Re: Sattler College Turmoil

Any institution that is dependent on a single source of funding, is only as secure as that source of funding. Saying that a “dedicated stream of funding is impossible to unwind,” is perhaps a bit naive. For all we know, someone could file chapter 11, and all bets are off. Not that I expect this to ...

Re: Social Security ....The monthly Check...yes or no

When Social Security was implemented in 1935, the general life expectancy was around 60 years. And the benefits were set to begin at age 65. It looks to me that its intention was not to allow for people to live long lives of luxury and leisure for the last 20 or so years of their lives. So if Socia...

Re: Poll: 2024 Presidential Election

Unsuccessful Vice-President candidates such as John Edwards, Sarah Palin, Joe Lieberman, Bob Dole all ran for president later. Successful Vice President candidates Joe Biden, Al Gore, and Mike Pence ran for President after their Vice-President stints.

In 2007-2008 I was doing a lot of construction work tract/spec builders. When the real estate crash happened they couldn’t pay me. No work left to do either. We struggled around until 2011. Then I closed my business, liquidated my equipment, sold real estate, paid all my supplier debts. My equipment...
