where the VP was born?
Our current VP was born in Oakland and now RFK Jr's VP selection was born and raised in Oakland. As the locals like to say it's all "Town Biz".
RFK Jr. to Name Nicole Shanahan as Running...
